When the mobile phone accidentally gets into the water, how to deal with it in the first place? Blowing hot air with a hair dryer or putting it in rice to help absorb moisture is actually ng. In order to allow users to respond in real time when the mobile phone is wet, Apple has also made a detailed explanation on the official website, in addition to providing the correct handling steps, but also asking users to avoid 3 common ng behaviors.
NG behavior that should be avoided when the phone is wet with water
Apple pointed out that there are 3 things not to do when the phone gets into water, and these things can cause damage to the phone.
1.Do not use an external heat source (such as a hair dryer) or compressed air (such as a high-pressure air gun) to dry your phone.
2.Do not insert foreign objects, such as cotton swabs or paper towels, into the connector in an attempt to dry your phone.
3.Don't put your phone in a rice bag, as doing so may damage your phone with smaller grains of rice and debris.
Proper handling steps when the phone is wet with water
The steps for dealing with wet phones provided by Apple's official website are as follows:
1.If your iPhone comes into contact with liquids, unplug all cables. Using accessories or charging in a wet state may damage your phone.
2.Quickly dry the exterior with a soft cloth suitable for wiping your phone, and with the Lightning or USB-C connector facing down, gently pat off any excess liquid with your hand.
3.Place the mobile phone device in a well-ventilated, dry environment to air dry. The unit can be positioned in front of the fan and blown directly onto connectors such as lightning or USB-C, helping to air dry faster.
4.Please wait at least 5 hours before trying to charge or connect the accessory, and iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR or later models with the Liquid Detection Alert feature are recommended to wait at least 30 minutes before trying to charge or connect the accessory.
Apple reminds you that if your phone is dry and still won't charge, you can try unplugging the cable from the adapter and unplugging the adapter from the wall (if possible), and then reconnecting the adapter and cable. If it still does not work properly, it may need to be sent for repair.
