SAR Information
The Sonim XP6 IS /ECOM EX-HANDY 09 has been
certified in compliance with the Government’s
requirements for exposure to Radio Waves.
When communicating over the wireless network, the
mobile phone emits via the radio frequency waves low
levels of radio energy. The Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR, is the amount of RF energy absorbed by the body
while using the phone and is expressed in watts/kilogram
(W/kg).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed
by scientific organizations, for example, ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc.). These guidelines establish
permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general
population.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all used frequency bands.
SAR Data Information for residents in the United
States and Canada
The limit recommended by ICNIRP is 1.6 W/kg averaged
over one (1) gram of tissue.
The highest SAR value for the Sonim XP6 IS /ECOM EX-
HANDY 09 phones when tested by Sonim for use:
•
By the ear is 0.74 W/1g.
•
Worn on the body is 1.07 W/1g provided that the
phone is used with a non-metallic accessory with
the handset at least 1 cm from the body, or with the
original Sonim accessory intended for this phone
and worn on the body.
SAR Data Information for residents in countries that
have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP). For example, European Union,
Japan, Brazil and New Zealand.
A minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm must be
maintained between the user’s body and the device,
including the antenna during body-worn operation to
comply with the RF exposure requirements in Europe.
The limit recommended by ICNIRP is 2 W/kg averaged
over ten (10) gram of tissue.
The highest SAR value for the Sonim XP6 IS / ECOM Ex-
Handy 09 phone when tested by Sonim for use:
•
By the ear is 0.525 W/kg (10 g).
•
Worn on the body is 0.327 W/kg (10 g).
Avoid Short Circuit
Do not short-circuit the battery. An accidental short-
circuit can occur when a metallic object such as a coin,
clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+)
and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look
like metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for
example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket
or purse. A short-circuit at the terminals may damage the
battery or the connecting object.
Avoid High Temperatures
Leaving the battery 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 keep the battery between -20°C and +55°C (-4°F
