Medical considerations
The operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wirelessphones, may interfere with the function of
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturers of the medical devices
to determine whether they are adequately shielded from external RF (Radio Frequency) energy.
Manufacturersof medical devicesrecommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches)
between a wireless device and an implanted medicaldevice, such as a pacemakeror implanted
cardioverterdefibrillator. Personswho have such devicesshould also:
l
Not carrythe phone in a breastpocket.
l
Hold the phone to the ear opposite the medicaldevice.
l
Turn the phone off if there is any reason to suspect interference.
l
Follow the manufacturer’sinstructionsfor the implanted medicaldevice.
If you have any questionsabout using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult your
health care provider.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do n ot listen at high volum e levels for
long periods. When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds
may be affected. Do not use th e headset where it can endanger your safety.
Listen to the headset at a moderate level, and do not hold the device near your
ear when the loudspeaker is in use.
HAC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) for digital handsets
Your phone complieswith FCC (Federal CommunicationsCommission) rulesgoverning hearing aid
compatibility.Some wirelessdevicesmay interfere with some hearing aids. Forfull hearing aid
compatibility,you should turn off the Bluetooth connectivity.
FCC’s wirelesshearing aid compatibilityrulesensure that consumers with hearing loss are able to access
wireless communications services through a wide selection of handsets without experiencing disabling
radio frequency (RF) interference or other technical obstacles.
To define and measure the hearing aid compatibilityof handsets, FCC references ANSI C63.19 2007
version and 2011 version; ANSI C63.19 standard specifies testing proceduresfor determining the M-rating
and T-rating of the digital handsets.
A handset is consideredhearing aid-compatible for acousticcoupling if it meets a rating of M3 or M4, under
the ANSI C63.19. A handset is considered hearing aid-compatible for inductive coupling if it meets a rating
of T3 or T4, under ANSI C63.19. (Not all hearing-aids have telecoil inside.) Thisdevice was tested
according to ANSI C63.19 2007 version, and this meets the M3/T4 rating.
Thisphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wirelesstechnologiesthat it
uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been
tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughlyand
in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering
noise. Consult your service provideror Vertu Customer Servicefor information on hearing aid compatibility.
If you have questionsabout return or exchange policies,consult Vertu Customer Service.

Your phone is a radio transmitterand 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
scientificorganization ICNIRP, and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelinesfor mobile devicesemploy a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, orSAR. 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 itshighest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR
levelof 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 0.494W/kg. This phone meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the
normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 15mm (5/8 inch) away from the body.
When a carrycase, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal, and
should position the phone at the above-stated distanceaway 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 filesor 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 phone 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 at www.vertu.com.
USA and Canada
Your phone is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the
FederalCommunications Commission (USA) and Industry Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of
1.6W/kg,averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during
Product certification for use at the head is 0.62W/kg, and when properly worn on the body ( 10mm gap) is
0.98W/kg.
Your phone may cause TV or radio interference ( for example, when using the phone in closeproximity to
receiving equipment). The FCC or Industry Canada can require you to stop using your phone if such
interference cannot be eliminated. If you require assistance, contact Vertu Concierge. The Product(s)
complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (i) the Product(s) may not cause harmful interference,
and (ii) the Product(s) must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesiredoperation. Any changes or modificationsnot expressly approved by Vertu could void the user’s
authority to operate this equipment.
Operation on the 5.15–5.25 GHz frequency band is restrictedto indoor use only. The FCC requires indoor
use for the 5.15–5.25 GHz band to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile
satellite systems.
ThisClass B digital apparatus complieswith Canada ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B).
The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of information to transmit or of
operational failure. Note that thisis not intended to prohibit the transmission of control or signalling
information or the use of repetitive codes where requiredby the technology.
l
The device for the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful
interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
l
The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devicesin the bands 5250–5350 MHz and 5470–5725
MHz) to comply with the limit on equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP).
l
The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devicesin the band 5725–5850 MHz) to comply with the
EIRP limits specifiedfor point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.
In addition, high-power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning that they have priority) of the band
5250–5350 MHz, and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to licence-exempt LAN
devices.
