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 yourhealth care provider.To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for longperiods.

You can also find the IMEI number by checking the compliance label (refer to thephone’s reference manual to locate this label).WLANUse encryption to increase the security of your WLAN connection.Headset connectorDo not connect products that create an output signal as this may cause damage to the phone. Do notconnect any voltage source to the headset connector. If you connect an external device or headset, otherthan those approved by Vertu, pay special attention to volume levels.Camera flashKeep a safe distance when using the flash in the camera. Do not use the flash on people or animals whenthey are at close range. Do not cover the flash while taking a picture.Protect your phone from harmful contentYour 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 beharmful 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 adequatesecurity and protection.lInstall anti-virus and other security software on your phone and any connected computer. Only useone anti-virus application at a time (using more may affect the performance and operation of thephone and/or computer).lIf you access pre-installed bookmarks and links to third party internet sites, take the appropriateprecautions. Vertu does not endorse or assume liability for such sites.Bluetooth hidden modeOperating 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 thephone).Magnetic fieldsKeep your phone away from magnets or magnetic fields.AntennaeAvoid touching the antennae unnecessarily while they are transmitting or receiving. Contact with theantennae affects the communication quality and may cause a higher power level during operation andreduce battery life.Safety and warranty© 2015 Vertu Corporation Limited.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) notice - VM-03YOUR VERTU PHONE (MODEL: Signature Touch, TYPE: VM-03, FCC ID: P7QVM-03)MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVESYour phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to not exceed the limits for exposure to radiowaves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independentscientific organization ICNIRP, and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of allpersons, regardless of age and health.The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption 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, withthe device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SARlevel of an operating device can be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use onlythe power required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors, suchas how close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines foruse of the device at the ear is 0.354W/kg. This phone meets RF exposure guidelines when used either inthe 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, andshould 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 varydepending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band. Additional SARinformation may be provided under Product information at www.vertu.com.USA and CanadaYour phone is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by theFederal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry Canada. These requirements set a SAR limitof 1.6W/kg, averaged over one gram of tissue. The FCC/IC highest SAR values reported under thisstandard during Product certification for use at the head is 0.77W/kg and when properly worn on thebody (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 toreceiving equipment). The FCC or Industry Canada can require you to stop using your phone if suchinterference cannot be eliminated. If you require assistance, contact Vertu Customer Service.TheProduct, or Products,comply with Part15 of the FCC rules.Safety and warranty© 2015 Vertu Corporation Limited. All rights reserved. 87
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 causeundesired operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Vertu could void the user’sauthority to operate this equipment.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 orof operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit the transmission of control or signallinginformation or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology.lThe device for the band 5150-5250MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmfulinterference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.lThe maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350MHz and5470-5725MHz) to comply with the limit on equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP).lThe maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725-5850MHz) to comply with theEIRP limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.In addition, high-power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning that they have priority) of theband 5250-5350MHz, and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to licence-exempt LANdevices.Declaration of ConformityWe, Vertu, declare under our sole responsibility that the following are in conformitywith the provision of Council Directive 1999/5/EC: Model VERTUSignatureTouch, type VM-03; Model Vertu V Collection Wired Headset type WH-5V; andUSB data cable, type CA-225DV.
