*7 Dos and Don'ts When You Get Water in Your Smartphone.*

Got water in your smartphone? Visit a trusted technician for a quick fix. Before that though, administer some first aid yourself!

Don'ts
1. Charge it: the quicket way to complicate whatever damage the water will do on your device is to charge it. This will cause a short circuit which means bad news in layman language.

2. Dry in high heat: hairdryers, ovens, radiators and co are too hot and can damage fragile electronic components in the device. Avoid them like the plague.

3. Press the buttons: the buttons on your device should not be pressed when it isn't completely dry. It can push the water further into your phone.

If you do any of the above, you may be required to change the whole board, or sell your phone off as a scrap.

Dos
1. Switch it off: the first and best move. Submerged your phone in water? Power it off straight up, you don't want your phone packing up just yet.

2. Wriggle and wipe it clean: Shake it, Shake it! Do that vigorously to drain off water lurking inside the device. Remove all accessories attached and wipe the phone clean.

3. Expose to controlled heat: drying it out in the sun is a great way to go. You can as well stuff it in something warm that can help provide heat and extract water from the device. Maybe this is how the rice therapy came through.

4. Back up your data: once the device comes on, transfer all important data you can't bear to lose to another device or the cloud. You can always have access to them that way.

Know any other tip?

Just take it to a service centre for fixing. Meanwhile you really don't have to worry about the Oraimo FreePods Pro falling inside the water because it comes equipped with waterproof.
