GETTING STARTED
How to use the Touchscreen
Familiarize yourself with the following finger actions for navigating the phone's touchscreen features.
| HOME SCREEN | This is the screen displayed when the phone is in standby mode. |
| TOUCH AND HOLD | Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. |
| DRAG | Touch and hold an item for a moment, and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. |
| SWIPE OR SLIDE | Quickly move your finger across the screen's surface, without pausing when you first touch. For example, you can slide a home screen left or right to view the other home screens. |
| DOUBLE TAP | Tap quickly twice on a web page, map, or other screens to zoom. |
| PINCH | In some applications, you can zoom in and out by placing two fingers on the screen simultaneously and pinching them together or spreading them apart. |
Charging the Battery
The battery delivered with your mobile phone is not fully charged. We recommend fully charging your phone before first use.
Optimal Charging Temperature Guidelines
For best battery performance and longevity, charge your smartphone within these temperature ranges:
- Acceptable charging temperature: 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F). • Optimal charging temperature: 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F).
When battery temperature rises above 45°C (113°F), two negative effects occur:
- Battery lifespan is reduced.
- Charging speed automatically slows down to protect the battery (fast charging naturally produces more heat, pushing your device into higher temperatures).
A USB fast-charging wall charger is required. For the fastest charging speed, the charger should be capable of delivering 18 Watts*. (A minimum of 10 Watts (5V DC and 2A) is required, but this will result in slower charging.)

NOTE: Only the power supplies with outputs that meet the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) requirements² can be used for charging. The phone will only allow a maximum input voltage of 9V DC and 2A.

*NOTE: Using a PD (Power Delivery) charger with more than 18 Watts of power is acceptable, but does not provide additional benefits.

NOTE: If the battery is fully discharged, the charging icon may take several minutes to appear after the charger is connected.
- Insert the charger
Insert the charger plug into a power outlet
- Connect to the phone
The charging port is located at the bottom of the phone and is covered by the rubber charging port cap.
i. Open the charging port cap. ii. Insert the charging connector.

Charging Animation/Icon
- If the battery is charged when the phone is switched off, a battery charging animation with the current battery level is displayed.
- After the battery is fully charged, the charging animation stops, and the battery level displays 100%.
- Please disconnect the charger from the phone.
- If the battery is charged while the phone is switched on, the battery icon on the status bar shows the lightning bolt, indicating that the battery is being charged.
- After the battery is fully charged, the display shows “100%” next to the battery.
- Please disconnect the charger from the phone. Once unplugged, the battery icon will return to a solid image.



Inserting SIM and SD Storage Cards
The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card associates your network services (for example, phone number, data services, etc.) with your phone. The Sonim XP Pro E device comes with a hybrid tray that supports ( 4th Form Factor) 4FF SIM cards and Memory card trays.
Insert a SIM card
Your Sonim XP Pro E does not come with a pre-installed SIM card. To install/replace a SIM card, first, power down the phone:

NOTE: The XP Pro E has a dual-sided 4FF SIM tray. Insert your nano-sized SIM card into the SIM tray. If applicable, a second SIM card can be placed on the underside of the tray.

Insert a MicroSD card
To access the MicroSD card slot, use your Sonim SIM tool to pull out the SIM/MicroSD card tray. Notice that with the phone facing up, the SIM primary tray is located on the top-facing side, and the underside tray can accept either a MicroSD card, as illustrated below, or a second SIM card (turned 90° sideways).
- Pull out SIM tray: Insert the Sonim SIM tool into the SIM tray hole to pop out the tray.
- Place the MicroSD on the tray: Insert the MicroSD card on the tray with the gold contacts facing up (opposite side of the SIM tray).

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
| Test Position | Test value | Test distance | Limit |
| Head | 1.552 W/kg | 0 mm | 2.0 W/kg |
| Body | 1.571 W/kg | 5 mm | 2.0 W/kg |
| Limb | 3.232 W/kg | 00 mm | 4.0 W/kg |
WIFI warning
The device is restricted to indoor use only when operating in the 5250 to 5350 MHz, 5945 to 6425MHz (WIFI 6E LPI) frequency range.
