User Instructions for using DRYOUT to recover a wet tablet.

QUICK START GUIDE

quick guide.png

When your gear gets wet, acting quickly is critical. Carefully follow the steps below to optimize your results with DRYOUT.

​​​

1. Power Down

If the gear contains electronics: Turn the device off immediately after moisture exposure. Do not charge or operate the device while moisture may still be present. Avoid repeatedly powering the device on to check whether it works.

 

2. Prepare the Gear

Remove protective cases, covers, sleeves, batteries (when removable), or accessories that may trap moisture. If the gear was exposed to saltwater, chlorinated water, beverages, mud, chemicals, sweat, sunscreen, soap, or other contaminants, follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions whenever available before using DRYOUT. Wipe away any visible moisture using a clean, dry cloth.

​

3. Place the Gear into a DRYOUT-engineered Product​

Position the gear according to the product's instructions, if applicable. Do not overcrowd or stack multiple items unless specifically instructed. Fully close the product.

 

4. Allow Recovery Time

Leave the gear undisturbed for at least the recommended recovery time shown in the Recovery Time Table below.

​

Recovery time depends on:

Gear type

Moisture exposure

Ambient temperature

Relative humidity

Airflow

Contaminants

When in doubt, allow additional recovery time.

 

5. Reset DRYOUT Before Its Next Recovery Use

After DRYOUT has absorbed meaningful amounts of moisture: Remove all gear.

Open the product completely or remove the DRYOUT panel or insert whenever possible. Reset DRYOUT using one of the approved reset methods described later in these instructions.​Heat is used only to reset DRYOUT—not to dry wet gear.

​

Refer to Reset for more instructions.

"Resetting" is the process of releasing the trapped moisture to prepare DRYOUT for reuse.

Safety & Limitations

​

Always

  • Power off electronics immediately after moisture exposure.

  • Remove standing water before using DRYOUT.

  • Reset DRYOUT after heavy recovery use and before its next recovery use.

  • Follow the recommended recovery and reset times for your specific DRYOUT-engineered product.

  • Allow additional recovery or reset time when conditions are cold, humid, or heavily contaminated.

 

Never

  • Exceed 185°F (85°C) when resetting DRYOUT.

  • Attempt to reset DRYOUT with gear inside the product.

  • Use a microwave, open flame, grill, stovetop, heat gun, torch, or clothes dryer.

  • Charge or operate electronic devices until the recommended recovery time has been completed.

 

Best Practices

To maximize DRYOUT performance:

  • Remove protective cases, covers, or accessories that may trap moisture whenever practical.

  • Place gear into the DRYOUT-engineered product as intended and fully close it during recovery.

  • Fully open the DRYOUT-engineered product during resetting to maximize airflow.

  • When in doubt, allow additional recovery or reset time.

 

Product Limitations

DRYOUT is designed to help remove moisture from compatible gear. It is not intended to repair damage that has already occurred.

DRYOUT does not:

  • Make gear waterproof.

  • Prevent water from entering gear.

  • Repair damaged electronics or mechanical components.

  • Reverse corrosion that has already occurred.

  • Replace proper cleaning after exposure to saltwater, mud, chemicals, or other contaminants.

  • Replace manufacturer-recommended maintenance or inspection procedures.

 

Performance Factors

Recovery and reset times are affected by:

  • Ambient temperature

  • Relative humidity

  • Airflow

  • Moisture exposure severity

  • Contaminants

  • Proper use of the DRYOUT-engineered product

The recovery and reset times provided throughout these instructions are recommended minimums. Additional time may be required depending on environmental conditions and the severity of moisture exposure.
