Safety and warranty

Safety text

The salespackage may contain several different products and parts (hereafter known collectivelyas the “Product”), for example a phone with variouschargers. The following simple guidelines are intended to cover all products and parts. Not following the guidelinesmay resultin risks to personal safety or data, damage to the Product, or in non-compliance with legalrequirements.

Medical considerations

The operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with the function of inadequatelyprotected medicaldevices. 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 medical devicesrecommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) between a wirelessdevice and an implanted medical device, 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 isany reason to suspect interference.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the implanted medicaldevice.

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

To prev ent poss ibl e hearing damage, do not lis ten at high v olume levels for long periods. When you use the headset, y our ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do not use the headset where i t c an endanger your safety. Lis ten to the headset at a moderate level, and do not hold the device near y our ear when the louds peaker is i n use.

HAC Hearing Aid Compat ibility (HAC) for digital handsets

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

FCC’swireless hearing aid compatibility rules ensure 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 technicalobstacles.

Safety and warranty

To define and measure the hear ing aid compatibilityof handsets, FCC references ANSI C63.19 2007 version and 2011 version; ANSI C63.19 standard specifies testing procedures for determining the M-rating and T-rating of the digital handsets.

A handset is considered hearing aid-compatiblefor 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 telecoilinside.) This device was tested according to ANSI C63.19 2011 version, and this meets the M3/T4 rating.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) notice - VM-01T

YOUR VERTU PHO NE (MODEL: AsterT, TYPE: VM-01T, FCC ID: P7QVM-01T ) MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADI O WAVES

Your phone isa r adio tr ansmitter 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 scientificor ganization 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 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 changes depending on a number of factors, such as how close you are to a network base station. T he highest SAR valueunder the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the ear is 0.274W/kg. Thisphone 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 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, thisdevice requires a good qualityconnection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data filesor messages may be delayed untilsuch a connectionis available. Ensure that the above separation distanceinstructionsare followed until the transmission iscompleted.

Use of phone accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR valuesmay vary depending on national reporting and testingrequirements and the network band. AdditionalSAR 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 wavesestablished 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 highestSAR values reported under this standard during Product certification for use at the head are 0.62W/kg and 0.62W/kg, and when properlyworn on the body (10mm gap) is 1.19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,complywith Part 15 of the FCC rules.

Safety and warranty

Operation issubject to the following two conditions: (i) the Product(s) may not cause harmful interference, and (ii) the Product(s) must accept any interference received, includinginterference that may cause undesired operation. Anychanges or modificationsnot expressly approved by Vertu could void the user’s authority to operate thisequipment.

This Class B digitalapparatus complies with Canada ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B).

The devicecould automaticallydiscontinue transmissionin case of absence of information to transmit or of operational failure. Note that thisisnot intended to prohibit the transmission of control or signalling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology.

The devicefor 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 complywith the EIRP limitsspecified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.

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

Declaration of Conformity

We, Vertu, declare under our sole responsibility that the following are in conformity with the provision of Council Directive 1999/5/EC: Model VERTUAsterT, type VM-01T; Model Vertu V Collection Wired Headset type WH-4V & WH-5V; and USB data cable, type CA-225DV.
