A mobile virtual private network (mobile VPN or mVPN) provides
mobile phones with access to network resources and software
applications on their home network, when they connect via other

where workers need to keep application 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 phones to preserve battery life. A
conventional VPN can't survive such events because the network
tunnel is disrupted, causing applications to disconnect, time out,
fail, or even the computing device itself to crash.

For more information on VPN, please refer to "6.7 Connecting to

virtual private networks"

Product safety information

RF exposure

General statement on RF energy

Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power
level at which your phone transmits.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP and
include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all
persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg
and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear
was 0.90 W/kg
5 mm) the highest SAR value was 1.69 W/kg

As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used
in other positions, such as on the body as described in this user
guide, see page 91 for more information.

The tests are carried out in accordance with[CENELEC EN50360] [IEC

62209-1].

SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest transmitting
power and where supported with multiple simultaneous
transmitters. The actual SAR of this device while operating
is typically well below that indicated above. This is due to
automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure
it only uses the minimum power required to communicate
with the network.

Body worn operation

To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone
must be used with a minimum of 5 mm separation from the body.

Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF
exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits and may use
more power than necessary.

Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields

For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields,
the World Health Organisation (WHO) provides the following advice
in Fact Sheet 193 Electromagnetic fields and public health: mobile
phones (October 2014)

Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of
mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose
to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the
length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to keep mobile
phones away from the head and body.

Further information on exposure to radio waves can be obtained
from the WHO http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/
fs193/en/

14 Regulatory information

The following safety approvals and notices apply in specific
regions as noted.

Hereby, Vodafone declares that the radio equipment type VFD
620 is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU.

Interference

Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
To achieve this use the phone on the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.

The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source, increasing
the separation between them may reduce the interference.
You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.

Medical devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.

Hospitals

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical
equipment.

98

Aircraft

Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do
so by airport or airline staff.

Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft, if your device offers a ‘flight mode’ this must
be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.

Interference in cars

Please note that because of possible interference to electronic
equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile
phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external
antenna is included in the installation.

Explosive environments

Petrol stations and explosive atmospheres

In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or
other radio equipment.

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling
areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust, or metal powders.

Blasting Caps and Areas

Turn off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting
area or in areas posted turn off “two-way radios” or “electronic
devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
