• RADIO WAVES
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
8
Your device is a r adio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio wave s (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organisation (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, reg ardless of age and he alth. The r adio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard oper ating positions with the device transmitting at its highe st certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
P360X (Body-worn) 0.904W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values st ated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 10 mm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body­worn operation, the device should be positioned at least this distance away from the body.
If you are not using an approved accessory, ensure that whatever produc t is used is free of any metal and that it positions the device the indicated distance away from the body.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a
recorded:
9
hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head or body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent on the device.

11.1.7 VPN
A mobile virtual private network (mobile VPN or mVPN) provides mobile devices with access to network resources and software apps on their home network, when they connect via other wireless or wired networks. Mobile VPNs are used in environments where workers need to keep app sessions open at all times, throughout the working day, as the user connects via various wireless networks, encounters gaps in coverage, or suspend-and-resumes their devices to preserve battery life. A conventional VPN cannot survive such events because the network tunnel is disrupted, causing apps to disconnect, time out, fail, or even the computing device itself to crash.
For more information on VPN, please refer to "6.6 Connect to
virtual private networks".
