Changing the Batteries around Your Gainesville, Florida Apartment
The rain is pouring down and the thunder is vibrating the windows of your apartment. It’s a typical summer shower in Gainesville, Florida—only this time, the lightning causes a blackout, and it looks like the electricity won’t be up-and-running anytime soon. In your darkened apartment, you dig around for your trusty flashlight and push the button, only to realize the batteries are dead.
Situations like this are familiar to many of us, and should help us remember to keep fresh batteries in all of our safety accessories. To avoid the problem of a dead flashlight or radio when you really need it, you may want to test and change batteries throughout your Gainesville, Florida apartment at least once a year. Important battery operated items include:
- Smoke alarms
- Telephones
- Flashlights in your home and car
- Clocks
- Portable radios
- Digital cameras
Many people test and change their batteries when they spring forward for Daylight Saving Time, but you can pick any date that you will easily remember. If you need assistance with an apartment-related safety item like smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and safety lights, contact your management office immediately.
