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

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 XP5560 BOLT IS (ECOM Ex-Handy 08 or Ex-HSPA 08) 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

10

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

The Sonim XP5560 BOLT IS (ECOM Ex-Handy 08 or Ex-HSPA 08) is water-proof and can be
submerged to 2 metres for 1 hour.

• 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

Your Safety Guidelines

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 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battery has been replaced by an incorrect type.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 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
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 -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 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.

Your Safety Guidelines

12

Your Safety Guidelines

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.

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 XP5560 BOLT IS (ECOM Ex-Handy 08 or
Ex-HSPA 08) 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 XP5560 BOLT IS
(Ex-Handy 08 .0 –E, Ex-Handy 08 .1 –E, Ex-Handy 08 .2
–E, Ex-Handy 08 .3 –E, Ex-Handy 08 .4 –E, and the Ex­Handy 08 .5 –E, Ex-HSPA 08 .0 –E, Ex-HSPA 08 .1 –E,
Ex-HSPA 08 .2 –E, Ex-HSPA 08 .3 –E, Ex-HSPA 08 .4
–E, and the Ex-HSPA 08 .5 –E ) phones when tested by
Sonim for use:

• By the ear is 0.908 W/kg (10g).

• Worn on the body is 0.907 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

Your Safety Guidelines

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 XP5560 BOLT IS
(Ex-Handy 08 .0 –A, Ex-Handy 08 .1 –A, Ex-Handy 08 .2
–A, Ex-Handy 08 .3 –A, Ex-Handy 08 .4 –A, Ex-Handy
08 .5 –A, Ex-Handy 08 .4 ATT, Ex-Handy 08 .5 ATT, Ex­HSPA 08 .0 –A, Ex-HSPA 08 .1 –A, Ex-HSPA 08 .2 –A,
Ex-HSPA 08 .3 –A, Ex-HSPA 08 .4 –A, Ex-HSPA 08 .5 –A)
phones when tested by Sonim for use:

• By the ear is 1.12 W/kg (1 g).

• Worn on the body is 1.10 W/kg (1 g).

For body-worn operation, this phone meets FCC RF
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.

The product complies with the Canada portable RF
exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment
and are safe for intended operation as described in
this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be
achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible
from the user body or set the device to lower output
power if such function is available.
