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 0.486 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

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
standard during Product certification for use at the head are 0.69 W/kg and 0.69 W/kg, and when
properly worn on the body (10 mm gap) is 1.29 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, comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
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 cause
undesired operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Vertu could void the user’s
authority to operate this equipment.
Operation on the 5.15–5.25 GHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use only. The FCC requires indoor
use for the 5.15–5.25 GHz band to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile
satellite systems.
