5. Keep your phone in a moist free place before charging.

A simple rain drop or water accident may cause your phone damaged, so the best way is to keep your phone safe in a moist free place. And more importantly, please check and ensure your phone is not wet before charging.

Nevertheless, if you find your phone getting wet, you had better not be in a hurry to charge for it. Just calm down and try the following steps:

Step 1. Remove the moisture on your phone immediately with a dry cloth or paper.     

Step 2. If your phone gets wet seriously, you need to turn it off and put it in uncooked rice to help absorb the moisture.

6. Take a spare phone.

Natural disasters may happen unfortunately such as typhoon, hurricane, heavy rains, water flooding, and your phone may not resist to those uncontrollable situations. Therefore, we recommend you to have a back up plan in case: get a second phone to have all your data and phone numbers saved. This will make your life easier if you don't want to experience the nightmare of sudden losing contact.
