11.1.5 VPN
A mobile virtual private network (mobile VPN or mVPN) provides mobile devices with access to
network resources and software applications on their home network, when they connect via other
wireless or wired networks. Mobile VPNs are used in environments 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 suspends-and-resumes their device to preserve
battery life. A conventional VPN cannot survive such events because the network tunnel is disrupted,
causing applications to disconnect, time out, fail, or even the computing device itself to crash.

Safety and Use. .................................................
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your phone. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which
may result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines
with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S.
and international sta ndards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986) *
ICNIRP (1996) *
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research
to develop the ANSI Standard (C951).
The d esign of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
1: American National Standards Institute.
2: National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements.
3: International Commission on Nonionizing Radiation Protection.
ANTENNA SAFETY
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality,
damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please
contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
DRIVING SAFETY
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes first. Check the laws
and regulations on the use of phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first responsibility.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions so require.
If you must use the phone while driving, please use one-touch, speed dialing, and auto answer modes.
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the
airbag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury
could result.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious personal injury and possible property damage.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals. Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may
not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your phone must be restricted in certain situations.
PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF EXPOSURE
WARNING! READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
CAUTIONS
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC
96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
BODY-WORN OPERATION
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 15 mm. from the body. To maintain compliance
requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.0 cm separation distance between the user’s Body and
the back of the phone, including the antenna.
The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that
do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov
SAR INFORMATION
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and 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
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as
to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the
ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at
the ear is 1.38 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.97 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among
phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various cellphones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.
For body-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with
the handset at least 15 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/
oet/ea after searching on JYCBLADE.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)
web-site at http://www.ctia.org.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram
of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.

HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC) FOR WIRELESS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
OUR COMMITMENT
We believe that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benefits of digital wireless technologies. We are committed to providing
a selection of compatible devices for our customers who wear hearing aids.
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M4/T3
FCC ID: 2ACCJA002
WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids
to more effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing
aids is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from
one to four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interference making it easier to hear conversations on the phone
when using the hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the telecoil
mode thus reducing unwanted background noise.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH WIRELESS PHONES ARE HEARING AID COMPATIBLE?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box.
A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital
wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling (telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “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 about its return and exchange policies and for information on hearing aid
compatibility.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK WITH A PARTICULAR
DIGITAL WIRELESS PHONE?
You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which works the best with your hearing aids. You may also want
to talk with your hearing aid professional about the extent to which your hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have wireless
phone shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating.

FDA CONSUMER UPDATE
U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION - CENTER FOR DEVICES AND
RADIOLOGICAL
HEALTH CONSUMER UPDATE ON WIRELESS PHONES
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof,
however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the idle mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of
low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but
such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those
studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
2. What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold,
as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit
radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers
of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number
of steps, including the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function;
and
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use on
human health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies
belong to this working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Communications Commission
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some inter-agency working group activities, as well. FDA shares regulatory responsibilities
for wireless phones with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must comply with
FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone net works rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power
than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower
than those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.
