Care and maintenance
Your Vertu products have been crafted from some of the finest materials
and care should be taken to keep them in good condition. Damage caused
to your Vertu phone by failing to observe these care instructions is not
covered by the warranty.
General
> Always use your Vertu phone in the intended manner. Incorrect usage
may affect performance.
> To avoid permanent damage to your Vertu phone, use only Vertu
approved batteries and accessories.

> Interference may affect the performance of your Vertu phone. This is
normal and the phone should operate as normal once you move away
from the source of the interference.
> If your Vertu phone, or any of the accessories, are not working as they
should, please consult Vertu Customer Service (page 34). They can
provide you with the expert assistance you require.
> Do not attempt to disassemble your Vertu phone. Only Vertu authorised
personnel should service the phone.
> Only use a soft, clean cloth to clean your Vertu phone. Do not use
chemicals, detergents, abrasive substances, or any liquids. Use a
cotton swab to clean the camera lens.
Battery
> Do not leave the battery connected to the charger and power source for

Other precautions
SAR Notice – RM-589V
YOUR VERTU PHONE (MODEL: ASCENT X, TYPE: RM-589V, FCC ID:
P7QRM-589V) MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your Vertu phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to not
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international
guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP, and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the
ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 Watts/kilogram (W/kg), averaged over ten grams of
tissue. 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 actual SAR level of an operating device can be
below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the
power required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on
a number of factors, such as how close you are to a network base station.
The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device
at the ear is 0.47 W/kg.
This phone meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal
use position against the ear or when positioned at least 2.2 cm (7/8 inch)
away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for bodyworn operation, it should not contain metal, and should position the phone
at the above-stated distance away from your body.
In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a good
quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files
or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure
that the above separation distance instructions are followed until the
transmission is completed.
Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR
values. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing
requirements and the network band. Additional SAR information may be
provided under product information on the Vertu official web site.
10 Other precautions
