Airplane mode
In Airplane mode, the network and radio transceivers are turned off to prevent
disturbance to sensitive equipment. However, you can still play games, listen to music,
watch videos and other content, as long as all this content is saved on your memory
card or internal storage. You can also be notified by alarms, if alarms are activated.
Turning on Airplane mode reduces battery consumption.

menu that opens.
Glove mode
Using glove mode, you can wear gloves and still navigate the screen on your device.

mode checkbox is marked.
