Re: [Blind-Computing] Laptop question
Do you mean the wireless button? This is in case you want to turn it off if your going to fly. It is called airplane mode. -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of jerry martin Sent: Friday, October 21, 2011 7:35 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: [Blind-Computing] Laptop question To All: I have a dumb question.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Laptop question
Hi Matthew, How do you make reservations for the flight if the modem is turned off? LOL LOL I couldn't resist! However, would you please explain airplane mode? I can certanily understand different reasons for turning the modem off but, if that is what that button does, why is it referred to as, airplane mode? Thanks much, take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Laptop question
Airplane mode is used to disable all wireless signals both incoming and outgoing from the unit in question either phone or some sort of lap top computer. The reason for this is so that you can use your device on an airplane but not interfere with the on board electronics of the craft.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Laptop question
Not sure how this would apply, but, I know on my netbook I had sort of the same issue and I had to update the bios for it to show the correct charge in xp. I am certainly not saying to flash your bios, it can be really unpleasant if it messes up, but, it's something to research all the same. Good luck getting it figured out. - Original Message - From: Muhammad Babar Shahzad babarant...@yahoo.ca To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2009 7:18 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Laptop question Dear friends greetings, I have a dell inspiron1000 with xp home addition which never reports aquratly the battery time or charge status. would like to know why so and what to do?
