The Bluetooth specification defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other. A fundamental Bluetooth wireless technology strength is the ability to simultaneously handle both data and voice transmissions.<br /> <br /> Any Bluetooth enabled device, almost everywhere in the world, can connect to other Bluetooth enabled devices that are nearby. Each device can also simultaneously communicate with up to seven other devices at the same time.<br /> <br /> What Bluetooth devices are compatible with my Vertu handset?<br /> <br /> The Vertu Ascent, Ascent Ti and Constellation handets are compatible with most Bluetooth technology-enabled devices. Vertu recommends the Vertu Aerius Wireless Headset and the Nokia 616 Car Kit.<br /> <br /> How do I set up and use Bluetooth on my Vertu phone?<br /> <br /> If your Vertu product supports Bluetooth wireless connections, you can usually activate Bluetooth from the menu titled Connectivity. See our Interactive User Guides (see the link to the right) on this website for instructions. For more information on using your product's Bluetooth connection, please refer to your User Guide.<br /> <br /> To set up a Bluetooth connection:<br /> <br /> - Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth<br /> <br /> - To activate the Bluetooth function, select Bluetooth > On<br /> <br /> - The active Bluetooth connection is indicated by the Bluetooth icon at the top of the display<br /> <br /> - Select "Search for audio enhancements" to search for compatible devices with Bluetooth connectivity<br /> <br /> - The list of found devices appears in the display<br /> <br /> - Select the desired device<br /> <br /> - If required, enter the Bluetooth passcode of the device to pair with the device<br /> <br /> - Your phone connects to the device and you can now start data transfer<br /> <br /> - To view the device you are connected to, select "Active device"<br /> <br /> - To deactivate Bluetooth, select Bluetooth > Off<br /> <br /> How do I troubleshoot a Bluetooth connection on my Vertu phone?<br /> <br /> If you cannot end a Bluetooth connection, check to see if another device is pairing with your phone but not sending data. If so, the device connection has been left open and the only way to disconnect it is to deactivate the Bluetooth link altogether. Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth and select the setting Bluetooth > Off.<br /> <br /> If you cannot find a device using Bluetooth technology, check the following:<br /> > Both devices have activated their Bluetooth connections.<br /> > The distance between the two devices is not over 30 feet (10 meters) or that there are no walls or other obstructions between the devices.<br /> > The other device is not in Hidden mode.<br /> > Both devices are compatible.<br /> <br /> My phone seems always to be low on power or switches off automatically. Why?<br /> <br /> If your phone appears to have problems with power, the problem may be with the handset, the battery, or the charger. Before returning your handset to a Vertu service centre for inspection, please perform the following checks:<br /> <br /> - Fully charge the battery according to the instructions in the User Guide<br /> <br /> - Remove and re-insert the battery<br /> <br /> - Check that you are using a Vertu battery and a charger that is compatible with your handset model<br /> <br /> - If you have access to another battery and charger of the same type as yours, try substituting them to determine if the issue is with the handset, the battery, or the charger<br /> <br /> If you are unable to test your phone or if it still keeps switching off, please return it to the nearest Vertu service centre for inspection.<br /> <br /> My calls are dropped or my phone signal is low<br /> <br /> Dropped calls or low sound quality during calls can result from low signal strength or momentary gaps in network coverage, either at your end or at the other end of the connection.<br /> <br /> In most cases, your operator or service provider is the best source of assistance with issues regarding signal strength.<br /> <br /> Signal strength is indicated by the signal indicators on the left side of the phone's display. The number of indicators increases as the strength of the signal increases and decreases as the signal decreases.<br /> <br /> To increase your phone's signal strength, try moving your phone slightly, or move towards a window if you're calling from inside a building.<br /> <br /> If you continuously experience low signal strength, it may be that network coverage is insufficient or that you have a phone variant which is not designed to work on the frequencies on your area. Your operator or service provider can provide you with more information on network coverage.<br /> <br /> If you believe that the problem may be with your handset instead of the network, please return your handset to your nearest Vertu service centre for inspection.<br /> <br /> My phone won't ring or my ringing tone is too low<br /> <br /> Please try the following troubleshooting tips:<br /> <br /> - Ensure that your handset is switched on and that there is sufficient signal strength (signal strength is indicated by the signal indicators at the left side of the phone's display. The number of indicators increases as the strength of the signal increases and decreases as the signal decreases. To increase your phone's signal strength, try moving your phone slightly, or move towards a window if you're calling from inside a building)<br /> <br /> - With some handsets, if a headset is attached to the phone, the phone will not ring through its own speaker but only through the headset; detach the headset and re-test the phone to determine if this resolves the issue<br /> <br /> - If the phone's profile is set to "Silent", "Meeting", or any other profile where ringing is muted/silenced, it will not ring. Change the profile to the "General" profile and re-test. Instructions for checking and changing your profile are included in your User Guide<br /> <br /> - Ensure that a ring tone has been enabled and the volume is not too low. Instructions for adjusting the volume and selecting a ring tone are included in your User Guide<br /> <br /> - If Call Divert is activated, your calls may be going straight to Voicemail without your phone ringing. Instructions for activating and deactivating Call Divert are included in your User Guide. For assistance with Voicemail, please contact your operator or service provider<br /> <br /> If your phone still won't ring, please return it to a Vertu service centre for inspection.<br /> <br /> My phone wants me to enter a PIN code or a security code. What does this mean?<br /> <br /> Your phone is equipped with one or more codes to protect it against unauthorized use.<br /> <br /> The PIN and PUK codes protect the SIM card which establishes the network connection. The most common code is the PIN (Personal Identification Number) code, which you set yourself and can activate and deactivate by following the instructions in your User Guide.<br /> <br /> The PIN2 code is a PIN code which acts as a second layer of protection for certain features of your phone. It functions in the same way as the PIN code, and more information is available in your User Guide.<br /> <br /> If the PIN code is entered incorrectly multiple times, your phone may request a PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code, which is an 8-digit code provided by your operator or service provider.<br /> <br /> If the PIN2 code is entered incorrectly multiple times, your phone may request a PUK2 code. Please contact your operator or service provider for assistance with your PIN and/or PUK codes.<br /> <br /> If you have already contacted your service provider and the code provided did not work, you will have to obtain a new SIM card from your operator or service provider.<br /> <br /> If your phone is prompting you for a security code and you believe that you have not activated one, try entering the default security code for your handset, which is 12345.<br /> <br /> Only try this once. If your phone still requests a security code, please return it to the nearest Vertu service centre for inspection.<br /> <br /> My phone displays "SIM card rejected" or "SIM card unaccepted".<br /> <br /> The SIM (subscriber identity module) card is a small card inside your phone that establishes a network connection. The SIM card is provided by your operator or service provider, and in most cases, they are the best source of assistance with SIM card problems. Your phone may display a SIM card error message if:<br /> <br /> 1. The SIM card is out of alignment<br /> If the phone has recently been dropped, bumped, or opened, the SIM card may need adjusting. Follow the SIM card installation instructions in your User Guide.<br /> <br /> 2. The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code is entered incorrectly multiple times<br /> This can deactivate the SIM card. If deactivation appears to be permanent, contact your operator or service provider for a new SIM card.<br /> <br /> If either of the situations above apply and you continue to receive this error message, your SIM card may be damaged. Please contact your operator or service provider to have the SIM card tested and/or replaced. Alternatively, please return your phone to the nearest Vertu service centre for inspection.<br /> <br /> My Vertu Aerius Bluetooth headset does not pair with my phone. How do I find out if the headset is faulty?<br /> <br /> Switch on the Aerius headset by pressing the Answer/End button. The LED light should display a rapid series of blue flashes, then flash a steady blue light approximately every 3 seconds. Press the Bluetooth pairing button on the underside of the unit. The LED should now display a steady blue light. The headset is now in pairing mode.<br /> <br /> Put your Bluetooth handset into search mode (full instructions can be found in your handset's User Guide).<br /> <br /> The phone should find the signal from the Aerius and ask if it should pair with the headset. Accept this by pressing "Yes" and confirm with the passkey (or PIN no) "0000" (4 zeros) When pairing is successful the LED on the Aerius headset will return to a 3 second blue flash indication. Pairing is now complete.<br /> <br /> Should the headset fail to pair the first time, attempt the procedure three times, preferably with different handsets. If the headset will not pair with the phone it should be returned to Vertu for further investigation.<br /> <br /> Where is the best place to look for troubleshooting information?<br /> <br /> In most cases, the best source of troubleshooting information is the product's user guide.<br /> <br /> In addition, the interactive demos in the 'Use your Vertu' section of this website include simulations that demonstrate your phone's features and how to use them.<br /> <br /> If you can't find the answer to your question online, please don't hesitate to contact us by calling Vertu Concierge.<br /> <br /> How long is the Vertu warranty period and what does it cover?<br /> <br /> Vertu offers a 24 month Limited Warranty covering certain types of repairs for all new handsets purchased after 1 April 2005.
