To avoid damaging the SIM card or your phone, follow these steps carefully:

The back plate is made up of two doors. To access the nanoSIM cavity, pull out the quarter turn and rotate it clockwise. This opens the door on the left.

Slide your nanoSIM into the cavity.

Getting started

Finally, close the door making sure it clicks into place.

Access external memory card

You can expand the memory capacity of your phone using a removable microSD card.

Important: Do not attempt to insert another type of memory card as this will not be compatible and may damage the cavity.

To avoid damaging the microSD card or your phone, follow these steps carefully:

Rotate the quarter turn anti-clockwise until the right door opens.

Slide the microSD card into or out of the cavity.

Getting started

Finally, close the door making sure it clicks into place.

Charge the phone

The internal battery needs activating prior to first use, and it is recommended to charge the battery at this point as it may not have been supplied with a full charge. Connect the supplied USB data cable into the charging port on the side of the phone. Then connect the other end of the cable to the USB port on your

Vertu mains charger.

Important: Use only chargers, cables and accessories supplied by Vertu.

If the phone indicates a low charge, do the following:

Connect the supplied wall charger to the wall outlet and then insert the microUSB connector into your phone.

When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger from the phone and then from the wall outlet.

Note: l

You can use the phone while it is charging.

If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the charging indicator is displayed or before you can make any calls.

The phone cannot be activated using the Vertu Wireless Powerpack.

Getting started

Other ways to charge the battery

You can also charge your phone by connecting it to your computer using the USB cable, or by placing it on the optional Vertu Wireless Charging Pad.

Note: Your phone charges quicker when connected to the wall charger.

Battery Saver mode

If the battery is running low and you are unable to charge your Signature Touch, you can use the Battery

Saver feature. This extends battery life by limiting your device's power consumption. Your phone's performance is reduced when Battery Saver is switched on, and email and other apps may not update until you open them.

To enable Battery Saver, touch Apps > Settings > Battery > > Battery Saver.

When Battery Saver is enabled, displays on the status bar. Battery Saver automatically turns off when you charge the phone.

You can also set up your Signature Touch to automatically switch on Battery Saver when the battery charge drops below 15% or 5%. To enable automatic Battery Saver, touch Apps > Settings >

Battery > > Battery Saver > Turn on automatically.

Switch the phone on or off

Switch on: Press and hold the Power key until the phone vibrates.

Switch off: Press and hold the Power key, and then touch Power off.

About music

Google Play Music lets you listen to your current music collection and to buy additional music through

Google Play Store.

The Music Manager desktop application provides a simple way for you to put your music collection into the cloud, unlocking the potential of the Play Music service. The application scans your computer for music files, including files in your iTunes® library, and makes any discovered tracks and albums available to you in Play Music. If your collection can be matched to music in Google Play Store, the tracks do not even need to be uploaded, saving you data transfer time.

Once your music is in the cloud, you can access it from any computer connected to Google.com or from any Android phone or tablet that has the Play Music app installed.

When you first listen to a track with Play Music on your Signature Touch, the song is cached on the phone.

So, over time your favourites are automatically made available for offline listening, such as when you are travelling on an aeroplane.

Note: The Music Manager application and music purchases from Google Play Store are only available in certain markets.

Supported file types

Your Signature Touch will play the following audio file formats: AAC, AAC+, MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A,

OGG and WMA.

Adding songs or albums to Play Music

FAQs

How can I listen to my iTunes music library on my phone?

One easy way is to use Music Manager, a desktop application that puts your music collection into the cloud, unlocking the potential of the Play Music service. The application scans your computer for music files, including files in your iTunes® library, and makes any discovered tracks and albums available to you in Play Music. If your collection can be matched to music in Google Play Store, the tracks do not even need to be uploaded, saving you data transfer time. When you add new music to your computer, Music

Manager can automatically add it to your library too. Music Manager even adds your iTunes playlists and ratings so you can start listening to your favourites right away.

Once your music is in the cloud, you can access it from any computer connected to Google.com or from any Android phone or tablet that has the Play Music app installed.

When you first listen to a track with Play Music on your phone, the song is cached on the phone. So, over time your favourites are automatically made available for offline listening, such as when you are travelling on an aeroplane.

Note: The Music Manager application and music purchases from Google Play Store are only available in certain markets.

To add your music to the Google Play Music cloud

Upload your collection: Sign in to Music Manager and choose where you keep your music.

Music Manager then starts uploading automatically.

Access your music on the web and your phone: After you have set up your Play Music music library, you can access it on your Signature Touch, on any Android phone or tablet or on the web.

Care of your phone

General care

If your Signature Touch phone or any of the accessories are not working as they should, contact your

Vertu dealer.

Always use your Signature Touch in the documented manner. Incorrect usage may affect performance.

Do not attempt to open or disassemble your Signature Touch phone. The only part you ever need to open is the SIM door. Your Signature Touch phone should only be serviced by Vertu-authorised personnel.

Do not mishandle or abuse your Signature Touch phone.

Use only Vertu-approved accessories.

The supplied charger is are only intended for use with your Signature Touch phone. Do not use them with any other device, as this could result in permanent damage to the phone, battery, or charger.

Keep your Signature Touch phone and all parts and accessories out of the reach of small children and pets.

Do not allow your Signature Touch phone or accessories to come into contact with liquids or moisture, or dust and dirt.

Do not expose your Signature Touch phone to extreme temperatures as these may cause the battery to stop working temporarily. Performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.

Do not apply paint or other similar substances to your Signature Touch phone.

Only use a soft, clean cloth to clean your Signature Touch phone. Do not use chemicals, detergents, abrasive substances, or any liquids. Use a cotton swab to clean the camera lens.

Do not insert any sharp objects into any of the audio ports.

Embroidery

Vertu recommends that you avoid the following: l

Direct exposure to strong light, heat and humidity l

Contact with items and substances that may stain or scratch the surfaces

If your Signature Touch phone gets wet, it is essential that you dry it as soon as possible with a soft, absorbent cloth.

Care of your phone

Exotic leathers

Vertu recommends that you occasionally wipe the exotic leather in the direction of the scales with a slightly damp soft cloth, avoiding excessive pressure.

If your phone accidentally gets wet, it is essential that you dry it as soon as possible with a soft, absorbent cloth.

Direct exposure to strong light, heat and humidity should be avoided, as well as contact with items and substances that may stain or scratch the surfaces.

Vertu recommends that you store your handset in a pouch when not in use.

Leather

Each piece of leather used by Vertu's craftsmen is unique. The natural markings present in the hide should be considered part of the individuality of fine leather. All leather can be damaged and should be treated with care.

Avoid the following: l

Exposure to water and high humidity l

Dropping, rubbing or knocking on hard surfaces l

Exposure to extreme temperatures l

Contact with oily substances, make-up and solvents

Non-precious metals

Vertu metals are finished to a high standard and care needs to be taken to maintain their appearance.

Avoid the following: l

Contact with chemicals such as solvents, alkaline and acid solutions, cola-based drinks and exposure to salt water. Wipe with a clean, soft cloth as soon as possible if contact occurs.

Contact with sharp objects l

Dropping or knocking against hard surfaces l

Metal polishes

Precious metals

Precious metals, such as gold and platinum, have a much softer composite and extra care must be taken when handling a Vertu product containing these materials.

Care of your phone

Precious stones

Precious stones are extremely hard and durable, but can be damaged if handled inappropriately. For example, they can be broken, or their settings could be damaged by a sharp impact on a hard surface, causing the stone to become loose or fall out.

Care should also be taken to avoid contact with other jewellery such as diamond rings and diamond earrings as they can cause abrasion and chipping of the stone or the setting. Reasonable care should be taken to not catch the setting with threads that may bend the setting and loosen the stones.

We recommend that your Vertu phone is kept in a Vertu leather case when not being used, particularly when placed in handbags and other luggage.

If the stones appear to become dull from use, the product can be lightly polished using the Vertu microfibre polishing cloth.

Sapphire and ceramics

Sapphire and ceramics are very hard materials but are also brittle and can be scratched by harder materials or objects. They can also be damaged if dropped.

Avoid the following: l

Contact with other hard materials such as diamond jewellery, nail files, abrasives and mineral crystals l

Dropping or knocking the product on hard surfaces l

Repeated rubbing against hard surfaces

Safety and warranty

Safety text

The sales package may contain several different products and parts (hereafter known collectively as the

“Product”), for example a phone with various chargers. The following simple guidelines are intended to cover all products and parts. Not following the guidelines may result in risks to personal safety or data, damage to the Product, or in non-compliance with legal requirements.

Medical considerations

The operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with the function of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturers of the medical devices to determine whether they are adequately shielded from external RF (Radio Frequency) energy.

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) between a wireless device and an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator. Persons who have such devices should also: l

Not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

Hold the phone to the ear opposite the medical device.

Turn the phone off if there is any reason to suspect interference.

Follow 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 your health care provider.

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do not use the headset where it can endanger your safety. Listen to the headset at a moderate level, and do not hold the device near your ear when the loudspeaker is in use.

HAC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) for digital handsets

Your phone complies with FCC (Federal Communications Commission) rules governing hearing aid compatibility. Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. For full hearing aid compatibility, you should turn off the Bluetooth connectivity.

FCC’s wireless hearing aid compatibility rules ensure that consumers with hearing loss are able to access wireless communications services through a wide selection of handsets without experiencing disabling radio frequency (RF) interference or other technical obstacles.

To define and measure the hearing aid compatibility of handsets, FCC references ANSI C63.19 2007 version and 2011 version; ANSI C63.19 standard specifies testing procedures for determining the

M-rating and T-rating of the digital handsets.

Safety and warranty

A handset is considered hearing aid-compatible for acoustic coupling if it meets a rating of M3 or M4, under the ANSI C63.19. A handset is considered hearing aid-compatible for inductive coupling if it meets a rating of T3 or T4, under ANSI C63.19. (Not all hearing-aids have telecoil inside.) This device was tested according to ANSI C63.19 2011 version, and this meets the M3/T4 rating.

This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or Vertu Customer Service for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult Vertu Customer Service.

Switch off the phone in restricted or dangerous areas

Switch the phone off when mobile phone use is not allowed or when it may cause interference or danger, for example near medical equipment, fuel, chemicals, or blasting areas.

Aeroplane profile when travelling

Unless specifically requested to turn the phone off, you can select the Aeroplane (offline) profile, which means that you cannot make or receive any calls, or use other features that require cellular network coverage, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. You can, however, still make emergency calls.

Use in vehicles

Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection, electronic anti-lock braking, electronic speed control, and air bag systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer of your vehicle or its equipment.

Only qualified personnel should install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate your warranty. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials, in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories. Remember that air bags inflate with great force, so do not place your phone or accessories in the air bag deployment area.

Keep the product away from children

Keep your Product and all parts and accessories out of the reach of small children and pets. Failure to do this may endanger them and invalidate your Warranty.

Road safety comes first

Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands free to operate your vehicle while driving. Your first consideration should be road safety.

Qualified service

Only qualified personnel may install or repair the Product.

Safety and warranty

Batteries, chargers and other accessories

If the Product has an internal battery, this is intended to be rechargeable and non removable, being intended for use when supplied with power from the Vertu Mains charger (AC-32V), or from a suitable computer. Do not attempt to remove the battery, as you may damage it.

The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery in a device can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When you believe that the performance of the device has deteriorated (for example, when the talk and standby times on the phone are noticeably shorter than normal), replace the battery if it is removable, or, if it is non-removable, take the associated device to the nearest authorised service facility.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

Never use any charger or battery that is damaged.

Use only Vertu-approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Vertu approved chargers designated for the device.

Use of an unapproved battery or charger may result in a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Do not connect other, incompatible devices to the chargers.

When your charger is not in use, unplug it from the electrical plug and the device. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, as overcharging may shorten the battery’s lifetime.

Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred cells or batteries. In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. In the event of such a leak, flush your skin or eyes immediately with water, or seek medical help.

Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or immerse or expose it to water or other liquids. Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. If the device or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and you believe that the battery has been damaged, take it to the nearest service facility for inspection before continuing to use it. If the phone battery has not been used for a long time, then, in order to begin charging it again, you may need to connect the charger, and then disconnect and reconnect it. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be made.

Keep your device dry

Your Product is not fully water-resistant, so keep it dry.

SIM card

The Signature Touch has been designed for use with a nanoSIM card. All other SIM cards are not supported.

The use of an incompatible SIM card may damage the card or the phone, and may corrupt data stored on the card.

IMEI number and compliance number

To find the IMEI number, dial the sequence *#06# into the phone. The unique 15-digit IMEI code of your phone is instantly displayed. Write it down and keep it in a safe place so that you can find it if your phone is

Safety and warranty misplaced or stolen. You can also find the IMEI number by checking the compliance label (refer to the phone’s reference manual to locate this label).

WLAN

Use encryption to increase the security of your WLAN connection.

Headset connector

Do not connect products that create an output signal as this may cause damage to the phone. Do not connect any voltage source to the headset connector. If you connect an external device or headset, other than those approved by Vertu, pay special attention to volume levels.

Camera flash

Keep a safe distance when using the flash in the camera. Do not use the flash on people or animals when they are at close range. Do not cover the flash while taking a picture.

Protect your phone from harmful content

Your phone may be exposed to viruses and other harmful content. Take the following precautions: l

Be cautious when opening messages. They may contain malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your phone or computer.

Be cautious when accepting connectivity requests, browsing the internet, or downloading content.

Do not accept Bluetooth connections from sources that you do not trust.

Only install and use services and software from sources that you trust and that offer adequate security and protection.

Install anti-virus and other security software on your phone and any connected computer. Only use one anti-virus application at a time (using more may affect the performance and operation of the phone and/or computer).

If you access pre-installed bookmarks and links to third party internet sites, take the appropriate precautions. Vertu does not endorse or assume liability for such sites.

Bluetooth hidden mode

Operating 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 the phone).

Magnetic fields

Keep your phone away from magnets or magnetic fields.

Antennae

Avoid touching the antennae unnecessarily while they are transmitting or receiving. Contact with the antennae affects the communication quality and may cause a higher power level during operation and reduce battery life.

Safety and warranty

Backups

To keep your important data safe, store it in at least two separate places, such as on your phone and on your PC.

It is particularly important to carry out a backup prior to repair or replacement of the Product because content and data may be lost during these operations.

Digital rights management (DRM)

When using the phone, you are required to obey all laws and respect local customs, privacy and the legitimate rights of others, including copyrights. Copyright protection may prevent you from copying, modifying, or transferring images, music, and other content.

Additional care and maintenance

The Product in the sales package contains one or more sophisticated electronic devices. Vertu therefore strongly encourages you to familiarise yourself with the instructions provided with and for these devices.

To help protect your Warranty coverage, you should observe both the preceding “SAFETY TEXT” and the following: l

Software application notices for the phone

The services on the phone, for example Vertu Life, Vertu Certainty and Recommended Apps require a data connection to send up-to-date information to your Vertu phone. If the connection cannot be made, these features will be unavailable or will have reduced functionality. You will need to contact your network service provider for information on the availability of data connectivity when in your home network and when roaming onto other networks.

Some applications on the phone, including those listed above, may connect to the internet automatically.

To prevent this, select the appropriate Connectivity settings on the phone and/or disable the services when roaming.

Before installing updates on the phone, ensure that the phone can connect to the internet, and that the phone battery has enough power (or connect the charger before starting the update).

If you install a software update, you cannot use the phone, even to make emergency calls, until the installation has been completed and the device restarted.

Service or software upgrades may reset timers on the phone.

The existence of a certificate considerably reduces the risks involved in remote connections and software installation. To benefit from increased security, certificates must be used correctly, and they must be authentic or trusted. Certificates have a restricted lifetime.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) notice - VM-03

YOUR VERTU PHONE (MODEL: Signature Touch, TYPE: VM-03, FCC ID: P7QVM-03)

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 0.354 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 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 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 is 0.77 W/kg and when properly worn on the body (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 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.

Safety and warranty

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.

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 or of operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit the transmission of control or signalling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology.

The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.

The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and

5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the limit on equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP).

The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725-5850 MHz) to comply with the

EIRP 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 the band 5250-5350 MHz, and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to licence-exempt LAN devices.
