SAFETY GUIDELINES
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 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.
Use only Sonim XP3800 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,
cannot 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.
The Sonim XP3800 device is waterproof
and can be submerged to 2 meters for 30
minutes.
Water droplets may condense under the
display cover if the phone is immersed
in water with a signicant drop in
temperature. This does not indicate
water leakage and the droplets will
disappear when the display reaches room
temperature.
The Sonim XP3800 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 XP3800 from salt water, dust
and strong impacts.
6
SAFETY GUIDELINES / BATTERY USAGE
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 airplanes. 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
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 permissible to connect any external
devices to all ports/interface (USB and
SecureAudio Connector) in Hazardous area.

shows the animation indicating
that the battery is being charged.
If the battery is being charged
while the phone is switched

RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless device employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/
kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
device transmitting at its highest certied power level
in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certied power level, the
actual SAR level of the device while operating can
be well below the maximum value. This is because
the device is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model device XP3800
(Type number PC2223) as reported to the FCC:
When tested for use at the ear is 1.18 W/kg, and
When worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.97 W/kg (Body-worn measurements
differ among device models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements.).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various devices and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this model device is on le with the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section
of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
WYPPC2223.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested
and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use
with an accessory that contains no metal and be
positioned a minimum of 1cm from the body. Use of
other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC
RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the device at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 0 cm from your
body when the device is switched on.
FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION
INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference, and
This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This device has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

REGULATORY INFORMATION - USA MARKET
FCC CAUTION
Any Changes or modications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user‘s authority to operate the
equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
The country code selection is for non-US model
only and is not available to all US model. Per FCC
regulation, all Wi-Fi product marketed in US must
xed to US operation channels only.
Operations in the 5.15-5.25GHz band are restricted to
indoor usage only.
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 nd phones
that work well with their hearing aid devices. The HAC
rating and measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI C63.19-2011)
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
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 tel coil
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 amplication of unwanted background noise.
Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and generate
less interference to hearing devices set in telecoil mode. A
combination of M-rating and T-rating denes the nal 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
Its resistance to interference. The best way to evaluate
the suitability of the phone is to try it with the intended
hearing aid device.
The model XP3800 have been tested for hearing aid
device compatibility and complies with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) requirements.
These devices are rated M3/T4.
