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.

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.

Ensure that only qualied personnel install

or repair your phone.

Do not to use the phone at a refueling 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 ight

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; nd a safe place to stop rst. 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.

The Sonim XP8800 is water-proof and can be submerged to 2 metres for 30 minutes.

• 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 XP8800 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 XP8800 from salt water, dust and strong impacts.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

Use only Sonim XP8800 approved charging equipment to charge your phone and avoid damage to your phone.

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/

dro.

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.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

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.

WARNING

It is not allowed to connect any external devices to all ports/interface (USB, Top x-pand and side connector) in Hazardous area.
