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.

Glove mode

Using glove mode, you can wear gloves and still navigate the screen on your device.
When you use glove mode, a cursor ring appears on the area of the screen where a
touch is registered.

mode checkbox is marked.
