The salespackage may contain several different pr oducts and parts (hereafter known collectivelyas the “Product”), for example a phone with various charger s. The following simple guidelines are intended to cover all products and parts. Not following the guidelinesmay result in r isks to personal safetyor data, damage to the Product, or in non-compliance with legal requirements.

Medical considerations

The operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with the function of inadequately pr otected 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.

Manufacturers of medicaldevices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) between a wirelessdevice and an implanted medicaldevice, such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator. Persons who havesuch devicesshould also:

Not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

Hold the phone to the ear opposite the medicaldevice.

Turn the phone off if there isany reason to suspectinterference.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the implanted medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wirelessdevice with an implanted medical device, consult your health care provider.

To prevent poss ibl e hear ing damage, do not li sten at hi gh v olume levels for long periods. When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do not use the heads et where i t can endanger y our safety . Listen to the headset at a moderate level, and do not hold the device near your ear when the louds peaker i s in use.

HAC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) for digital handsets

Your phone complies with FCC (Federal Communications Commission) rules governing hearing aid compatibility.Some wirelessdevices may interfere with some hearing aids. For fullhearing aid compatibility,you should turn off the Bluetooth connectivity.

FCC’swireless hearing aid compatibility rulesensure that consumers with hearing loss are able to access wireless communicationsservices through a wide selection of handsets without experiencing disabling radio frequency (RF) interference or other technical obstacles.

Safety and warranty

To define and measure the hearing aid compatibilityof handsets, FCC references ANSI C63.19 2007 version and 2011 version; ANSI C63.19 standard specifiestesting procedures for deter mining the Mrating and T-rating of the digital handsets.

A handset is considered hearing aid-compatible for acoustic coupling if it meets a rating of M3 or M4, under the ANSI C63.19. A handset isconsidered hearing aid-compatible for inductive coupling if it meets a rating of T3 or T4, under ANSI C63.19. (Not allhearing-aids have telecoilinside.) This device was tested according to ANSI C63.19 2011 version, and this meets the M4/T3 rating.

This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wirelesstechnologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wirelesstechnologiesused in thisphone 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 provider or Vertu Customer Servicefor information on hearing aid compatibility.If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult Vertu Customer Service.

Switch off the phone in restricted or dangerous areas

Switch the phone off when mobile phone use isnot allowed or when it may cause interference or danger, for example near medical equipment, fuel, chemicals, or blasting ar eas.

Airplane profile when travelling

Unless specifically requested to turn the phone off, you can select the Airplane (offline) profile, which means that you cannot make or receive any calls, or use other features that require cellular network coverage. You can, however, stillmake emergency calls.

Use in vehicles

Radio signalsmay affect improperly installed or inadequatelyshielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection, electronic anti-lock braking, electronic speed control, and air bag systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer of your vehicleor itsequipment.

Onlyqualified personnel should installthe phone in a vehicle. Faultyinstallation or servicemay be dangerous and may invalidate your warranty. Checkregularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammableliquids, gases, or explosive materials, in the same compartment as the phone, itsparts, or accessories.Remember that air bags inflate with great force, so do not place your phone or accessories in the air bag deployment area.

Batteries, chargers and other accessories

If the Product has an internal battery, this is intended to be rechargeable and non removable, being intended for use when suppliedwith power from the Vertu Mainscharger (AC-32V), or from a suitable computer. Do not attempt to remove the battery, as you may damage it.

The fullperformance of a new battery is achieved only after two or thr ee complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery in a device can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When you believe that the performance of the device has deteriorated (for example, when the talk and standby times on the phone are noticeably shorter than normal), replace the battery if itis removable, or, if it is non-removable,take the associated device to the nearest authorised service facility.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never us e any charger or battery that is damaged. Use only Vertu-approved batteries, and r echarge y our battery only with Vertu approved chargers desi gnated for the device. Use of an unapprov ed battery or c harger may res ult in a risk of fi re, explosi on, leakage, or other hazar d. Do not c onnect other, incompati ble devices to the chargers. When your charger is not in use, unplug it from the electric al plug and the dev ic e. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, as ov erc harging may s horten the battery’s lifetime.

Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred cellsor batteries. In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come incontact with the skin or eyes. In the event of sucha leak, flush your skin or eyes immediately with water, or seekmedicalhelp.

Do not modify,remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or immerse or expose it to water or other liquids. Improper battery usemay result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. If the device or battery isdr opped, especiallyon a hard surface, and you believe that the battery has been damaged, take it to the nearest service facility for inspection before continuing to use it. If the phone battery hasnot been used for a long time, then, in order to begin charging it again, you may need to connect the charger, and then disconnect and reconnect it. If the battery iscompletelydischarged, it may take several minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any callscan be made.

Keep your device dry

Your Product is not fullywater-resistant, so keep it dry.

SIM card

The Signature Touch has been designed for use with a microSIM card. NanoSIMcards can be supported with an adaptor available in the sales pack. Standard SIMcards are not supported.

The use of an inc ompati ble SIM card or an adaptor not supplied by Vertu may damage the car d or the phone, and may corrupt data stored on the card.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) notice - RM-980V

YOUR VERTU PHONE (MODEL: Signature Touch, TYPE: RM-980V, FCC ID: P7QRM-980V) MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES

Your 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 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 asthe 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 levelin alltested 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 changesdepending on a number of factors, such as how close you are to a network base station. T he highestSAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the ear is0.486W/kg. T his phone meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 10mm (3/8 inch) away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn oper ation, it should not contain metal, and should position the phone at the above-stated distance away from your body.

In order to transmit data filesor messages,this device requires a good quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmissionof data files or messages may be delayed untilsuch a connection is available. Ensure that the above separation distance instructions are followed untilthe 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. AdditionalSAR 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 wavesestablished bythe Federal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry Canada. T hese requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6W/kg, averaged over one gram of tissue. T he FCC/IC highest SAR values reported under this standard during Product certification for use at the head are 0.69W/kg and 0.69W/kg, and when properlyworn on the body (10mm gap) is1.29W/kg.

Your phone may cause TV or radio interference ( for example, when using the phone in close proximity to receiving equipment). The FCC or Industry Canada can require you to stop using your phone if such interference cannot be eliminated. If you r equire assistance, contact Vertu Customer Service. TheProduct, or Products,complywith Part 15 of the F CC rules.
