Airplane mode

Indexterm: "Airplane mode"

Indexterm: "Flight mode - See Airplane mode"

In Airplane mode, the network and radio transceivers are turned off to prevent

disturbance to sensitive equipment. However, you can still play games, listen to

music, watch videos and other content, as long as all this content is saved on your

memory card or internal storage. You can also be notified by alarms, if alarms are

activated.

Turning on Airplane mode reduces battery consumption.
