Safety Tips for Using Earphones While Charging

1. Use Genuine Accessories
   Always use the original HP charger and certified earphones. Third-party or low-quality accessories can pose electrical risks.

2. Avoid Damaged Cables or Ports
   Inspect your charging cable and earphones for any visible damage. Frayed wires or loose connectors can be hazardous.

3. Keep the Laptop on a Hard Surface
   Ensure your laptop is placed on a hard, flat surface to allow proper ventilation and avoid overheating.

4. Avoid Moisture
   Do not use earphones with wet hands or in damp environments while the laptop is charging.

5. Use Surge Protection
   Plug your charger into a surge protector to safeguard against voltage spikes.
