How do I access my w800i’s Flight Mode?

To do so, simply turn off your phone. Power it up again, and choose the “WALKMAN Player only” option.

Snap those photos while in Flight Mode!

The w800i’s Flight Mode allows you to access the WALKMAN Player function without turning on the phone’s transmitting functions (ideal for use during flights).

You can actually also access the Camera function while in Flight Mode. Simply lock the keypad, open the camera lens and snap away at the (hopefully) pretty cabin crew!
