Music
About music
> >
Google Play Music lets you listen to your current music collection and to buy additional music through
Google Play Store.
The Music Manager desktop application provides a simple way for you to put your music collection into the
cloud, unlocking the potential of the Play Music service. The application scans your computer for music
files, including files in your iTunes® library, and makes any discovered tracks and albums available to you
in Play Music. If your collection can be matched to music in Google Play Store, the tracks do not even need
to be uploaded, saving you data transfer time.
Once your music is in the cloud, you can access it from any computer connected to Google.com or from
any Android phone or tablet that has the Play Music app installed.
When you first listen to a track with Play Music on your Signature Touch, the song is cached on the phone.
So, over time your favourites are automatically made available for offline listening, such as when you are
travelling on an aeroplane.
Note: The Music Manager application and music purchases from Google Play Storeare only available in
certain markets.
Supported file types
Your Signature Touch will play the following audio file formats: AAC, AAC+, MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A,
OGGand WMA.
Adding songs or albums to Play Music
You have two options for listening to music on your phone. You can listen to music files that you store on
your phone, or you can listen to music in your online library in the Play Music cloud.
To add your music to the Google Play Music cloud
1. Sign up for your Google Play music library: To get started, sign up for Google Play™ and
download Music Manager, a desktop application that lets you upload your collection from your
iTunes music library, or any music folder on your computer, to the cloud.
2. Upload your collection: Sign in to Music Manager and choose where you keep your music.
Music Manager then starts uploading automatically. When you add new music to your computer,
Music Manager can automatically add it to your library too. Music Manager even adds your iTunes
playlists and ratings so you can start listening to your favourites right away.

How can I listen to my iTunes music library on my phone?
One easy way is to use Music Manager, a desktop application that puts your music collection into the
cloud, unlocking the potential of the Play Music service. The application scans your computer for music
files, including files in your iTunes® library, and makes any discovered tracks and albums available to you
in Play Music. If your collection can be matched to music in Google Play Store, the tracks do not even need
to be uploaded, saving you data transfer time. When you add new music to your computer, Music
Manager can automatically add it to your library too. Music Manager even adds your iTunes playlists and
ratings so you can start listening to your favourites right away.
Once your music is in the cloud, you can access it from any computer connected to Google.com or from
any Android phone or tablet that has the Play Music app installed.
When you first listen to a track with Play Music on your phone, the song is cached on the phone. So, over
time your favourites are automatically made available for offline listening, such as when you are travelling
on an aeroplane.
Note: The Music Manager application and music purchases from Google Play Storeare only available in
certain markets.
To add your music to the Google Play Music cloud
1. Sign up for your Google Play music library: To get started, sign up for Google Play™ and
download Music Manager.
2. Upload your collection: Sign in to Music Manager and choose where you keep your music.

library, you can access it on your Signature Touch, on any Android phone or tablet or on the web.
Sign in and all your music is ready to be played.

Precious stones
Precious stones are extremely hard and durable, but can be damaged if handled inappropriately. For
example, they can be broken, or their settings could be damaged by a sharp impact on a hard surface,
causing the stone to become loose or fall out.
Care should also be taken to avoid contact with other jewellery such as diamond rings and diamond
earrings as they can cause abrasion and chipping of the stone or the setting. Reasonable care should be
taken to not catch the setting with threads that may bend the setting and loosen the stones.
We recommend that your Vertu phone is kept in a Vertu leather case when not being used, particularly
when placed in handbags and other luggage.
If the stones appear to become dull from use, the product can be lightly polished using the Vertu
microfibre polishing cloth.
Sapphire and ceramics
Sapphire and ceramics are very hard materials but are also brittle and can be scratched by harder
materials or objects. They can also be damaged if dropped.
Avoid the following:
lContact with other hard materials such as diamond jewellery, nail files, abrasives and mineral
crystals
lDropping or knocking the product on hard surfaces
lRepeated rubbing against hard surfaces

Safety and warranty
Safety text
The sales package may contain several different products and parts (hereafter known collectively as the
Product”), for example a phone with various chargers. The following simple guidelines are intended to
cover all products and parts. Not following the guidelines may result in risks to personal safety or 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 protected 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 medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches)
between a wireless device and an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted
cardioverter defibrillator. Persons who have such devices should also:
lNot carry the phone in a breast pocket.
lHold the phone to the ear opposite the medical device.
lTurn the phone off if there is any reason to suspect interference.
lFollow the manufacturer’s instructions for the implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, 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 Communications Commission) rules governing hearing aid
compatibility. Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. For fullhearing aid
compatibility, you should turn off the Bluetooth connectivity.
FCC’s wireless hearing aid compatibility rules ensure that consumers with hearing loss are able to access
wireless communications services through a wide selection of handsets without experiencing disabling
radio frequency (RF) interference or other technical obstacles.
To define and measure the hearing aid compatibility of 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.
Safety and warranty
© 2015 Vertu Corporation Limited. All rights reserved. 75
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 M3/T4 rating.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for 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.
Aeroplane profile when travelling
Unless specifically requested to turn the phone off, you can select the Aeroplane (offline) profile, which
means that you cannot make or receive any calls, or use other features that require cellular network
coverage, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. You can, however, still make emergency calls.
Use in vehicles
Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded 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 vehicle or its equipment.
Only qualified personnel should installthe phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate your warranty. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your
vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive
materials, in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories. Remember that air bags
inflate with great force, so do not place your phone or accessories in the air bag deployment area.
Keep the product away from children
Keep your Product and allparts and accessories out of the reach of small children and pets. Failure to do
this may endanger them and invalidate your Warranty.
Road safety comes first
Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands free to operate your vehicle while driving. Your first
consideration should be road safety.
Qualified service
Only qualified personnel may install or repair the Product.

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 supplied with power from the Vertu Mains charger (AC-32V), or from a suitable
computer. Do not attempt to remove the battery, as you may damage it.
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 devices to the chargers.
When your 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 batterys lifetime.
Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred cells or batteries. In the event of a
battery leak, 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 immediately with 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 has been damaged,
take it to the nearest service facility for inspection before continuing to use it. If the phone battery has not
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 completely discharged, it may take several minutes
before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be made.
Keep your device dry
Your Product is not fully water-resistant, so keep it dry.
SIM card
The Signature Touch has been designed for use with a nanoSIM card. All other SIM cards are not
supported.
The use of an incompatible SIM card may damage the card or the phone, and may corrupt data
stored on the card.
IMEI number and compliance number
To find the IMEI number, dial the sequence *#06# into the phone. The unique 15-digit IMEI code of your
phone is instantly displayed. Write it down and keep it in a safe place so that you can find it if your phone is
Safety and warranty

misplaced or stolen. You can also find the IMEI number by checking the compliance label (refer to the
phones reference manual to locate this label).
WLAN
Use encryption to increase the security of your WLAN connection.
Headset connector
Do not connect products that create an output signal as this may cause damage to the phone. Do not
connect any voltage source to the headset connector. If you connect an external device or headset, other
than those approved by Vertu, pay special attention to volume levels.
Camera flash
Keep a safe distance when using the flash in the camera. Do not use the flash on people or animals when
they are at close range. Do not cover the flash while taking a picture.
Protect your phone from harmful content
Your phone may be exposed to viruses and other harmful content. Take the following precautions:
lBe cautious when opening messages. They may contain malicious software or otherwise be
harmful to your phone or computer.
lBe cautious when accepting connectivity requests, browsing the internet, or downloading content.
lDo not accept Bluetooth connections from sources that you do not trust.
lOnly install and use services and software from sources that you trust and that offer adequate
security and protection.
lInstall anti-virus and other security software on your phone and any connected computer. Only use
one anti-virus application at a time (using more may affect the performance and operation of the
phone and/or computer).
lIf you access pre-installed bookmarks and links to third party internet sites, take the appropriate
precautions. Vertu does not endorse or assume liability for such sites.
Bluetooth hidden mode
Operating the phone when Bluetooth Visibility is set to Hidden is a safer way to avoid malicious software.
Alternatively, switch off the Bluetooth function completely (this does not affect other functions on the
phone).
Magnetic fields
Keep your phone away from magnets or magnetic fields.
Antennae
Avoid touching the antennae unnecessarily while they are transmitting or receiving. Contact with the
antennae affects the communication quality and may cause a higher power level during operation and
reduce battery life.

If you install a software update, you cannot use the phone, even to make emergency calls, until the
installation has been completed and the device restarted.
Service or software upgrades may reset timers on the phone.
The existence of a certificate considerably reduces the risks involved in remote connections and software
installation. To benefit from increased security, certificates must be used correctly, and they must be
authentic or trusted. Certificates have a restricted lifetime. If they are expired or invalid, check that the
current date and time in your device are correct. Before changing any certificate settings, you must trust
the owner of the certificate and be sure that the certificate belongs to the listed owner.
Network support is required to indicate that a sent message has been received or read. However, this
information may not always be reliable.
You cannot use the voice recorder during a data call or when a GPRS/3G connection is open.
Only compatible devices can receive and display multimedia messages.
If the item you inserted in a multimedia message is too large for the network, the phone may automatically
reduce the size.
Messages may look different in different devices.
If your phone is able to provide over-the-air synchronisation with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync-enabled
servers, the provision of this service does not grant you, and nor do you receive, any rights under any
Microsoft intellectual property with respect to any server software, or server device, that is accessed using
the phone, or with respect to the use of Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync outside of the phone.
When entering contacts or editing voice commands, do not use very short or similar names for different
contacts or commands.
Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy environment or during an emergency, so you should
not rely solely upon voice dialling in every circumstance.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) notice - VM-03
YOUR VERTU PHONE (MODEL: Signature Touch, TYPE: VM-03, FCC ID: P7QVM-03)
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
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 level in all tested frequency bands. 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 network base station. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for
use of the device at the ear is 0.354W/kg. This 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 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 files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available.
Ensure that the above separation distance instructions are 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. Additional SAR
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 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
