                                                  (We apologise that only Chinese version is available)

                                                  綠齡人士家中所裝置的電器,不多不少都要配合他們日常的需要,例如為避免煮乾鍋中的食物,轉用會自動熄火的電磁爐;又或者將空調機改為汵暖氣,以保持穩定的室內氣溫。對於家中老人家,作為子女的你,為了令父母生活得更優質、輕鬆,或者需要添置一些家用電器,或者家用醫療器材,但要怎樣選購才找到適合他們使用,和不遭他們抗拒的呢?現先檢視一下,看看是否需要更換或添置一些家電,來應對未來十多二十年生活上及身體上的變化。

                                                  電動掛衣架

                                                  其實為年長者購買電器,要多花心思,先了解其身體狀況、生活習慣、喜好。以下這些要點有助你參考:
                                                  1. 家用電器的鬧鈴聲需夠響亮、電器上的使用指示字粒要大而清晰;
                                                  2. 重量要輕,能輕易提起,把手要合手型,能防滑最佳。
                                                  3. 有過熱警號,自動調節裝置,或過熱關機裝置。
                                                  4. 操作單一,或者不宜超過三個操作程序,錯誤容易修正。
                                                  5. 電制或開關按扭能伸手可及,不必高攀,最好有搖控操作,減少攀高或蹲下的機會。
                                                  6. 避免選購需輸入密碼才能操作的電器
                                                  7. 電器高度不宜超過使用者的身高
                                                  8. 裝卸不費力,容易清理。
                                                  9. 電器體積容易收藏,或放置不佔太多空間,免得轉季後,因為不能收納而堆積房間或客廳,防礙活動空間。
                                                   
                                                  購置電器用品,除了考慮用者需要,電器本身的性能,對耗電量及家居電力裝置的負荷需求,都要要有所了解,保養應用不宜,會引起意外,報紙上不時也有相關報導。以下是一些重要的貼士和需要注意的地方:
                                                  • 注意電器所使用的電壓及頻率是否適合用於本港的供電系統。
                                                  • 家中的電力裝置能否配合新添置電器的負荷需求。
                                                  • 在購買電器前應參考該類產品的特性及功能等資料。
                                                  • 注意有關使用該電器應採取的安全措施。
                                                  • 在購買電器前應參考有關該電器的能源效益資料。
                                                   
                                                  所以我們都必須多了解,多作比較,到底每一種電器購買時要注意那些方面。當購置了新的電器產品,你也需要給予耐性和時間,讓父母掌握使用方法。有時遇到他的的拒絕,作為子女的,不要氣餒,這是因為他們體能上的變化,而較安於現時的生活模式,對於新事物,要較長時間去掌握。我們要給予耐性,也要花心思幫助他們熟習操作,例如在按扭上貼上指示圖案、自己簡明的操作要點、甚至可以製作錄像,示範操作方法,存入手提電話內。
