Putting your tablet in Airplane mode

You can enter Airplane mode (also known as flight mode) to turn off network and Bluetooth functions and use your tablet during a flight. Check with your airline to make sure this is permitted onboard.

Switch your tablet off during takeoff and landing as it may interfere with aircraft electronic systems.

Note: When Airplane mode is active, the icon is displayed in the status area.

Turn Airplane mode on or off by tapping Settings > Wireless & networks > Airplane mode.

Activating or deactivating connections

Open the Application menu and tap Apps > Settings > Wireless & networks to manage your connection settings.

Each connection will have a green check when turned on.

Alternatively, you can tap on the right side of the status bar to manage connection settings.
