Consider as an analogy drenching something electronic. If it's not powered when you did it and dries out before you turn it back on, usually not a problem.
If it is on when you soak it, it could be 3 or 4. The electronics usually (though not always) damages itself when shorting out, how explosively it does so depending on the power levels involved.
I would tend similarly: 1 if you don't try to use it, and 1, 3, or 4 if you try to use it in a dead zone, depending on the exact fluff of the device. I probably will tend towards 4 though.
