Have your phone splashed or wet due to rain? Here are the steps to save the phone that was soaked through them.

The first thing to do is do not panic. If you do not panic and can control the emotions, it will be able to take steps that are more useful. Immediately remove the phone from the zone ‘dangerous’ and do the first aid measures.

Remove the battery is the first action to do when your phone splashed or wet because of rain. This step must be taken quickly to save the circuits in such devices from being damaged exposed to water. Not to forget, off and all the accessories that are attached to phones, such as covers and key chains.

The next step is drying the phone. There are many ways to dry the wet mobile. The recommended way is to simply wipe with a towel or tissue. If not, use a handkerchief can also be an option. This must be done carefully, not too much shake and move the mobile phone. Also, keep small particles from towels or material used to wipe so as not to lag on the inside of the phone.

You can also use the vacuum cleaner to remove the remnants of water in your mobile device. On the other hand, do not try using a hair dryer. Remember, both the appliance (vacuum cleaner and hair dryer) have different ways of working. Vacuum operated by sucking, while a hair dryer instead work with the wind spout. Well, this is the nature of the blow dryer that has the potential to push the remnants of water that is on the phone to fall further into the interior of the device.

Another way is to save a wet cell phone is on something that can absorb water. The most popular method is to place it in a container that contains the rice. Rice has the properties to absorb moisture and apply to all kinds of rice. It takes time to do this way, or would be better if the phone is ‘buried’ it all night.
