FAQ

Turning off your device doesn't always stop all electronic activity. Many smartphones, tablets, and laptops can still retain stored data or be vulnerable to unauthorized access if they're powered back on. A LINQOFF Shield provides an additional layer of physical signal isolation by blocking wireless communications while your device is inside, helping protect your privacy during travel, meetings, or storage.

An easy way to test your LINQOFF Shield is to place your device inside, securely close the flap, and then try calling it from another phone. If the shield is properly sealed, the call should not connect until the device is removed.

No. When your device is fully enclosed inside a LINQOFF Shield and the flap is securely closed, Bluetooth signals are blocked along with other wireless communications. This means Bluetooth headphones, smartwatches, and other wireless accessories will not connect until the device is removed from the shield.

No. A properly sealed LINQOFF Phone Shield blocks incoming and outgoing cellular signals. While your phone is inside the shield, calls, text messages, and mobile data cannot be received or transmitted. Once removed, your device will reconnect to the network and any missed notifications will be delivered, depending on your carrier.

As soon as you remove your phone from the LINQOFF Shield, it automatically begins reconnecting to available cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS networks. Depending on your network provider and signal strength, this typically takes just a few seconds. Any missed calls, messages, emails, or app notifications are usually delivered shortly after the connection is restored.

No. The LINQOFF Shield is designed to block wireless signals without affecting your device's hardware, software, battery, or stored data. Simply remove your device from the shield whenever you want to reconnect.
