3.0 Using the Sonim XPi
Devices are partially charged and ready to be activated. Be sure to charge it fully before use. By default, all sensors are enabled and the default interval for data upload is 15 minutes. For more information, refer to the Configure Device(s)
Using the Sonim XPi
section.
Figure 6. Sonim XPi device
The atmospheric pressure and temperature sensors need to access outside air. These sensors are placed near the enclosure edge of the Sonim XPi device with 2 holes between the Power Button and the USB Charging Port (See Figure 1). The holes allow outside air to enter. A mesh behind the holes restricts fluid ingress but allows airflow.
Note: Be careful not to cover the two small holes on the device between the Power Button
and USB Charging port. Doing so can affect sensor readings.

3.1 Power on the Device
There are 2 ways to power on the device:
• Press and release the Power Button
OR
• Connect the device to a power supply (5V) via the Micro USB connector
After approximately 6 seconds, the User LED flashes white 3 times to indicate the device is powering up. See Figure 6.
If the User LED flashes red 3 times, the device is already ON.
• If the device is connected to a power supply, the Power LED is green.
• If the device is running on battery, NO LED is illuminated.
Note: The device stays awake for 20 seconds after power-on or waking up.
3.2 Power off the Device
Press and hold the Power Button for 10 seconds, until the Red LED stops flashing. If the device was powered on by connecting to a power supply, it powers off when it is disconnected.
3.3 Charge the Device
The device can be charged with a 5 V/0.5 A power supply and Micro USB Cable, purchased separately. The Charge Status LED is RED until it is fully charged, at which time the LED turns off.
3.4 Wake Up the Device
The device goes to sleep between sensing intervals. You may want to wake the device to force a configuration update and, if there is buffered data, a sensor upload to M2X.
Sonim* XPi December 2017 User Guide Document Number: 336569 Rev 1.0 15
To wake the device, press and quickly release the Power Button. This wakes the device for 20 seconds.
3.5 Device Battery
