Turn Airplane mode on for the duration of an airplane flight, from take-off through landing.
Turn Airplane mode on in other settings where radio signal broadcasting is prohibited. Ask
someone whether Airplane mode should be turned on in other settings such as hospitals.
Turning Airplane mode off (the default setting) lets your
NOOK
manage when the wireless circuitry
is turned on and off, so that your
NOOK
can send and receive radio signals when it needs to.
When Airplane mode is on, the status bar contains this icon:
To turn Airplane mode on or off:
1 On the Home menu, tap wi-fi . The current setting is displayed in the Airplane mode menu.
2 Tap the Airplane mode menu to toggle between On and Off .
You can also toggle Airplane mode on and off from the settings > Airplane mode menu.
On the
NOOK
(Wi-Fi + 3G model), when you turn Airplane mode off, Wi-Fi remains off if
it was off prior to Airplane mode being turned on, and Wi-Fi is turned on if it was on prior
to Airplane mode being turned on.
Checked Baggage
You will want to use your
NOOK
on the flight, of course, but we have to mention this. Rules
are rules. If you travel on an airplane with your
NOOK
in checked baggage, the Federal Aviation
Administration requires that:
• Your
NOOK
is turned off (fully off, not just asleep).
• Your
NOOK
is packed to prevent it from being turned on inadvertently. It should be packed
so that nothing can press against the power button. This might take a bit of care. Packing your
NOOK
with its optional B&N cover on will help.
Caring for Your
NOOK
Here are some recommendations about caring for your
NOOK
. If you follow them, your
NOOK
should have a long productive life.
