Dropped your handset in the bath ??

Dropped your handset in the bath?? Is it
drenched in unexpected downpour??

Don't panic -- just follow these steps
1. Firstly, retrieve your handset from the drink
straight away. It will decrease the risk of
damage.

2. Resist the urge to check if it still works or
press any buttons, since putting pressure on the
keys could shift liquid further into the device.

3. In all cases, the best thing to do is
immediately pull out the battery, thus
minimizing power to the device that may cause
it to short circuit. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT..!!

4. Remove any peripherals and attachments on
your phone, such as cases.
5. Extract the SIM card and any SD cards it
carries, leaving ports or covers on your handset
open to aid ventilation.

6. Dry off everything with a towel, including the
exterior of your handset, being careful not to let
any water drain into openings on the phone.

7. Even when everything's dry, it's very likely
there's latent moisture within the device that
you'll want to get out before turning it on. The
most oft-reported fix for a sodden phone is to
bury the handset in a bowl of dry rice. You can
also use silica gel packs -- the kind used in
shoeboxes -- to greater effect.
Place your phone in an airtight container and
completely cover it with your choice of
desiccant. Leave the container for 24-48 hours
for the material to draw all the moisture out of
your handset.

8. When you're confident it's dried out, replace
the battery and try switching it on.
