HAC Hearing Aid Compat ibility (HAC) for digital handsets

Your phone complies with FCC (Federal Communications Commission) rules governing hearing aid compatibility. Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. For full hearing 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 handsetswithout experiencing disabling radio frequency (RF) interference or other technicalobstacles.

To define and measure the hearing aid compatibilityof handsets, FCC referencesANSI 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.

Safety and warranty

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-aidshave telecoilinside.) This device was tested according to ANSI C63.19 2011 version, and this meets the M3/T4 rating.

This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aidsfor some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wirelesstechnologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of thisphone 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.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) notice - VM-03

YOUR VERTU PHONE (MODEL: Signature T ouch, TYPE: VM-03, FCC ID: P7QVM-03) MEETS GUIDELINES F OR EXPO SURE TO RADIO WAVES

Your phone isa radio transmitter and receiver. It isdesigned 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 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 value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the ear is 0.354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 quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmissionof data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure that the above separation distanceinstructionsare 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. 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 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 highestSAR values reported under this standard during Product certification for use at the head is 0.77W/kg and when properlyworn on the body (10mm gap) are 0.98W/kg and 0.96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, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes or modificationsnot expressly approved by Vertu couldvoid the user’s authority to operate thisequipment.

This ClassB digitalapparatus complieswith Canada ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B).

The devicecould automaticallydiscontinue transmission in case of absence of information to transmitor 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.

l The devicefor the band 5150-5250MHz is onlyfor indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful

interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.

l 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).

l 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 ar e 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.
