Keep Your Electronics Safe During the Winter

With the Winter weather upon us, we wanted to remind you that you aren't the only one who needs to stay warm - you need to also keep your electronics safe.

Taking a computer or iphone that has been in a cold temperature to a warmer temperature, can cause condensation within the computer or device, which can cause damage (e.g. leaving your laptop out in the car during winter overnight and then moving it into a warm building and powering it up immediately).

To help prevent this situation from occurring:

Do not leave your laptop in a car for any length of time during cold or hot weather.
When working in cold conditions or transporting your computer through colder weather, keep it in its laptop carrying case.
If you are working in extreme cold weather (e.g., -5°c or lower) and moving the computer to a warmer room, we suggest letting the computer remain off for a few minutes before turning it on.
