Alternatives to Disposing and Recycling Electronics

As the technology continues to flourish, new devices are being developed every day replacing the old ones.
With the increasing proliferation of these devices and even in reduced costs, their disposal has become a significant issue.
Environmental and Security Concerns
Majority of the devices are composed of plastics and metals that are non-degradable and thus can harm the environment with their toxic constituents. Environment damaging compositions of these gadgets often include chemicals and other elements such as mercury, acids, lead, arsenic, lithium etc.
Besides, there is also a major security concern when it comes to disposing these devices. This is because most of them contain sensitive personal information that should be removed prior to the disposal. Disposal does not mean actually damaging the device completely but also to recycle it as on the whole or certain parts.
Here is what to do prior to recycling or disposing of the electronic gadgets
• If the device is your personal phone or any other gadget in which you had your personal information saved, it is advised to remove all the sensitive information before recycling. You can format the hard drives, disks and memory cards etc to prevent the data from any potential unauthorized access.
• In case, you are not being able to format the storage media, it is ideal to destroy it. In case of computers, you can certainly retain the hard drives and use it with another computer.
• Find out what kind of products do the EPA (Environment Protection Agency) or any other recycling centers accept. While few of the centers accept everything, yet some of the facilities do not accept electronics.
• If your device is in a working condition, best is to check with the local charity stores whether they take Electronic Devices as donations or not. You may also wish to consider checking with an electronics vendor or a store about their policies at the time of replacing your device.

Bluetooth Device Using Guide

Many professionals as well as home users are opting for a wireless Bluetooth device to enhance the ease of
use of their iPhones. However, most of the users experience a lot of problems with these small devices as they are not aware of how to use them properly. Here are some less known facts about these devices that very few users know:
Irrespective of the manufacturer, a Bluetooth device must not be charged for more than three consecutive hours. Usually there are indicator lights provided on the device cover to observe the battery level, if not, unplug the device from the power supply after three hours. Charging for longer intervals may reduce the battery life.
For better audio clarity, put the phone and the Bluetooth headsets on the same side of your body. It will enhance the signal reception.
If you are unable to get your phone connected with the Bluetooth device, maybe there are some compatibility issues between the two devices. Make sure you are using the correct version of Bluetooth.
If you use your Bluetooth device less frequently, it is advised that you keep it on charging for a few minutes for activation after every couple of days.
Otherwise, there are chances that the device goes into the sleep mode after which it won’t be possible to use it further.
Repeated disconnection between your phone and the device can also be an indicator of incompatibility between the two. Due to this mismatch, the phone may send a loud and clear signal to the device but the Bluetooth won’t be able to receive it completely and decode it into an audio signal free from noise. Also, if the distance between the two is increased, the headsets may get automatically disconnected at a certain level of separation
By taking care of these small but significant points, you can augment the quality of operation and life of your Bluetooth device.
