SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) notice - Type: VM-06
YOUR VERTU PHONE (MODEL: SIGNATURE S, TYPE: VM-06, FCC ID: P7QVM-06)
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 0.628 W/kg. This phone meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the
normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 5 mm (3/16 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 Innovation, Science and Economic Development
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 is
1.09 W/kg, and when properly worn on the body (10 mm, 3/8 inch gap) is 1.19 W/kg.
Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the
reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain
metallic components, to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this device and your body.
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.
