aeroplane mode
Wireless signals off
Aeroplane mode is a device setting that disables wireless communication—cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth—originally intended for use during flights.
The spelling is British; Americans write airplane mode.
People use it beyond aircraft to conserve battery, avoid distractions, or disconnect temporarily: I put my phone on aeroplane mode during dinner.
