Ekituuka ku ssimu yo mu bbanga eddene ng’evuddeko¶

Understanding the limits helps you plan. Your phone does not only need power at home. It also needs the mobile network to work.

• Battery yo eriko enkomerero. Essimu eya bulijjo ewangaala olunaku nga lumu ng’ekozesebwa mu ngeri eya bulijjo. Bw’ogiteeka n’obwegendereza esobola okumala ennaku bbiri oba nnya, n’okusingawo singa ogikozesa eddakiika ntono zokka olunaku.
• Eminaala gy’essimu girina amaanyi aga ‘backup power’, naye si ga bulijjo. Bangi balina bbaatule oba jenereta ezimala essaawa eziwera, ate ezimu ziwangaala. Mu kiseera ekiwanvu ng’essimu yo evuddeko, eminaala giyinza okulekera awo okukola, n’olwekyo okubikka kuyinza okuggwaawo ne bw’eba essimu yo ebadde ecaajinga.
• Wi-Fi stops. Your home router needs power. Without it, calls over Wi-Fi and home internet will not work, and your phone will rely on mobile data.
• Cordless landline phones stop working. The base station needs mains power. A corded phone often works during an outage, because the line supplies its own power.
• Networks get busy. Many people use their phones at once, so calls may fail while texts get through.
• Cold and heat change battery life. Batteries lose capacity in the cold, and heat can make a phone slow or shut down.

Stretching a single charge for days¶

If you cannot charge your phone, you can still make it last. The key is to treat your battery as a ration.

Set your phone to the lowest useful mode¶

1. Turn on low power or battery saver mode. This limits background activity.
2. Lower the screen brightness to the minimum you can read, and set a short screen timeout of 15 or 30 seconds.
3. Switch off Wi-Fi if your router is off. Searching for a network wastes power.
4. Switch off Bluetooth, hotspot, and NFC unless you need them.
5. Turn off background app refresh, automatic downloads and automatic updates.
6. Switch off location services for apps that do not need it.
7. Turn off push notifications for apps that are not important.
8. Use dark mode if your phone has an OLED display.
9. Close apps that run in the background, especially video, maps and games.
10. Ggyako vibration ne haptic feedback.
11. Essimu giteeke mu mbeera y'ennyonyi wakati w'okukebera bw'oba olina ensonga ez'amaanyi ezikekkereza amasannyalaze. Kizikire mu biseera ebiteekeddwawo, gamba ng’oku ntikko ya buli ssaawa, okufuna obubaka.

Essimu gikuume ku bbugumu eddungi¶

In the cold, keep the phone inside a coat or next to your body. In heat, keep it in the shade and away from direct sun. Do not put a phone in the freezer or near a heater to warm or cool it.

Use other devices for jobs the phone does¶

• Torch or lantern instead of the phone flashlight.
• A battery or hand crank radio for news. See empuliziganya ey’amangu etali ku mutimbagano.
• A wind up or battery clock instead of the screen.
• A paper notebook for lists and numbers.
• A paper map instead of navigation.
• A corded landline for calls, if you have one.

What long battery life looks like¶

With these steps, a phone that would normally last one day can often be made to last two to four days if you check it only a few times a day. The exact figures depend on the phone, its age and the temperature. Treat these as estimates, and test your own phone before an emergency.

Charging options at home¶

Power banks¶

A power bank is the best home backup. It stores several charges and works anywhere.

• Charge it before the outage. Keep one or two banks full and top them up every few months, since they slowly lose charge.
• Pick the right size. A 10,000 mAh bank gives roughly two phone charges, and 20,000 mAh roughly four. A household may want a larger one, or several.
• Use it wisely. Charge the phone to about 80 percent and stop. Do not leave the phone plugged in at 100 percent for long.
• Share it. In a family, agree who charges first and what the priority is, for example the phone with the best battery life or the one of the person who has a medical need.
• Kuuma bbanka ng'ebuguma. Ennyonta ekendeeza ku bifulumizibwa.
• Tokozesa bbanka eyonoonese oba okuzimba. Lekera awo okugikozesa ogitwale mu kifo w’ogenda okuddamu okukola.
• Keep it away from flammable material while charging.

Car charging¶

A car is a convenient power source, but it needs care.

1. Move the car outside. Park it outdoors, in the open, with the exhaust pipe clear of snow, mud and obstructions. Never run the engine inside a garage, even with the door open.
2. Use a 12 volt socket adapter or the car's USB ports. Bring your own cable.
3. Run the engine only while charging. A short run of 20 to 30 minutes is often enough to charge phones. Fuel is precious in an outage, so do not idle for hours.
4. Keep a window slightly open if you sit in the car. Check that the exhaust pipe is not blocked.
5. Check your fuel. Keep your tank at least half full during storm seasons, since petrol stations may be without power.
6. Do not drain the car battery. Charging with the engine off can drain it, and the car may not start. If you need to charge with the engine off, do it for short periods.
7. Be careful in the cold. If you stay in the car for warmth, you risk carbon monoxide poisoning. Read carbon monoxide.
8. Hybrid and electric cars may charge a phone through a socket or USB port, but check the manual. Using an electric car to charge a phone uses a small amount of its range.

Solar chargers¶

A small solar panel can give a trickle charge in daylight.

• Londa ekipande ekizinga ekyakolebwa ku masimu, ekipimiddwa watt nga 10 oba okusingawo.
• Place it in direct sun, and angle it toward the sun.
• Chaagisa bbanka y’amasannyalaze nayo, okusinga okucaajinga essimu butereevu, kubanga bbanka eno egonza ekire n’ekisiikirize.
• Expect a slow charge, and do not rely on it in heavy cloud or winter.
• Keep it clean and dry.

Hand crank chargers and radios¶

A hand crank radio with a USB port can give a small emergency charge. A minute of cranking gives only a few minutes of phone use, so treat it as a last resort for a short call or a text. Its main value is the radio, which can give news and alerts when the network is down.

Generators and portable power stations¶

A portable generator can charge many devices, but it carries serious risks.

• Place the generator outdoors, at least 6 meters (20 feet) from the house, doors, windows and vents, with the exhaust pointing away. Do not run it in a garage, a basement, a shed or on a porch.
• Install battery operated or plug in carbon monoxide alarms with battery backup in the home.
• Refuel only when the generator is cool and switched off. Store fuel outside, away from living areas.
• Never connect a generator to a house outlet or wiring without a proper transfer switch installed by a qualified electrician. Back feeding can kill utility workers and neighbours.
• Use heavy duty outdoor extension cords rated for the load.
• Keep it dry. Use a canopy or cover, not a closed box.

A portable power station, which is a large battery with sockets and USB ports, is a safer indoor alternative, since it has no exhaust. Charge it before storm season and top it up every few months. Read generator safety and carbon monoxide era generator safety before you use a generator.

Laptops and other batteries¶

A laptop battery can charge a phone through a USB port, but it drains the laptop quickly. Use it only when the phone is nearly flat and the laptop is charged. Camping lamps and some battery packs also have USB sockets.

Table: charging options compared¶

Community charging points¶

When the outage lasts many hours or days, local authorities and community groups often set up places to charge phones. These may be open for a few hours a day.

Where to look¶

• Emergency shelters and relief centres. Many have charging stations, power strips and information desks.
• Libraries and community centres. They may have a backup generator, or they may be in an area with power.
• Town halls and civic buildings.
• Fire stations and police stations, in some areas. Check your local policy before you go, as staff are busy with emergencies.
• Schools, churches and other places of worship that open to the community.
• Shops, malls and cafes in areas where the power is on. Politely ask, and consider buying something small.
• Hospitals, only for medical needs, not for charging.
• Mobile charging trucks or trailers set up by utilities, charities or local government after major storms.
• Neighbours with a generator, solar or power in the next street. Ask kindly, and offer to bring your own cable and a thank you.
• Your workplace, if power is on there.

How to find them¶

• Check your local government or utility website and social media accounts, when you have signal. Many publish lists after a major event.
• Listen to a battery radio for announcements.
• Look for signs and volunteers, and ask a neighbour.
• Call your local non emergency information line, if available, not the emergency number.
• Dial the local information service, for example 211 in parts of the United States and Canada, where it exists. Check that it applies in your area.

Using a community point safely¶

1. Bring your own cable, wall adapter and power bank. Do not use shared or unknown cables.
2. Do not use unknown public USB ports without protection. See ebifo eby’okusasula ssente mu lujjudde n’ebiziyiza data.
3. Label your cable and charger, so they do not get mixed up.
4. Stay with your device, or use a locker if provided.
5. Be patient and share. Charge to about 50 to 80 percent, and let others have a turn.
6. Go with a buddy, and follow the instructions of staff and volunteers.
7. Check road and travel conditions first. Do not drive through floodwater or past downed power lines. See layini z’amasannyalaze ezigudde n’okukubwa amasannyalaze mu mmotoka.
8. Twala bbanka y'amasannyalaze okucaajinga ng'olinda, olwo ogiteeke awaka.

Downed power lines¶

Treat every fallen line as live. Stay at least 10 meters (33 feet) away, and warn others. Report it to the utility and call your local emergency number.

Prepare before the outage¶

Preparation is cheap. If you do these things in calm weather, an outage becomes a manageable nuisance.

1. Buy at least one power bank, preferably two, and keep them full. Check them every three months.
2. Keep a car charger and a cable in each vehicle, and keep the fuel tank at least half full in storm season.
3. Keep a battery or hand crank radio and spare batteries.
4. Store battery torches or lanterns where you can find them in the dark.
5. Consider a solar charger or a portable power station.
6. Keep a corded landline phone if you rely on a landline.
7. Keep a paper list of key phone numbers and a notebook. See jenereta ya kaadi y’okukwatagana mu mbeera ey’amangu.
8. Install carbon monoxide alarms and smoke alarms with battery backup.
9. Save your electricity company's outage number and website on paper as well as in your phone.
10. Know where community charging points and shelters are in your area.
11. Agree a family plan. Decide who will be contacted, how to check in and where to meet. See phone dead during a disaster or evacuation.
12. Charge everything when a storm warning is issued.
13. Download maps, news and entertainment for offline use.
14. Set up a low power routine and practise it once.
15. Put together an emergency kit. Read ekintu eky’amangu.

A day by day plan for a long outage¶

A simple plan keeps everyone calm and the battery alive. Adjust it to your household and your devices.

Essimu gikuume nga teriko wakati w’amadirisa g’okuyingira. Wuliriza leediyo okufuna okubalirira kw’okuzzaawo n’amawulire agakwata ku bifo eby’okusulamu.

Olunaku olwokusatu n’okusingawo¶

If the outage continues, plan around the long term. Think about whether it is safer to stay or move to a shelter, a relative or a hotel with power. Keep food and water safe, and keep warm or cool as the weather requires. Charge a power bank each time you have access to power, and keep one full for emergencies.

What to do when power returns¶

Restoration can be sudden, and it can come with surges. Take a few minutes to protect your equipment and reset your plan.

1. Switch off or unplug sensitive electronics before the power returns, if you can. Leave one light on to know when it is back.
2. Wait a few minutes after the power returns before you plug equipment back in, as surges are common.
3. Charge every phone, power bank and radio first. You may lose power again.
4. Check food in the fridge and freezer, and throw away items that were above safe temperatures for too long.
5. Reset clocks, routers and smoke alarms.
6. Replace used batteries and refill your fuel.
7. Note what worked and what did not, and improve your plan.
8. Thank the people who helped, and share any spare supplies.

Ensobi eza bulijjo ezirina okwewala¶

• Using the phone flashlight for hours. Use a proper torch.
• Leaving the phone on full brightness and Wi-Fi searching.
• Waiting until the battery is at 10 percent to save power.
• Idling the car for hours. It wastes fuel and risks carbon monoxide.
• Charging in a closed garage.
• Running a generator near a window or door.
• Back feeding a generator into the house.
• Calling when a text would do.
• Using the emergency number for non emergencies, such as asking when power will return.
• Sharing unverified rumours.
• Using damaged cables and power banks.
• Leaving candles burning unattended.

Ensonga enkulu z’olina okujjukira¶

• Switch to low power mode early, and use a torch instead of the phone flashlight.
• Texts use less power than calls, and calls use less than video.
• A power bank is the best home backup, so keep one or two full.
• Charge in a car only outdoors, with the engine on for short runs.
• Place generators at least 6 meters (20 feet) from the house, and never indoors.
• Community charging points open after long outages, so bring your own cable.
• Check your phone at set times, and keep it off or in airplane mode between them.
• Look after neighbours who may need help, and keep medical equipment powered first.

• Red Cross: obukuumi bw’amasannyalaze okuvaako n’okuteekateeka enteekateeka y’empuliziganya mu maka.

Always follow the advice of your own national and local authorities.

Ebibuuzo ebitera okubuuzibwa¶

How long can I make my phone battery last in a power outage?¶

With low power mode, a dim screen, Wi-Fi and background activity off, and checking the phone only a few times a day, many phones can last two to four days. Turning the phone off or using airplane mode between check in windows stretches it more. Results depend on the phone, its age and the temperature.

Kiba kirungi okucaajinga essimu yange mu mmotoka ng’amasannyalaze gavuddeko?¶

Yes, if the car is outdoors in the open, with the exhaust pipe clear. Never run the engine in a garage or enclosed space, because of carbon monoxide. Charge for short periods of 20 to 30 minutes with the engine on, and watch your fuel level.

Where can I charge my phone if the whole area has no power?¶

Look for community charging points at emergency shelters, libraries, community centres and relief trucks set up after major events. You can also ask a neighbour or a business in an area with power. Bring your own cable and adapter, and keep the use short so that others can charge too.

Should I use my phone as a flashlight during an outage?¶

Only briefly. A phone flashlight uses a lot of battery, and you need that power for calls, texts and alerts. Use a battery torch or a lantern for light, and keep a few spare batteries.
