YOUR VERTU PHONE (Model: Ascent, Type: RHV-
3, FCC ID: P7QRHV-3) MEETS GOVERNMENT
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES
Your Vertu phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy. 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
organisations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines 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 set is 1.6 W/
kg*. Tests for SAR are 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 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, the lower the power output
of the phone.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, compliance with the regulations must be
shown. The highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested for use at the ear is 0.46 W/kg. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for RF exposure.
This phone meets RF exposure guidelines when used
either in the normal use position against the ear or
when worn on the body using the Vertu approved belt
holster (type BH3-BL01) designated for this phone
model.
If you do not use the Vertu belt holster type BH3-BL01
for body worn operation, the phone should be
positioned at least 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from the
body. If an alternative holder (carry case, belt clip,
holster, etc.) is used for body-worn operation, it should
not contain metal and should position the phone the
above-stated distance from your body.
In order to transmit data files or messages, this phone
model 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 the above-stated instructions for
body worn operation are followed until the
transmission is completed.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public
is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram
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 SAR information in other regions
