Digital Audio Player

Take Care on Airplanes

SUMMARY: Be careful when playing music on take-offs or landings.

While digital audio / portable MP3 players are great to take on long airplane trips, take care to not start the player until the pilots or flight attendants state it is ok to use electronic appliances. Also, if your digital audio player comes built-in with a radio or anything involving cellular technology, it may not be safe at all to use on planes. Be forewarned that flight attendants will ask you to turn off your player as the plane gets close to landing.
