For detailed instructions on using Wi-Fi, refer to “6�1�2 Wi-Fi”.

11�1�7 More\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 devices 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, refer to “6�7 Connecting to virtual private networks”.

14 Troubleshooting �����������������
Before contacting the service centre, you are advised to follow the instructions below:
•	You are advised to fully charge (  ) the battery for optimal operation.•	Avoid storing large amounts of data in your phone as this may affect its performance.•	Use Factory data reset and the upgrade tool to perform phone formatting or software upgrading (to reset factory data, hold down the Pow e r key and the Volume up key at the same time). ALL User phone data: contacts, photos, messages and files, downloaded applications will be lost permanently. It is strongly advised to fully back up the phone data and profile via Smart Suite before doing formatting and upgrading. 
and carry out the following checks:
My phone can't be switched on or is frozen •	When the phone can't be switched on, charge for at least 20 minutes to ensure the minimum battery power needed, then try to switch on again.•	When the phone falls into a loop during power on-off animation and the user interface can't be accessed, press and hold the Volume down key to enter Safe Mode. This eliminates any abnormal OS booting issues caused by 3rd party APKs.•	If neither method is effective, reset the phone using the Power key and the Volume up key, (holding both together).
My phone has not responded for several minutes•	Restart your phone by pressing and holding the Power key more than 8s.
My phone turns off by itself•	Check that your screen is locked when you are not using your phone, and make sure the Pow e r key is not mis-contacted due to an unlocked screen.•	Check the battery charge level.
