JAKARTA Not all mobile devices have an IP68 certification code. This code shows that your device can be put in water, but is limited to a depth of 1.5 meters.

If your device is only safe from dust and water splashes, don't let your device fall into the water. If this has happened, immediately take some action so that your device components are not damaged.

Reporting from Makeuseof, never turn on a cellphone that has just been submerged. This could increase the risk of damage to the components. Another possible danger is a short circuit that gives electric shocks.

Let your phone stay off, then dry the outside of the device. If your phone battery can be removed, remove the battery from the compartment and place it on a flat surface. Tap the battery with the cloth until the water is absorbed.

Next, immediately issue a SIM card or SD Card and dry it with a cloth that is not hairy. If all the stages have been done, put the phone in a warm room or outdoors, but avoid direct sunlight.

Don't use a dryer to remove water from your device. The reason is, the device can damage the battery or component on the device. Let it dry by itself.

After it is dried, check back on your phone, such as a USB port and an audio jack port. Make sure the two are dry. Then, remove the remaining water from the speaker using a silica gel from the nearest store.

You just need to put the device in a container and soak it with a silica gel. Close the container with a meeting and wait for up to a day or two. If it's really dry, you can try turning on your phone.

Keep in mind that this method may not work because it depends on the device's resistance and how much water comes in. If your phone is still not on then you have to go to the service service service that manages your device.
