The Do’s and Don’ts for Taking Care of Your Tech

Aug. 22, 2023 - Once your dream installation is complete, the last thing you want to happen is a shortened lifespan due to improper care. Knowing how to maintain AV technology can be the key to making the most of your digital solutions for the best quality in long-term usage! Learn more about the do’s and don’ts of taking care of your AV solutions below.

DO – Ensure proper ventilation

Be sure to place your AV equipment in a well-ventilated area away from heat sources or areas prone to extreme temperatures. When arranging the placement of devices, allow ample space to avoid overcrowding built-in vents and prevent overheating and allow for proper airflow.

If the solution is outdoors, consider buying products with wide operating temperature ranges for protection from climatic conditions. Solutions with filters or fans for easy maintenance are also important.

DO – Store your system correctly

Choose a cool, dry area to store AV equipment and devices that are easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning. Avoid cramped spaces where cables and devices can easily become tangled or disorganized to avoid the risk of them falling and breaking.

It is also key to keep power cables separate from audio and video cables to minimize electromagnetic interference. If a solution is mounted or suspended in the air, be sure the mounting system is durable and properly fits the display to ensure long-term support.

DON’T – Skip regular cleanings

Make time to regularly clean the backs, vents, and screens with a microfiber cloth. This will help to ensure a satisfactory visual experience and maintain the high-quality operation of the technology. If the back vents aren’t regularly maintained and become congested with dust, dirt, or other contaminants, the device may be more likely to overheat and malfunction. Don’t forget to vacuum or dust any areas immediately surrounding the vent to avoid increased dust intake after cleaning the ventilation systems.

DON’T – Neglect maintenance

Even with the latest AV technology and equipment, regular maintenance is essential to keeping your AV solutions operating at their best. Don’t skip out on addressing any operational issues with the proper service required. Be sure to schedule routine check-ups to maintain the lifespan of your equipment. Also, remember to address firmware updates when applicable.

Taking care of your AV equipment can provide the best results for captivating digital displays and entertainment! Use these best practices to extend the use of AV solutions and get the most out of your investment.
