Out of power?

• Find out where to switch off 3G on your smart phone. If you disable this function, you’ll save a huge amount of power  – power you might need in case of an emercency.
• Buy an extra USB cable and store it in your office. If your cellphone battery is out of power or your charger is lost, you can still charge your phone with your pc. These chargers cost less than R80-00 at most shops.
• A protective cover for your cell phone will prevent it from heating up too fast, using unnecessary energy and battery power.
• When you charge your battery, place it on a cold or neutral surface and not on a warm area where it will build up heat.

Drive safely

• All of us aren’t great multitaskers, especially when it comes to driving. Rather get yourself a bluetooth headpiece before you’re fined, or worse, cause an accident. You don’t have to buy the most expensive model on the market, even a basic model, like  this, will do the job.

Keep in contact

• Save all your contacts in one central place online, for example in a Google account. Smart phones can sync your contacts from the account and you don’t have to struggle to get hold of people when your phone is stolen or decides not to work anymore.
