Safety Guidelines
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 device to high temperatures (in excess of 55°C).
8
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 XP7700 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 qualified personnel install or repair your phone.
The Sonim XP7700 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 significant drop in temperature. This does not indicate water leakage. The droplets will disappear at room temperature.
The Sonim XP7700 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 XP7700 from salt water, dust and strong impacts.

Safety Guidelines
SAR Information
The Sonim XP7700 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 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.
SAR Data Information for residents in the United States and Canada
The limit recommended by ICNIRP is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.
The highest SAR value for the Sonim XP7700 phones when tested by Sonim for use:
•By the ear is 0.64 W/1g.
•Worn on the body is 0.68 W/1g provided that the phone is used with a non-metallic accessory with
the handset at least 1cm from the body, or with the original Sonim accessory intended for this phone and worn on the body.
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 work well with their hearing aid devices. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described
in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19:20011.
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 10 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 only picks 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.
Safety Guidelines
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 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.
Sonim XP7700 have been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and complies with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) requirements. These devices are rated M4/T4.
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 flammable atmosphere 11 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.
