Thank you for your choosing Crosscall and for buying this smartphone.
The user guide is here to help you get to grips with your new device.
THE BEST BITS OF THE CORE-X3
Rated IP68, the CORE-X3 accompanies you during all your activities, whether at sea (it
can withstand immersion over 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 metres), or in the mountains
in heavy rain (it always stays fully functional thanks to its screen equipped with Wet
Touch technology).
The Core-X3 is the first Crosscall smartphone to have Full TPU protection all around its
casing, giving it enhanced shock absorption. Polycarbonate edging on the sides of the
screen and the camera provide optimal protection, and its Gorilla® Glass 3 screen means
the screen on the Core-X3 can withstand being dropped (Drop Test 2 metres on 6 sides)
and is scratch-resistant (Scratch Test in extreme conditions of use).
Its 3500 mAh battery means the phone has a battery life of several days, so you can
always rely on your mobile. Even during intensive use (GPS, photos, etc.), you can enjoy
your outdoor activities for longer without worrying about the battery running out.
Thanks to its X-LINK magnetic connector, it can be charged wirelessly, without the need
for any cables.

ACCESSORIES
The X-BLOCKER slots are directly integrated into the phone's design so it can connect
with the X-LINK accessory ecosystem (a magnetic connector used to attach the CORE-X3
to various accessories, some of which even provide charging or data transfer). The
X-BLOCKER is a unique feature that ensures your smartphone is securely attached, to
prevent it dropping or falling during use, even on the most rugged terrain (quad bike,
crosscycle, skiing, etc.). All these accessories open the way to a raft of new options!
THE CORE-X3 IS MIL-STD-810G CERTIFIED*
The MIL-STD-810G military standard was created by the US army to reproduce the
conditions of electronic devices used in the field under extreme conditions. The CORE-X3
has been laboratory tested to withstand hostile and demanding outdoor environments.
It underwent the following 12 tests: resistance to low pressure (altitude of over 4000m),
extreme high and low temperatures (from -40°C/-40°F up to 60°C/140°F), temperature
shock, icing and freezing rain, solar radiation (UV), rain, salt fog, fluid contamination
(2-propanol), vibration, shock and high acceleration. The CORE-X3 is suitable for all the
most demanding situations: parachute jumps, paragliding, aviation, extreme kayaking,
cycling, quad biking, motorbike riding, 4x4, and jet skiing, as well as high temperatures,
extreme cold and heavy rain. It is also suitable for use in labs, as well as in the building
trade.
