#TopTipThursday #TTT #temperature #LookAfterYourDevice
As the temperature starts to increase remember not to leave your devices in direct sun light for too long.
Devices can overheat if left in extreme temperature for too long, sometimes your device will notify you that it is too hot and will switch off, or stop working, but be careful as the heat can even damage it.

Do you have a Gmail Account?
Well, here are three tips to use to make sure your account is secure and safe.
1. Checking your recent security events panel on your Gmail account, for any suspicious activity. (found via Security in the navigation panel)
2. See what devices are using your account within Gmail account settings.
3. Setting up if you do not have it already the two-step verification – this means that if your password was to be stolen your account should still be secure.
If you need some support with doing the above tips, why not get in contact with the team and check our services using our website link below.
