Observe restrictions when using radio equipment at fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.Electrical interference may obstruct the use of your phone. Observe restrictions in hospitals and near medical equipment.Switch off your cellular phone when in an aircraft. Wireless phones can cause interference or danger to an aircraft. In an aircraft, the phone can be used in flight mode.Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (in excess of 60°C).Adhere to road safety laws. Do not hold/use a phone while you are driving; find a safe place to stop first. Use hands-free microphone while you are driving.Avoid using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids. Use only Sonim XP1520 approved charging equipment to charge your phone and avoid damage to your phone.The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin indicates that this product, and any enhancements marked with this symbol, can not be disposed as unsorted waste but must be taken to separate collection at their end-of-life.Your Safety Guidelines
10Ensure that only qualied personnel install or repair your phone.The Sonim XP1520 is water-proof and can be submerged to 2 metres for 30 minutes.• Ensure to properly close the rubber cover of the charging connector and audio connector, to avoid deposits of water drops on these connectors, when the phone is immersed in water.• Water droplets may condense under the display cover if the phone is immersed in water with signicant drop in temperature. This does not indicate water leakage. The droplets will disappear at room temperature.The Sonim XP1520 is dust-resistant, rugged and shock-resistant. However, it is not dust-proof or unbreakable if subjected to overwhelming impact. For best results and long product life, one should protect the Sonim XP1520 from salt water, dust and strong impacts.Make back-up copies of important information stored in your phone or maintain a written record, using Sonim PC-tools application.Your Safety Guidelines
11Battery PerformanceA rechargeable battery powers your device. Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be made. The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after three to four complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Ensure that you do not leave the fully charged battery connected to the charger for longer time. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.There is a risk of explosion while charging if the battery has been replaced by an incorrect type.Battery ReplacementWhen the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, replace the battery with an original Sonim battery. If a replacement battery is being used for the rst time or if the battery has not been used for a prolonged period, it may be necessary to connect the charger and then disconnect and reconnect it to begin charging the battery.Avoid Short CircuitDo not short-circuit the battery. An accidental short-circuit can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. A short-circuit at the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.Avoid High TemperaturesLeaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. For the best results, try to keep the battery between -20°C and +55°C (-4°F and 131°F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.Battery DisposalDo not dispose off batteries in a re as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations and recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste. Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or batteries. In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. In the event of leak or a hazard seek medical help immediately.Personal Medical DevicesMobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker, for example in your breast pocket. When using the mobile phone, place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the mobile phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off your mobile phone. Your Safety Guidelines
12Your Safety GuidelinesContact your cardiologist for more information. For other medical devices, consult your physician and the manufacturer of the device. Comply with instructions to switch off the device or deactivate the RF transmitter when required, especially when posted in hospitals and aeroplanes. Equipment used in these places may be sensitive to radio waves emitted from the device and adversely affect their operation. Also, observe restrictions at gas stations or other areas with ammable atmosphere or when close to electro-explosive devices.Child SafetyDo not allow children to play with your mobile phone or its accessories. Keep it out of their reach. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the mobile phone or accessories. Your mobile phone and its accessories may contain small parts, which could be detached and create a choking hazard.Emergency CallsMobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas, on all cellular networks, or when certain network services and/or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider.SAR InformationThe Sonim XP1520 has been certified in compliance with the Government’s requirements for exposure to Radio Waves.When communicating over the wireless network, the mobile phone emits via the radio frequency waves low levels of radio energy. The Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR, is the amount of RF energy absorbed by the body while using the phone and is expressed in watts/kilogram (W/kg).Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientic organizations, for example, ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.). These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population.Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certied power level in all used frequency bands.SAR Data Information for residents in countries that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). For example, European Union, Japan, Brazil and New Zealand.The limit recommended by ICNIRP is 2 W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for the Sonim XP1520-E-R2 phone when tested by Sonim for use:• By the ear is 0.845 W/kg (10 g).• Worn on the body is 1.220 W/kg (10 g).SAR Data Information for residents in the United States and Canada.In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram
13Your Safety Guidelinesaveraged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the US, it must be tested and certied by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (that is, by the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.The highest SAR value for the Sonim XP1520-A-R1 phone when tested by Sonim for use:• By the ear is 1.210 W/kg (1 g).• Worn on the body is 1.110 W/kg (1 g).For body-worn operation, this phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 1.5 cm from the body, or with the original Sonim accessory intended for this phone and worn on the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

This rating helps consumers with hearing disabilities to nd phones that will work well with their hearing aid devices. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
35Managing Network SettingsC63.19:2007. ANSI C63.19 contains two rating standards: an “M” rating from 1 to 4 for hearing aids operating in microphone mode, and a “T” rating from 1 to 4 for hearing aids operating in telecoil mode.M-Rating stands for Microphone rating and indicates the amount of reduction of RF interference between the telephone and the hearing aid in acoustic coupling mode (also called microphone mode). Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and generate less interference to hearing devices set in microphone mode.T-Rating stands for Telecoil rating and represents inductive coupling with hearing aids that are operating in telecoil mode. A telecoil is a small piece of tightly wrapped wire, built into some hearing aids. While the microphone of a hearing aid picks up all sounds, the telecoil will only pick up an electromagnetic signal from the telephone. Thus, users of telecoil-equipped hearing aids are able to communicate over the telephone without the amplication of unwanted background noise.Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and generate less interference to hearing devices set in telecoil mode. A combination of M-rating and T-rating denes the nal HAC rating and is a deciding factor in selecting cellular phones for people with hearing problems. A HAC compliant phone could be rated: • M3/T3 • M3/T4• M4/T3• M4/T4 These ratings assist hearing device users to nd phones that are compatible with their hearing devices. Ratings are shown on the phone’s box or label. The ratings are not guaranteed for suitability. The results vary depending on the individual’s hearing loss and the immunity characteristics of the used hearing device, i.e. its resistance to interference. The best way to evaluate the suitability of the phone is to try it with the intended hearing aid device.This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or the manufacturer.Sonim XP1520-A-R1 has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements. Sonim XP1520-A-R1 is rated M3/T4.HAC Settings To enable coupling with a hearing aid device operating in telecoil mode, select Menu > Settings > Phone Settings > Hearing Aid > On.
