Offline mode allows you to temporarily disable the operation of the radio module, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, while maintaining all the rest of the functionality of the mobile phone. Typically, the stand-alone mode ("Flight Mode") is used when traveling on airplanes or turned on in order to conserve battery power.
Instructions
Step 1
Each mobile phone sends a signal to the nearest radio station for a certain short period of time so that the mobile operator knows which SIM card is being used in the phone at the moment. When the autonomous mode is turned on, the device stops receiving the GSM signal from the mobile network operator, i.e. in fact, the device stops using the SIM.
Step 2
Thus, turning on "Airplane mode" allows you to disable the exchange of the phone with a wireless signal with a telecom operator, which can interfere with equipment installed, for example, in airplanes and hospitals.
Step 3
The mode also blocks the ability to access the Internet and use wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi or GPS. Enabling the phone's battery life has a positive effect on the battery consumption - the device can work much longer, since it does not need to use the available Internet, GSM and GPS functions.
Step 4
Offline mode can be enabled through the corresponding menu in the device settings. So, to enable the option on Android phones, you need to call "Settings" - "Wireless networks" - "Airplane mode". Once applied, the wireless technology will be disabled in the phone. Also, in some models of Android devices, the setting can be enabled by moving the top panel of the screen down and selecting the "Flight" or "Standalone" icon.
Step 5
On Apple phones, the parameter is also enabled through the corresponding menu item "Settings" - "Airplane mode". Move the setting slider to the right to enable the option. If you have a Windows Phone, the offline configuration will be done in the Settings - Airplane menu.
Step 6
After enabling this option, you will be able to use most of the machine's functions that do not use wireless technologies. In offline mode, playback of multimedia files, launching applications (not using the Internet), games are allowed. You can edit office documents using your phone, but you cannot connect a Bluetooth wireless keyboard.
