Even though autumn is on the calendar, the touch of monsoon has not left yet. Wet and humid environments can be quite harmful to home electronic devices. Especially essential things like TV, AC, fridge etc. can get damaged due to lightning or excessive humidity. So it is very important to pay special attention to electronic devices at this time.

Smart TV protection

Rain and lightning increase the chance of damage to electrical devices. If lightning strikes, there is a risk of damage to smart TV, AC, fridge etc. For this reason, precautions should be taken before and after operating any type of electrical equipment. Especially the Smart TV—which is one of the focal points of home entertainment these days. Doing something wrong in this regard can lead to huge financial losses. So it is necessary to follow some special rules in using smart TV.

Precautions to be taken while using Smart TV in Monsoon

1. Check the television wiring
Moisture in the house wiring can cause problems on rainy days. So it is important to check the cables before operating the TV. Repair any wires that are wet or frayed immediately. If necessary, seek the help of a professional electrician. If there is a risk of lightning during rain, it is better to turn off the TV.

2. Use stabilizers to handle voltage fluctuations
Electricity voltage fluctuations during monsoons are very high, which can damage the TV circuit. So it is very important to use a voltage stabilizer to protect the smart TV. It protects not only your TV but also other electronic devices.

3. Do not operate the TV with wet hands
Holding the TV switch or remote with wet hands can be dangerous. There is a risk of electric shock. At the same time, water entering the remote can damage its functionality. So make sure your hands are completely dry before operating the TV.

4. Use Universal Power Supply
During monsoons there may be power supply problems or frequent load shedding. Using a Universal Power Supply (UPS) will greatly reduce the risk of the TV shutting down or breaking the circuit. This device is capable of keeping the TV on for a short period of time even if the power goes out, and then you can safely turn off the TV.

5. Disconnect the system cables connected to the TV
Smart TVs are often connected to other devices such as sound systems, game consoles, etc. It's best to keep them separate during rains, as any device can be damaged by sudden power surges. Such devices are most likely to be damaged especially by lightning.

6. Place the TV in a dry and safe place
The place where the TV is placed should be dry and away from rain. Place the TV in a location where direct rain or moisture cannot reach it. If necessary, you can use a dehumidifier next to the TV, which will help control the humidity in the room.

7. Take special care with the remote control
Smart TV remote is a very important tool. If water gets inside the remote during monsoons, it may lose functionality. So after using the remote, keep it in a place where water or moisture cannot reach it. If necessary you can use a silicone cover on the remote, which will keep it safe.

8. Servicing the TV Regular
monsoons can cause problems due to moisture in the interior of the TV. So TV servicing should be done every year before monsoon. Having the TV tested by experts will increase both its durability and safety.

9. Turn off the TV during lightning
It is very dangerous to turn on the TV during lightning. Lightning strikes through electrical wires can directly strike home electronic devices. During such times it is very important to switch off the TV and disconnect its electrical connection.

Monsoon is a time when both humidity and electrical problems are high. And its impact is mostly on electronic devices. So it is very important to take care of smart TVs and other electrical appliances at this time. A little carelessness can lead to big problems and there is also the possibility of financial loss.
