Drying Procedures
Please see the proper procedures below.
NOTE:
For the Procedures to be followed in cleaning and disinfecting the phone, please visit
https://kyoceramobile.com/support/phone/cleaning_guide/.
Drying Your Phone
CAUTION!
If your phone has been submerged in water, for example to use the camera in
Underwater mode, rinse all surfaces of the phone thoroughly with clean, fresh
water before drying.
1. Wipe down all outside surfaces of your phone with a clean lint-free cloth.
2. Tap the phone firmly, but gently on a clean dry cloth to remove moisture from the
earpiece, microphone, and USB port. Repeat tapping each area about 20
times.
3. After removing all the water, let the phone dry completely at room temperature.
CAUTION!
Excessive heat may damage your phone; never use a hair dryer, an oven, or any
other appliance to dry out your phone.
NOTE:
If your phone still retains some moisture, audio quality and speaker performance may
be affected. Dry your phone completely before using it again.
