Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a
crew member to use your modem while the plane is on the ground. To
prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit
using your modem whilst airborne.

POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your modem
OFF
when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but your modem or its accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death and damages to property. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats;
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Do
not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the
compartment of your vehicle which contains your modem or accessories.
Before using your modem in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the
relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to
be used.
