3 Use of mobile devices on board aircraft is explicitly prohibited by many airlines companies, especially during take-off and landing. The built-in Mobile Broadband module on your computer is a low-power radio transceiver. When it is turned on, it intermittently receives and transmits radio frequency RF energy which could cause interference with the operation of the airplane communication or navigation system. Refer to rules or regulations of your airline company for Mobile Broadband use. Never enable Mobile Broadband feature on your computer unless you are explicitly permitted to do so
