Important Information
4
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The wireless phone described in this guide is
approved for use on EGSM 900 and GSM 1900
networks. Contact your service provider for more
information about networks.
When using your Vertu phone, obey all laws and
respect privacy and legitimate rights of others.
NETWORK SERVICES
To use the phone you must have service from a
wireless service provider. Many of the features in
your Vertu phone depend on features in the
wireless network to function. These Network
Services may not be available on all networks or
you may have to make specific arrangements with
your service provider before you can utilise
Network Services. Your service provider may need
to give you additional instructions for their use and
explain what charges will apply. Some networks
may have limitations that affect how you can use
Network Services. For instance, some networks
may not support all language-dependent
characters and services.
Your service provider may have also requested that
certain features be disabled or not activated in your
Vertu phone. If so, they will not appear on your
menus. Contact your service provider for more
information.
SHARED MEMORY
Some of the data features in your Vertu phone
share memory. Using one or more of these features
may reduce the memory available for the remaining
features sharing memory. For example, saving
many hundreds of phone book entries may use all
of the available memory. Your phone may display a
message that the memory is full when you try to
use a shared memory feature. In this case, delete
some of the information or entries stored in the
shared memory features before continuing. Some
of the features, such as the directory, have a
certain amount of memory specially allotted to
them in addition to the amount of memory shared
with other features.
Warning. All of your Vertu phone’s features,
other than the alarm clock, require the phone
to be switched on to use the features. Do not
switch your Vertu phone on when wireless
phone use may cause interference or danger.
quickguide.book Page 4 Thursday, August 21, 2003 3:43 PM
Safety points

SAFETY POINTS
Your phone an internal antenna. As with any other
radio transmitting device, do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the phone is switched on.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and

level than otherwise needed. Avoiding contact with
the antenna during a call optimises the antenna
performance and the talk time of your Vertu phone.
Your Vertu phone and its accessories may contain
small parts. Keep them out of reach of small
children.
For full safety instructions refer to “safety
information” on page 44. Additional information is
also available in the User manual on the CD-ROM.
Caution. Do not switch on the phone when
wireless phone use is prohibited or when it
may cause interference or danger. Please read
these simple guidelines. Disregarding these
rules may be dangerous or illegal.

The SIM card and its contacts are easily damaged.
Be careful when handling, inserting or removing
the card.

carefully into the slot of the locking screw (02).
Ensure the key does not slip out of the slot.
>Turn the locking screw a quarter of a turn
anti-clockwise, and gently pivot and lift off the

remove the back cover while the phone is
switched on, the phone will automatically switch
off.
Caution. Keep SIM cards and the back cover
release key out of the reach of small children.
Always switch the phone off and disconnect
the charger before removing the battery.

SWITCHING ON YOUR VERTU PHONE
If your battery requires charging, a battery low
message is displayed when you first switch on your
Vertu phone. Refer to “Charging your battery” on
page 33 for more information.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and
may cause the phone to operate at a higher power
level than otherwise needed. Avoiding contact with
the antenna area when operating the phone
optimises the antenna performance and battery life.
ENTERING YOUR PIN CODE
Depending on your SIM card settings, you may be
prompted to enter a PIN (Personal Identification

SIM card and is independent of your Vertu phone.
If you used your SIM card in another phone
previously, the code will be the same.

POWER key (01) for
approximately four
seconds to switch on
your Vertu phone.

Emergency calls
21
EMERGENCY CALLS
IMPORTANT! Your Vertu phone, like any wireless
phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and
landline networks as well as user-programmed
functions. Because of this, connections in all
conditions cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you
should never rely solely upon any wireless phone
for essential communications, for example medical
emergencies.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all
wireless phone networks or when certain network
services and/or phone features are in use. Check
with local service providers.
MAKING AN EMERGENCY CALL
>If the phone is not on, switch it on. Some
networks may require that a valid SIM card is
properly inserted in the phone.
>Check for adequate signal strength and battery
charge level.
>Press the END key as many times as needed to
return to the stand-by display.
>Key in the emergency number for your present
location, for example 112, 911 or other official
emergency number. Emergency numbers vary
by location.
>Press the SEND key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to
turn those features off before you can make an
emergency call. For more information consult the
User manual or your local service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to
give all the necessary information as accurately as
possible.
Remember that your phone may be the only means
of communication at the scene of an accident – do
not cut off the call until given permission to do so.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Vertu products have been crafted from the
finest materials and care should be taken to keep
them in good condition.
Damage caused by failing to observe the following
instructions is not covered by the warranty.
CERAMICS AND SAPPHIRE
Ceramics and sapphire are very hard materials but
are also brittle and can be scratched by harder
materials or objects. Furthermore, they can be
damaged if dropped.
Please avoid the following:
>Contact with other hard objects and
materials such as diamond rings, nail files,
sand paper, abrasives, quartz crystals, metal
oxides, nitrides and carbides.
>Dropping or knocking the product on
hard surfaces.
>Repeated rubbing against hard surfaces.
LEATHER
All Vertu leather products are made by expert
craftsmen. Each leather hide is unique and has its
own natural characteristics which should be
considered part of the individuality of fine leather
and not as imperfections or flaws. All leather can
be damaged and should be treated with care.
Please avoid the following:
>Prolonged exposure to water and
high humidity.
>Exposure to extreme temperatures.
>Contact with oily substances, make-up and
solvents.
quickguide.book Page 41 Thursday, August 21, 2003 3:43 PM
Care and maintenance
42
METAL
Vertu metals are finished to a high standard and
care needs to be taken to maintain their
appearance. Vertu precious metals have a high
tarnish resistance but will need polishing to remove
fingerprints. Protect in soft cases where possible
and polish only with Vertu recommended polishing
cloth.
Please avoid the following:
>Contact with chemicals such as solvents,
alkaline and acid solutions, cola-based drinks
and prolonged exposure to salt water. Wipe
with a clean, soft cloth as soon as possible if
contact occurs.
>Contact with sharp objects.
>Dropping or knocking against hard surfaces.
THE MICROFIBRE POLISHING CLOTH
The microfibre polishing cloth is hand washable
and is provided for polishing the surfaces and
removing fingerprints. The surface MUST be free
from dust before polishing as dust particles may
damage metal surfaces when polished.
GENERAL CARE TIPS
>Do not use or store your Vertu phone in
dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and
electronic components can be damaged.
>Do not store your Vertu phone in hot areas.
High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic components and damage
batteries.
>Do not store your Vertu phone in cold areas.
When your Vertu phone returns to its normal
temperature, moisture can form inside and
damage the electronics.
>Do not attempt to open your Vertu phone
other than as instructed in this guide.
>Do not drop, knock, or shake your Vertu
phone. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards and fine mechanics.
Jewellery cleaner must not be used as this
may affect the mechanics of the product
and invalidate the warranty.

Battery information
43
BATTERY INFORMATION
Your Vertu phone is powered by a rechargeable
battery. The full performance of a new battery is
achieved only after two or three complete charge
and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged
and discharged hundreds of times but it will
eventually wear out. If you notice that the talk and
standby times are much shorter than normal, you
may need a new battery. Contact Vertu Concierge
to acquire a Vertu approved battery. Use only Vertu
approved batteries and recharge your battery
using only the Vertu approved chargers designed
for your Vertu phone.
CHARGING AND DISCHARGING
Unplug the charger from the AC outlet and your
Vertu phone when not in use. Do not leave your
Vertu phone connected to a charger.
Overcharging the battery may shorten its lifetime. If
left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time. Temperature extremes can affect
the ability of your battery to charge.
BATTERY CARE AND SAFETY
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-
circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as
a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery
(the metal strips on the battery.) This might
happen, for example, when you carry a spare
battery in your pocket, purse or bag. Short-
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery
and the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in
a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and
25°C (59°F and 77°F). If your battery is very hot or
extremely cold, your Vertu phone may not work
temporarily, even if the battery is fully charged.
Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Caution. Never dispose of batteries in a fire.
Always dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do
not dispose of batteries as household waste.

SAFETY INFORMATION
TRAFFIC SAFE TY
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a
vehicle. If using a hand-held phone park the vehicle
before conversing. Do not place the phone on the
passenger seat or where it can break loose in a
collision or sudden stop.
The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s
lights or horn on public roads is not permitted.
Remember road safety always comes first!
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Remember to follow any special regulations in
force in any area and always switch off your phone
whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to
another device, read its user’s guide for detailed
safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for the satisfactory operation
of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it
is recommended that the equipment should only
be used in the normal operating position. When the
phone is on and being worn on the body, always
use an approved carrying case.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
PA C E M A K ER S
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum separation of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a hand-held wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
>Should always keep the phone more than
15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when
the phone is switched on;
quickguide.book Page 44 Thursday, August 21, 2003 3:43 PM
safety information
45
>Should not carry the phone in a
breast pocket;
>Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize the potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place, switch off your phone immediately.
HEARING AIDS
Some wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference,
consult your service provider.
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including wireless phones, may interfere with the
functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of
the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if
you have any questions.
Switch off your phone in health care facilities when
any regulations posted in these areas instruct you
to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
VEHICLES
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles (e.g. electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems, air bag
systems).
Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartment as
the phone, its parts or accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember
that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not
place objects, including both installed or portable
wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or
in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

AIRCRAFT
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft.
The use of wireless telephones in an aircraft may
be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft,
disrupt the wireless telephone network and may be
illegal. In the United States, FCC regulations
prohibit using your Vertu phone while in the air
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to
suspension or denial of telephone services to the
offender, or legal action or both.
POSTED FACILITIES
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted
notices so require.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Switch off your phone when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at
a refuelling point (service station). Users are
reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the
use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage
and distribution areas), chemical plants or where
blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often but not always clearly marked. They include
below deck on boats; chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquified petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust
or metal powders; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.

FDA update on wireless phones

FDA UPDATE ON WIRELESS PHONES
1. DO WIRELESS PHONES POSE A HEALTH
HAZARD?
The available scientific evidence does not show
that any health problems are associated with using
wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that
wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy
(RF) in the microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF when in the
stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can
produce health effects (by heating tissue),
exposure to low level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures
have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological
effects may occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research. In some cases,
other researchers have had difficulty in
reproducing those studies, or in determining the
2. WHAT IS FDA'S ROLE CONCERNING THE
SAFETY OF WIRELESS PHONES?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of
radiation-emitting consumer products such as
wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does
with new drugs or medical devices. However, the
agency has authority to take action if wireless
phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy
(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such
a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of
wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard
and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that
the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify
FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the
wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:
>Support needed research into possible
biological effects of RF of the type emitted by
wireless phones;
>Design wireless phones in a way that
minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is
not necessary for device function; and

purchased a Vertu phone for use in the United
States of America.
quickguide.book Page 54 Thursday, August 21, 2003 3:43 PM
FDA update on wireless phones
55
>Cooperate in providing users of wireless
phones with the best possible information on
possible effects of wireless phone use on
human health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of
the federal agencies that have responsibility for
different aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the federal level. The
following agencies belong to this working group:
>National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health
>Environmental Protection Agency
>Federal Communications Commission
>Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
>National Telecommunications and
Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in
some interagency working group activities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless
phones with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the
United States must comply with FCC safety
guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on
FDA and other health agencies for safety questions
about wireless phones. FCC also regulates the
base stations that the wireless phone networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at higher
power than do the wireless phones themselves,
the RF exposures that people get from these base
stations are typically thousands of times lower than
those they can get from wireless phones. Base
stations are thus not the subject of the safety
questions discussed in this document.
3. WHAT KINDS OF PHONES ARE THE
SUBJECT OF THIS UPDATE?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held
wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called
cell mobile or PCS phones. These types of
wireless phones can expose the user to
measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because
of the short distance between the phone and the
users head. These RF exposures are limited by
Federal Communications Commission safety
guidelines that were developed with the advice of
FDA and other federal health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at greater distances
from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically
quickguide.book Page 55 Thursday, August 21, 2003 3:43 PM
FDA update on wireless phones
56
lower because a person's RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing distance from the source.
The so-called cordless phones; which have a base
unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus
produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety
limits.
4. WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF THE
RESEARCH DONE ALREADY?
The research done thus far has produced
conflicting results, and many studies have suffered
from flaws in their research methods. Animal
experiments investigating the effects of
radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures
characteristic of wireless phones have yielded
conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in
other laboratories. A few animal studies, however,
have suggested that low levels of RF could
accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory
animals. However, many of the studies that
showed increased tumor development used
animals that had been genetically engineered or
treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be
pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of
RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to
RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions
are not similar to the conditions under which
people use wireless phones, so we don’t know
with certainty what the results of such studies
mean for human health. Three large epidemiology
studies have been published since December
2000. Between them, the studies investigated any
possible association between the use of wireless
phones and primary brain cancer, glioma,
meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the
brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers.
None of the studies demonstrated the existence of
any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF
exposures. However, none of the studies can
answer questions about long-term exposures,
since the average period of phone use in these
studies was around three years.
5.WHAT RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO DECIDE
WHETHER RF EXPOSURE FROM WIRELESS
PHONES POSES A HEALTH RISK?
A combination of laboratory studies and
epidemiological studies of people actually using
wireless phones would provide some of the data
that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies
could be completed in a few years. However, very
large numbers of animals would be needed to
provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect
quickguide.book Page 56 Thursday, August 21, 2003 3:43 PM
FDA update on wireless phones
57
if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide
data that is directly applicable to human
populations, but 10 or more years follow-up may
be needed to provide answers about some health
effects, such as cancer. This is because the
interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-
causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they
do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties
in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day
use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this
measurement, such as the angle at which the
phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
6. WHAT IS FDA DOING TO FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT THE POSSIBLE HEALTH EFFECTS OF
WIRELESS PHONE RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology
Program and with groups of investigators around
the world to ensure that high priority animal studies
are conducted to address important questions
about the effects of exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF). FDA has been a leading participant in
the World Health Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its
inception in 1996. An influential result of this work
has been the development of a detailed agenda of
research needs that has driven the establishment
of new research programs around the world. The
Project has also helped develop a series of public
information documents on EMF issues. FDA and
the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)
to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA
provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input
from experts in government, industry, and
academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is
conducted through contracts to independent
investigators. The initial research will include both
laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone
users. The CRADA will also include a broad
assessment of additional research needs in the
context of the latest research developments
around the world.
7. HOW CAN I FIND OUT HOW MUCH
RADIOFREQUENCY ENERGY EXPOSURE I
CAN GET BY USING MY WIRELESS PHONE?
All phones sold in the United States must comply
with Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures. FCC established these guidelines in
consultation with FDA and the other federal health
quickguide.book Page 57 Thursday, August 21, 2003 3:43 PM
FDA update on wireless phones
58
and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF
exposure from wireless telephones is set at a
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per
kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent
with the safety standards developed by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
(IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit
takes into consideration the body’s ability to
remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy
from the wireless phone and is set well below
levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of
wireless phones must report the RF exposure level
for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC
website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives
directions for locating the FCC identification
number on your phone so you can find your
phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
8. WHAT HAS FDA DONE TO MEASURE THE
RADIOFREQUENCY ENERGY COMING FROM
WIRELESS PHONES?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing a technical standard for
measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposure from wireless phones and other wireless
handsets with the participation and leadership of
FDA scientists and engineers. The standard,
Recommended Practice for Determining the
Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in
the Human Body Due to Wireless
Communications Devices: Experimental
Techniques, sets forth the first consistent test
methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is
deposited in the heads of wireless phone users.
The test method uses a tissue simulating model of
the human head. Standardized SAR test
methodology is expected to greatly improve the
consistency of measurements made at different
laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the
measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in
tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of
the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/
g) of matter. This measurement is used to
determine whether a wireless phone complies with
safety guidelines.
9. WHAT STEPS CAN I TAKE TO REDUCE MY
EXPOSURE TO RADIOFREQUENCY ENERGY
FROM MY WIRELESS PHONE?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this
point we do not know that there is--it is probably
very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding
even potential risks, you can take a few simple
quickguide.book Page 58 Thursday, August 21, 2003 3:43 PM
FDA update on wireless phones
59
steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much
exposure a person receives, reducing the amount
of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce
RF exposure. If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone every day, you
could place more distance between your body and
the source of the RF, since the exposure level
drops off dramatically with distance. For example,
you could use a headset and carry the wireless
phone away from your body or use a wireless
phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the
scientific data does not demonstrate that wireless
phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about
the RF exposure from these products, you can use
measures like those described above to reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
10. WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN USING
WIRELESS PHONES?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to
users of wireless phones, including children and
teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower
exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the
measures described above would apply to children
and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing
the time of wireless phone use and increasing the
distance between the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by
other national governments have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless
phones at all. For example, the government in the
United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing
such a recommendation in December 2000. They
noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless
phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by
children was strictly precautionary; it was not
based on scientific evidence that any health hazard
exists.
11. WHAT ABOUT WIRELESS PHONE
INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones
can interact with some electronic devices. For this
reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test
method to measure electromagnetic interference
(EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test
method is now part of a standard sponsored by the
Association for the Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort
by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many
other groups, was completed in late 2000. This
quickguide.book Page 59 Thursday, August 21, 2003 3:43 PM
FDA update on wireless phones
60
standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from
wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested hearing aids
for interference from handheld wireless phones
and helped develop a voluntary standard
sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and performance
requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones
so that no interference occurs when a person uses
a compatible phone and a accompanied hearing
aid at the same time. This standard was approved
by the IEEE in 2000. FDA continues to monitor the
use of wireless phones for possible interactions
with other medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct
testing to assess the interference and work to
resolve the problem.

SAFE & RESPONSIBLE PHONE USE
61
SAFE & RESPONSIBLE PHONE USE
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take
advantage of the unique combination of
convenience, safety and value delivered by the
wireless telephone.
Quite simply, the wireless phone gives people the
powerful ability to communicate by voice–almost
anywhere, anytime–with the boss, with a client,
with the kids, with emergency personnel or even
with the police. Each year, Americans make billions
of calls from their wireless phones, and the
numbers are rapidly growing.
But an important responsibility accompanies those
benefits, one that every wireless phone user must
uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. A wireless phone can be an
invaluable tool, but good judgment must be
exercised at all times while driving a motor vehicle
— whether on the phone or not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as
teenagers. Driving requires alertness, caution and
courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic common
sense — keep your head up, keep your eyes on the
road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out
for other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs
and signals and staying within the speed limit. It
means using seat belts and requiring other
passengers to do the same.
But with wireless phone use, driving safely means
a little more. This information is a call to wireless
phone users everywhere to make safety their first
priority when behind the wheel of a car. Wireless
telecommunications is keeping us in touch,
simplifying our lives, protecting us in emergencies
and providing opportunities to help others in need.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE USE OF WIRELESS
PHONES, SAFETY IS YOUR MOST IMPORTANT
CALL.
WIRELESS PHONE “SAFETY TIPS”
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and
using a wireless phone which should be easy to
remember.
1 Get to know your wireless phone and its features
such as speed dial and redial. Carefully read your
instruction manual and learn to take advantage of
This information is provided for clients who
purchased a Vertu phone for use in the United
States of America.
quickguide.book Page 61 Thursday, August 21, 2003 3:43 PM
SAFE & RESPONSIBLE PHONE USE
62
valuable features most phones offer, including
automatic redial and memory. Also, work to
memorize the phone keypad so you can use the
speed dial function without taking your attention off
the road.
2 When available, use a hands free device. A number
of hands free wireless phone accessories are
readily available today. Whether you choose an
installed mounted device for your wireless phone
or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of
these devices if available to you.
3 Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
Make sure you place your wireless phone within
easy reach and where you can grab it with out
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible,
let your voice mail answer it for you.
4 Suspend conversations during hazardous driving
conditions or situations. Let the person you are
speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can
be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver,
your first responsibility is to pay attention to the
road.
5 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. If you are reading an address book or
business card, or writing a “to do” list while driving
a car, you are not watching where you are going.
It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a
dangerous situation because you are reading or
writing and not paying attention to the road or near
by vehicles.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,
place calls when you are not moving or before pulling
into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin
your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with
times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red light
or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial
while driving, follow this simple tip – dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or
emotional conversations and driving do not mix –
they are distracting and even dangerous when you
are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you are
talking with aware you are driving and if necessary,
suspend conversations which have the potential to
divert your attention from the road.
quickguide.book Page 62 Thursday, August 21, 2003 3:43 PM
SAFE & RESPONSIBLE PHONE USE

8 Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your
wireless phone is one of the greatest tools you can
own to protect yourself and your family in
dangerous situations – with your phone at your
side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 or
other local emergency number in the case of fire,
traffic accident, road hazard or medical emergency.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9 Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a
perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in
your community. If you see an auto accident, crime
in progress or other serious emergency where lives
are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.
10 Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-
emergency assistance number when necessary.
Certain situations you encounter while driving may
require attention, but are not urgent enough to
merit a call for emergency services. But you still
can use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you
see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious
hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic
accident where no one appears injured or a vehicle
you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or
other special non-emergency wireless number.
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving
irresponsibly represent a hazard to everyone on the
road. Since 1984, the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association and the
wireless industry have conducted educational
outreach to inform wireless phone users of their
responsibilities as safe drivers and good citizens.
As we approach a new century, more and more of
us will take advantage of the benefits of wireless
telephones. And, as we take to the roads, we all
have a responsibility to drive safely.
THE WIRELESS INDUSTRY REMINDS YOU TO USE
YOUR PHONE SAFELY WHEN DRIVING.

FCC NOTICE
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required
to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest
SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC
when tested for use at the ear is 0.45 and when worn on
the body, as described in the user guide, is 0.28. (Body-
worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement. The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC (search for
FCC ID:
P7Q
on the FCC web site http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/).
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with

various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is
1.6 Watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of
body tissue.
The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety
to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary
depending on national reporting requirements and the
network band. For additional SAR information go to http://

EU R&TTE Notice

EU R&TTE NOTICE
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy recommended by
The Council of the European Union. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines were developed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of
the European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have
been conducted using standard operating positions with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in
all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be
shown.
This directive includes as one essential requirement the
protection of the health and the safety for the user and any
other person.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for compliance against the standard was 0.3 W/kg. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
EU requirements for RF exposure.
