The guidelines below are meant to help you on how to protect your device and make it last longer.
1. Avoid dropping your ipod on the ground or hitting it against hard surfaces. This is among the worst things to do to your ipod. Some components can get disassembeled eventually or it may break and cease to function properly or at all. Always make sure that you do not leave you’re your ipod on the edge of a desk or handle it carelessly.
2. Liquids! Liquids! Liquids!
These can be the worst enemy to your ipod device. Avoid dropping your device in water or spill tea or coffee on it. Liquids will affect the electronic components inside your device, and it may cease to work unexpectadly. Don’t swim with it. You don’t want to play music as you swim-do you? If you suspect it may rain better carry an umbrella or a waterproof enclosure for your ipod.
3. Avoid exposing your device to extreme high temperatures. Always try to keep it at room temperature. Don’t leave it at the dashboard in your car parked in the open. Temperatures can reach 45 degrees celcius there when the ipod’s maximum operating temperature is 35degrees celcius.
4. Keep your ipod away from the reach of ‘innocent’ children
Kids are kids-they will always be kids! Make sure you won’t leave your ipod where unknowledgeable kids will pick it and kick it. Some may suckle it into their mouth. They are innocent. Keep your device safe.
5. Thieves! Thieves! Thieves!
When moving around risky areas, it is better to calm your ipod and put it beyond strangers’ sight. If you want to show off, you may end up showing off at a police station as well. Loosing your property to someone unscrupulous is among the most painful things. I can’t help remembering how someone heartiless scooped my new phone! If possible you can consider getting your device ensured.
