YOUR VERTU PHONE (Model: Ascent,
Type: RHV-5, FCC ID: P7QRHV-5)
MEETS GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your Vertu phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy recommended by
international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards and guidelines include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of the public, regardless of age and
health and to account for any variations in
measurements.
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 international 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
phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. The
actual SAR level of an operating phone can be
well below the maximum value because the
phone 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 when tested
according to international testing procedures
for use at the ear is 0.28 W/kg.
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 5/8 inch (1.5 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.
SAR values may vary depending on national
reporting and testing requirements and the
network band. Use of phone accessories and
enhancements may result in different SAR
values. Additional SAR information may be
provided under product information at
www.vertu.com.
USA and Canada: The SAR limit of USA
(FCC) and Canada (IC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged
over one gram of tissue. This phone model has
also been tested against this SAR limit. The
highest SAR value reported under this
standard during product certification for use at
the ear is 0.55 W/kg and when properly worn
on the body is 0.90 W/kg. Information about
this phone model can be found on the FCC's
website at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid by
searching the equipment authorization system
using FCC ID: P7QRHV-5.
