Please read and understand the following safety guidelines before you use the phone. These guidelines provide details 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 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

Your Safety Guidelines

first. Do not speak into a 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 XP5300 FORCE 3G approved charging equipment to charge your phone and avoid damage to your phone.

Your Safety Guidelines

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

The Sonim XP5300 FORCE 3G 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 XP5300 FORCE 3G is dust-resistant, rugged and shock-resistant. However, it is not dust-proof or un-breakable if subjected to overwhelming impact. For best results and long product life, one should protect the Sonim XP5300 FORCE 3G from salt water, dust and strong impacts.

Make back-up copies of important information stored in your phone or maintain a written record.

Battery Performance

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. 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 a charger. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.

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 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

Your Safety Guidelines

battery.

Avoid Short Circuit

Do not short-circuit the battery. An accidental shortcircuit 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

Leaving 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 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°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 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 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

Your Safety Guidelines

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 XP5300 FORCE 3G 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 XP5300-E-R1 phone when tested by Sonim for use:

• By the ear is 0.791 W/kg W/kg (10g).

• Worn on the body is 1.59 W/kg (10 g) provided that

the phone 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.

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 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 XP5300-A-R1 phone when tested by Sonim for use:

• By the ear is 1.56 W/kg (1 g).

• Worn on the body is 0.967 W/kg (1 g).

For body-worn operation, this phone meets FCC RF

Your Safety Guidelines

exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a nonmetallic 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.
