NOOK User Guide Safety and Care 39
Turn Airplane mode on for the duration of an airplane flight, from take-o 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 o (the default setting) lets your NOOK manage when the wireless circuitry
is turned on and o, 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 o:
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 O.
You can also toggle Airplane mode on and o from the settings > Airplane mode menu.
On the NOOK (Wi-Fi + 3G model), when you turn Airplane mode o, Wi-Fi remains o if
it was o 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 o (fully o, 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.
