Message-ID: Date: 3 Mar 91 14:33:00 GMT Sender: news@casbah.acns.nwu.edu (Mr. News) Organization: TELECOM Digest Lines: 21 Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 11, Issue 170, Message 13 of 13 Originator: telecom@delta.eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: hub.eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu A thought struck me as I was reading the thread on Airphones mentioned in several Digests ago. Someone mentioned that you can't use cellular phone or radio while airborne, right? What about use of other electronic equipment like a laptop, GameBoy (Yes, I do play it!), or a TDD? I will be flying transcontinental soon ... I am curious whether the TDD would work if I make a call from the Airphone? I don't know about the sound quality (static)? Before I do this, I need to know if any electronic equipment is prohibited on an airplane while airborne? Could someone tell me excatly what are the rules for operating such equipment on an airplane?
