The rise in airplane security measures has included increased concern over the use of mobile technology. Using an iPhone on a passenger plane could cause issues with plane communications and navigation systems. You should use the iPhone's airplane mode setting to comply with regulations.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Head to the "Settings" menu on your iPhone main page to initiate the airplane mode. Tap "Settings" at the top of the page and adjust different features on your phone.
2. Toggle the airplane mode on and off to test out this feature on your iPhone. The airplane mode does not allow you to check the Internet, connect to WiFi or make phone calls. Use this feature several times before your flight to get used to the features still available on the phone.

5. Investigate the airplane mode if any new accessories do not work immediately. You may have forgotten to turn off the airplane mode.
6. Utilize basic features on your iPhone while you have the airplane mode activated. You can set alarms, use your camera or balance your checkbook using the calculator on the iPhone.
7. Entertain yourself with the audio and video options. You can listen to music from your iTunes library as long as you wear headphones. You can also watch downloaded videos on your iPhone to get you through long flights.

Tips & Warnings

• Confirm your iPhone is set to airplane mode before you pass the ticket station. The airplane setting is activated when you see a small airplane at the top of your iPhone screen. Take care of the entire setup process before boarding to avoid holding up your flight.
