Model Answer
Two measures an individual should follow to take care of digital devices:
- Keep devices away from dust and heat — Avoid leaving devices in the sun and ensure the CPU fan is working to prevent overheating.
- Unplug the device once fully charged — Leaving a device plugged in after 100% charge can cause it to overheat and stop functioning properly.

Explanation
- This is a 2-mark question, so two clear, distinct points are sufficient — one per mark.
- The examiner looks for practical, relevant measures directly linked to device care.
- Avoid vague answers like "be careful." Use specific actions (unplug after charging, keep away from dust/heat).
- Either measure from the textbook is acceptable — you could also mention using an anti-virus or cleaning the keyboard regularly.
