Airplane Mode

A UTRED30-WiFi can be switched to airplane mode to comply with airlines' regulations for wireless transmission in aircraft.

To enter Airplane Mode, press and hold the FN and START/CLEAR/STOP buttons simultaneously for approx. 6 seconds. During this time the Airplane mode symbol () on the display blinks.
Release the buttons when the symbol stops blinking and turns on permanently.
Airplane Mode is now turned on, and all wireless functionality is disabled. Cloud and WiFi connection symbols are off.

After removal of the logger from the aircraft, airplane mode can be turned off, using the exact same procedure.

To leave airplane mode, press and hold the FN and START/CLEAR/STOP buttons simultaneously for approx. 6 seconds. During this time the Airplane mode symbol () on the display blinks.
Release the buttons when the symbol stops blinking and turns on permanently.
Airplane Mode is now turned off, and the wireless functionality is enabled. Cloud and WiFi connection symbols will turn on successively as they go through the process of connecting to LogTag® Online.

 

 

• What would be the reasons for anyone using this highly expensive logger for transit shipments?
• For Airplane mode to be useful, WPS functionality is required, or as a minimum the ability to connect to two different networks.
• There has to be a mechanism by which the WiFi and/or respectively WPS can be turned on with a button combination, that is difficult to replicate acidentally, e.g. press Reset/Connect button, airplane symbol now blinks, hold for 6 seconds until the airplane symbol turns off and the wifi symbol starts blinking. Then press and hold Review/Mark/Upload button for 6 seconds until WiFi symbol remains on.
