disposed as unsorted waste but must be taken to separate collection at their
end-of-life.
Only qualified personnel should install or repair your phone.
Precautions to Use the Battery
A 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. You can charge the battery several 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 a charger. If left unused, a fully
charged battery will lose its charge over time.
Precautions for Safe Usage
Ensure to follow the following precautions related to battery usage.
1. Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.
2. Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery,
immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.
3. Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per
this standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
4. Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery
terminals.
General Information 9
5. Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the system per
this standard, IEEE-Std-1725.
6. Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
7. Battery usage by children should be supervised.
8. Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, especially on a
hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
9. Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.
10. The phone shall only be connected to CTIA certified adapters and products that bear the
USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
Battery Replacement
When 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 first 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.
Note: Sonim XP3410 IS STRIKE battery is provided by ECOM. For replacement information
refer to the ECOM site - http://www.ecom-ex.com/.
Avoid Short Circuit
Do 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 Temperatures
If you leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter
conditions, it will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. For 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 Disposal
Do not dispose the batteries in a fire 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.
General Information 10
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
airplanes. 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 flammable 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.
SAR Information
The Sonim XP STRIKE IS
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 Specific 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 scientific 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 certified power level in all used frequency bands.
General Information 11
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 averaged 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 certified
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 SONXP3410 (FCC model number: XP3410 IS) phone when
tested by Sonim for use:
By the head is 1.45 W/kg (1 g).
Worn on the body is: 1.05 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. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Rating
The FCC has created a rating system for cellular phones regarding their HAC-related
performance. This rating helps consumers with hearing disabilities to find 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) C63.19:2007.
aids operating
Settings 47
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
amplification 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 defines the final 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 find phones that are compatible with their hearing
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.
SONXP3410 (FCC model number: XP3410 IS) has been tested for hearing aid device
compatibility and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements.
SONXP3410 (FCC model number: XP3410 IS) is rated M4/T4.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Settings
Follow the instructions below to enable coupling with a hearing aid device operating in
telecoil/microphone mode.
Select Menu (left selection key) > Settings > Phone settings > Hearing aid > ON.
Once HAC is enabled, the HAC symbol is displayed in the indicator bar. Select OFF to disable
this feature.
Note: While using the mobile phone for voice calls with hearing aid, slightly adjust the position
of the phone against the ear to reduce the interference and to give better voice quality.

when your Sonim Product is repaired or replaced. Sonim does not take any responsibility for
any lost information of any kind and will not reimburse you for any such loss.

Phone Care
The Sonim XP STRIKE IS is designated class IP68 for dust and water protection, according to
the IEC Ingress Protection (IP) Standard 60529. This means that the phone is dust protected
and can be submerged into 2m deep water for up to 30 minutes. Immersion in deeper water can
damage it and must be avoided.
The Sonim XP STRIKE IS is solid and built for heavy duty use. Its design protects against
disassembly or mechanical damage when subjected to forces equal to free fall from the height
of 2 meters. Subjecting the phone to stronger impact and forces can damage it and must be
avoided.
Conditions
1. The warranty is valid only if the product has been registered within 30 days of date of
purchase, and Sonim reserves the right to refuse warranty service otherwise.
2. Should the phone not be registered, the warranty is valid only if the original proof of
purchase issued to the original purchaser by a Sonim authorized dealer, specifying the
date of purchase and serial number for this Product, is presented with the Product to be
repaired or replaced. Sonim reserves the right to refuse warranty service if this
information has been removed or changed after the original purchase of the Product
from the dealer.
3. If Sonim repairs or replaces the Product, the repaired or replaced Product shall be
warranted for the remaining time of the original warranty period or for ninety (90) days
from the date of repair, whichever is longer. Repair or replacement may involve the use
of functionally equivalent reconditioned units. Replaced parts or components will
become the property of Sonim.
4. This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product due to normal wear and tear, or
due to misuse or abuse, including but not limited to use in other than the normal and
customary manner, in accordance with the Sonim instructions for use and maintenance
of the Product. Nor does this warranty cover any failure of the Product due to software or
hardware modification or adjustment, acts of God or damage resulting from liquid
interacting with the product beyond what is described as acceptable in the user guide for
End User License Agreement 91
the product. A rechargeable battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times.
However, it will eventually wear out - this is not a defect. When the talk-time or standby
time is noticeably shorter, it is time to replace your battery. Sonim recommends that you
use only batteries and chargers approved by Sonim. Minor variations in display
brightness and color may occur between phones. There may be tiny bright or dark dots
on the display. These are called defective pixels and occur when individual dots have
malfunctioned and cannot be adjusted. Several defective pixels are deemed acceptable.
5. This warranty does not cover Product failures caused by installations, modifications, or
repair or opening of the Product performed by a non-Sonim authorized person.
Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the warranty.
6. The warranty does not cover Product failures which have been caused by use of
accessories or other peripheral devices which are not Sonim branded original
accessories intended for use with the Product.
7. The 3 year warranty does not cover battery, accessories or any 3rd party SW
applications, which are instead covered to the extent provided by the original vendor
guarantee for these products.
8. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OTHER
THAN THIS PRINTED LIMITED WARRANTY. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED
TO THE DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SONIM
OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST
PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSS; TO THE FULL EXTENT THOSE DAMAGES CAN
BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW. DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT
SHALL SONIM OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSS; TO THE FULL EXTENT
THOSE DAMAGES CAN BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW.
