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 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 (131°F).
Adhere to road safety laws. Do not hold/
use a phone while you are driving; you
must nd a safe place to stop rst. Use
a 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 XP5800 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 qualied personnel install
or repair your phone.
The Sonim XP5800 is water-proof and can
be submerged to 2 meters for 30 minutes.
Ensure that the audio connector and the
SIM slot are properly closed. This will
prevent the deposit of water droplets
on the connectors, when the phone is
immersed in water.
Water droplets condense under the display
cover if the phone is immersed in water
with signicant drop in temperature.
This does not indicate water leakage.
The droplets will disappear at room
temperature.
The Sonim XP5800 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 XP5800 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 an overly hot or cold battery, even
when fully charged, may temporarily not function. 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 a 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, other areas with a 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/interfaces (USB, XPand and
SecureAudio Connector) in Hazardous areas.
