🌀 STAY SAFE & PROTECT YOUR TECH 🌀
With the cyclone approaching, please take care of yourselves and your gear! To help prevent hardware damage from power surges or outages, here are a few quick tips from the team at RD3 Tech:
🔌 Unplug Non-Essentials: The only 100% way to protect your gear from a massive surge is to physically unplug it from the wall. This includes computers, monitors, and especially your internet routers!
🛡️ Check Your Surge Protectors: If you keep devices plugged in, make sure you're using a dedicated surge protector (not just a standard power strip).
👉 Pro-Tip: Check the "Protected" LED light on the unit. If that light is out or red, your protector has "sacrificed" itself during a past surge and is no longer protecting your gear!
🔋 Charge Up Now: Get your phones, laptops, and power banks to 100% while the grid is stable.
📱 Power Save Mode: Switch your mobile devices to ‘Low Power Mode’ early, to stretch your battery life as long as possible.
These small steps can make a big difference in safeguarding your equipment. Stay safe, stay dry, and look after each other! 🤝
All the best,
RD3 Tech
