11.1.4More...\Airplane mode

Mark the checkbox of Airplane mode to simultaneously disable all wireless connections including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and more.

11.1.5More...\VPN settings

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 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.

For more information on VPN, please refer to “6.6 Connecting to virtual private networks”.

11.1.6More...\Tethering & portable hotspot

This function allows you to share your phone's mobile data connection via USB or as a portable Wi-Fi access point (Please refer to “6.5 Sharing your phone's mobile data connection”).

11.1.7NFC

NFC is a new wireless technology that allows devices to communicate with each other over short distances. Data transfer between the devices occurs through one of two means: either a quick wave or usually just a touch or tap. Communication doesn't have to occur between two handheld devices, like two phones for example. It can also work between a mobile device and a target of some kind - for example, a point-of-sale system at a store's checkout counter or even something as simple as a tag, sticker, poster, decal or card with an embedded NFC chip.
