How To Use Airplane Mode On iPhone 5
Airplane mode on iPhone disables the wireless features in order to reduce potential interference with aircraft operation and other electrical equipment.
Turn on airplane mode:
- Go to Settings and turn on airplane mode.
- When airplane mode is on, orange color Airplane icon appears in the status bar at the top of the screen. No phone, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth signals are emitted from iPhone, and GPS reception is turned off. You wont be able to use apps or features that depend on these signals, such as connecting to the Internet, placing or receiving phone calls or messages, getting visual voicemail, and so on. If allowed by the aircraft operator and applicable laws and regulations, you can use iPhone and apps that dont require these signals.
- If Wi-Fi is available and allowed by the aircraft operator and applicable laws and regulations, go to Settings > Wi-Fi to turn it on. You can also turn on Bluetooth in Settings > Bluetooth.
