1. Take the phone out of the water
as quickly as possible.
2. Do not attempt to switch it on
as this may cause further damage.
3. Remove the battery as quickly
as you can, also remove the
memory and sim cards.
4. If dropped in fresh water dry it
off with a towel. If dropped in salt
water rinse it thoroughly with
fresh water. I know it sounds
crazy getting it wet again but salt
can cause a lot of internal damage
such as corrosion. Again dry with
a towel. You may also want to
rinse it if you dropped it in a toilet.
5. Place the phone, battery and it's
wet accessories in a plastic
container (like a lunch box) and
completely cover it with uncooked
rice, use plenty of it. Again this
sounds crazy but rice has
desiccating properties that help
draw the water out of the phone.
Do not place a lid on the container.
6. Place the container somewhere
very warm and dry for at least 3
days. An airing cupboard is often
the ideal place.
7. Do not use a hair dryer directly
on the phone to speed up the
process. Too much heat can cause
even more damage.
