to enable you to operate your phone safely and conform to any legal requirements regarding the use of cellular phones.

Do not to use the phone at a refuelling point. 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 device to high temperatures (in excess of 55°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 XP8 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.

Safety Guidelines

Ensure that only qualied personnel install or repair your phone.

The Sonim XP8 is water-proof and can be submerged to 2 metres for 30 minutes.

• Ensure to close the audio connector and SIM slot properly. This will prevent the deposit of

water droplets on the 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 XP8 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 XP8 from salt water, dust and strong impacts.

Safety Guidelines

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for Mobile phones

In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless

telephones compatible with hearing aids and cochlear

implants. Although analog wireless phones do not usually

cause interference with hearing aids or cochlear implants,

digital wireless phones sometimes do because of

electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone's antenna,

backlight, or other components. Your phone is compliant

with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2011). While

some wireless phones are used near some hearing

devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may

detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some

hearing devices are more immune than others to this

interference noise and phones also vary in the amount

of interference they generate. The wireless telephone

industry has developed a rating system for wireless

phones to assist hearing device users in nding phones

that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not

all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have

the rating on their box or a label located on the box. The

ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending

on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your

hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference,

you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully.

Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best

way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

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 phone retailer.

• M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC

requirements and are likely to generate less

interference to hearing devices than phones that

are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two

ratings.

• T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC

requirements and are likely to be more usable with

a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone

Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/

higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing

devices have telecoils in them.)

Your phone meets the M4/T4 level rating.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device

manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you

nd this rating. For more information about FCC Hearing

Aid Compatibility, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/

Safety Guidelines

Avoid High Temperatures

Leaving the device in hot or cold places, such as in a

closed car in summer or winter conditions, reduces the

capacity and lifetime of the battery. For the best results,

try to use the device 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.

Personal Medical Devices

Mobile 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.

Contact 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 Safety

Do 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 Calls

Mobile 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.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device meets the government’s requirements

for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed

and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits

for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by

the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.

Government.

The exposure standard for wireless device employs a

unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption

Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/

kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard

operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device

transmitting at its highest certied power level in all

tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined

at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR level

of the device while operating can be well below the

maximum value. This is because the device is designed

Federal Communication Commission Interference (FCC) Statement

to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only

the poser required to reach the network. In general, the

closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the

lower the power output.

The highest SAR value for the model device as reported

to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.37 W/

kg and when worn on the body, as described in this

user guide, is 1.43 W/kg (Body-worn measurements

differ among device models, depending upon available

accessories and FCC requirements.)

While there may be differences between the SAR levels

of various devices and at various positions, they all meet

the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for

this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated

as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

SAR information on this model device is on le with the

FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section

of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:

WYPPC4000.

For body worn operation, this device has been tested

and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with

an accessory that contains no metal and be positioned a

minimum of 1cm from the body. Use of other accessories

may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure

guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and

are not holding the device at the ear, position the handset

a minimum of 0cm from your body when the device is

switched on.
