How to Protect Your TV During Bad Weather
1. Place the TV in a Suitable Location
It is important to position the TV in a high, dry location away from walls. Moisture can increase the risk of electrical contamination and damage to internal circuits and components. Keep the TV about 3cm away from the wall and avoid placing it on the floor or near entrances.

2. Check the Electrical Wiring System
Regularly check the electrical wiring system, including circuit breakers, fuses, and switches. If these systems are located below 1m, consider elevating them above 1m40 to prevent electrical leakage during flooding. Avoid placing electrical outlets on wet walls or low, ground-level areas in rainy seasons.
