If you need to turn off your device's GSM and GPRS wireless connectivity (for example, during aircraft takeoffs and landings), do the following:

1. From the Jump screen, press MENU then select Airplane Mode > Turn Wireless Off.

1. Your device is now offline. You should confirm offline status by looking next to the radio tower icon in the title bar; it should read OFF.
2. To turn wireless back on, from the Jump screen, press MENU and select Airplane Mode > Turn Wireless On.

Note: After you select the Turn Wireless On/Off menu item, it takes a few seconds for the radio to actually turn on or off. During that time, the menu item will appear dimmed and you will not be able to select it.
