Safety and warranty

Safety text

The salespackage maycontain several different products and parts (hereafter known collectively as the “Product”), for example a phone with various chargers. The following simple guidelinesare intended to cover all products and parts. Not following the guidelinesmay result in risksto personal safety or data, damage to the Product, or in non-compliance with legal requirements.

Medical considerations

The operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wirelessphones, mayinterfere with the function of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturers of the medical devices to determine whether they are adequatelyshielded from external RF (Radio Frequency) energy.

Manufacturers of medical devicesrecommend 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 have such devices should also:

Not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

Hold the phone to the ear opposite the medical device.

Turn the phone off if there is any reason to suspect interference.

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

If you have any questionsabout using your wireless device with an implanted medicaldevice, consult your health care provider.

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do not use the 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 complies with FCC (Federal CommunicationsCommission) rules governing hearing aid compatibility. Some wireless devicesmay interfere with some hearing aids. For full hearing aid compatibility, you should turn off the Bluetooth connectivity.

FCC’swireless hearing aid compatibility rules ensure that consumerswith hearing loss are able to access wireless communications servicesthrough 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 compatibility of handsets, FCC references ANSI C63.19 2007 version and 2011 version; ANSI C63.19 standard specifiestesting procedures for determining 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 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.) This device was tested according to ANSI C63.19 2011 version, and this meets the M4/T3 rating.

This phone hasbeen tested and rated for use with hearing aidsfor some of the wireless technologies that 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 thoroughly and 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 Service for 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 is not allowed or when it may cause interference or danger, for example near medical equipment, fuel, chemicals, or blasting areas.

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 featuresthat require cellular network coverage. You can, however, still make emergency calls.

The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three 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 it is 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 use any charger or battery that is damaged. Use only Vertu-approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Vertu approved chargers designated for the device. Use of an unapproved battery or charger may result in a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Do not connect other, incompatible devic es to the chargers. When y our charger is not in use, unplug it from the electrical plug and the device. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, as overcharging may shorten the battery ’s lifetime.

Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred cellsor batteries. In the event of a batteryleak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. In the event of such a leak, flush your skin or eyes immediatelywith water, or seek medical help.

Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or immerse or expose it to water or other liquids. Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. If the device or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and you believe that the battery hasbeen 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 is completelydischarged, it may take several minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be made.

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

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

Your phone isa radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to not exceed the limitsfor exposure to radio waves recommended by internationalguidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent

Safety and warranty

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 levelin all tested frequencybands. 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 networkbase station. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the ear is 0.486W/kg. Thisphone meets RF exposure guidelineswhen 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 isused for body-worn 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 filesor messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure that the above separation distance instructions are followed untilthe transmission is completed.

Use of phone accessoriesand enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR valuesmay 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 isalso designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the Federal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6W/kg, averaged over one gram of tissue. The 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) is 1.29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 require assistance, contact Vertu Customer Service. TheProduct, or Products,comply 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 undesired operation. Anychanges or modifications not expresslyapproved by Vertu could void the user’s authorityto operate this equipment.

Operation on the 5.15–5.25 GHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use only. The FCC requiresindoor use for the 5.15–5.25 GHz band to reduce the potentialfor harmfulinterference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.

Safety and warranty

This Class B digital apparatus complies with 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 this is not intended to prohibit the transmission of control or signalling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology.

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.

The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250–5350 MHz and 5470– 5725MHz) to comply with the limit on equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP).

The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725–5850 MHz) to comply with the EIRP limitsspecified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.

In addition, high-power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning that theyhave priority) of the band 5250–5350 MHz, and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to licence-exempt LAN devices.
