Don’t Give Up On Your Wet Cell Phone

Use the following tips

to help salvage your

phone. In many

cases, you can get

your device working

again if you follow a

few simple steps.

Remove Your Phone From the Water

• Your first step should be to remove the device from the water.

• Wipe away as much water from your phone as possible. Remove the battery and sim card, and dry behind these areas.

• Even if the phone still appears to be working, power it off.

Put the Phone in Rice

Putting the phone in a bag of uncooked rice can help to wick moisture out of the phone. Be sure to reposition the phone every half-hour or so to allow water to escape the phone. Crisped rice cereal can also work in place of uncooked rice.

Grab Some Absorbent Towels• After you remove your

phone from the bag of rice, place it on an absorbent towel.

• This will help to draw any remaining water out of the device.
