Sonim BLE Connect

NOTE: This application does not have its own Launcher icon. Please access it via Sonim SCOUT. You can ensure SCOUT is updated on your device here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonim.scout. Sonim created this application to allow for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) accessories to be compatible with Sonim phones. This application simply allows you to pair compatible BLE accessories with your Sonim phone. It works similarly to standard Bluetooth products that must be paired. The application has a user-friendly interface to pair compatible BLE accessories with the Sonim phone, allowing other applications to receive Push-to-Talk (PTT) button intents if registered for PTT broadcasts. This application currently allows for Sonim XP8 compatibility with Aina BT RSM, Aina Smart Button, Klein Electronics (BLU-PTT) and PRYME (PRYMEBLU) Button Controls. Sonim compatible BLE and other accessories are available at: http://store.sonimtech.com. Example Use Case: Combining the Klein or PRYME BLE Button Control and Sonim’s In-vehicle Holder & Mount, provides an affordable, handsfree compliant in-vehicle Solution. A user may control voice and PTT answer/end functions with the BLE Button Control, leveraging the ultra-loud speaker on Sonim phones, without touching the phone in-vehicle! Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): -Question: Can the application be loaded to Sonim XP5s? Answer: Yes, the application may be downloaded via Sonim’s App Updater for the XP5s.

Answer: No, the application is for Sonim XP5, XP5s, XP7 and XP8 phones only. -Question: Is it possible for other BLE accessories to be compatible with Sonim XP5, XP5s, XP7 and XP8 phones? Answer: Yes, please reach out to Sonim regarding the new BLE accessories that you are interested in becoming compatible with Sonim XP5, XP5s, XP7 and XP8 phones. -Question: Is this application required if running Kodiak PTT on the phone?
