1. Direct Damage to Mobile Phones from High-Temperature Environment
The temperature of far-infrared sauna rooms is usually between 38℃ and 45℃, and some high-end equipment can reach above 50℃. However, the ideal operating temperature of mobile phones is generally 0℃-35℃, and most of the maximum tolerance temperature does not exceed 40℃. When continuously in a high-temperature environment, mobile phones will face multiple risks:
-
Accelerated Attenuation of Battery Life: Mobile phone lithium batteries are extremely sensitive to temperature. High temperature will accelerate the chemical reaction rate inside the battery and increase the volatilization rate of the electrolyte, thereby causing the battery capacity to drop rapidly. Long-term and repeated use at high temperatures may cause a battery that could originally be used for 2 years to have a significant decrease in battery life within 1 year, and even cause safety hazards such as bulging and leakage.
-
Abnormal Performance of Components: The stability of components such as chips and capacitors on the mobile phone motherboard will decrease at high temperatures, which may cause problems such as screen flickering, touch failure, and crash. Some models will also trigger the "high-temperature protection mechanism" and automatically shut down to avoid hardware damage, affecting normal use during the sauna.
2. Secondary Risks Caused by Hot and Humid Environment
The far-infrared sauna room not only has a high temperature but also usually maintains a humidity of 40%-60%. Some sauna rooms are also equipped with atomization devices to increase humidity. The damage of hot and humid environment to mobile phones cannot be ignored:
4. Other Potential Problems and Safety Hazards
In addition to the damage to the mobile phone itself, taking it into a far-infrared sauna room may also bring other inconveniences and risks:
-
Affecting Sauna Experience and Effect: The core purpose of a sauna is to promote blood circulation and relax the body and mind through high temperature. Frequent phone checks will distract attention, making it impossible to fully enjoy the health benefits of the sauna, and may also cause cervical discomfort from looking down at the phone.
-
Risk of Scalding from Heat Conduction of Metal Components: Metal parts such as phone frames and camera decorative rings conduct heat quickly in high-temperature environments. If they stay in contact with the skin for a long time, they may cause local scalds, especially for people with sensitive skin.
-
Risk of Data Loss: High temperature and hot and humid environments may damage the phone's storage chip. If important data is not backed up in time, photos, files and other information may be permanently lost.
5. Reasonable Suggestion: Mobile Phones Should Be Stored "Outside the Room"
Considering the above risks comprehensively, it is not recommended to take mobile phones into far-infrared sauna rooms. Our brand's sauna room panels are equipped with Bluetooth intelligent controllers, which allow you to receive call notifications inside the sauna room. To balance mobile phone safety and sauna experience, the following measures can be taken:
-
Store the mobile phone in a locker outside the sauna room. Choose a locked locker to ensure safety, and avoid placing the phone with hard objects such as keys and coins to prevent screen scratches.
-
If you are worried about missing important calls, you can set the phone to "call forwarding" mode in advance, forward calls to the phone of the person accompanying you, or inform relatives and friends of the sauna time period to avoid contact in non-urgent situations.
-
After the sauna, do not take the phone to a low-temperature environment immediately to avoid condensation inside the phone due to excessive temperature difference. Place it at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before use.
In conclusion, there is an obvious conflict between the high-temperature and humid environment of far-infrared sauna rooms and the usage needs of mobile phones. To protect the safety of mobile phone equipment and ensure a good sauna experience, it is recommended to properly store the mobile phone outside the sauna room and let the body and mind fully engage in the health-preserving process.
