Your iPad

In addition to the iPad itself, you will also receive a

connector cable and an AC adapter plug.

AC Adapter Plug

Rather than include a separate cable just for powering

the iPad, Apple includes an AC adapter plug that

allows you to plug the connector cable into the plug

and then plug into your power outlet.

You can also charge the iPad by plugging the

connector cable directly into a PC USB port.

Connector Cable

The cable that comes with your iPad is used for both charging the iPad and connecting the iPad

to other devices, such as your desktop PC. The cable fits into the slot at the bottom of the iPad

– under the Home Button. There is a flap in the iPad case that you need to lift up to insert the

cable.

Note: The iPad can be setup without a PC and you can download applications, music and

books to it without ever plugging it into a PC.

If you haven’t already switched on your iPad, ensure that it is charged, then

press and hold the On/Off button for several seconds to switch it on. The apple

logo will appear on screen for a few seconds.

Slide your finger to the right on the ‘Slide to unlock’ message to open the iPad.

(If the message disappears, click the Home Button at the bottom/centre of the

iPad to display it again.)


Using your iPad

The iPad touchscreen allows you to swipe (drag) your finger across the screen to move

between screens or tap an icon to access an app.

You use the pads of your fingertips (not your fingernails). There are several methods you can

use for getting things done on an iPad, including:

Tap Tap the item once with your finger to open an application, choose

a field such as a search box, select an item in a list or select a

backward arrow to move back one screen.

Drag Also referred to as swiping. Move around the screen by pressing

your finger to the screen and dragging to the right, left, up, or

down.

Pinch / Spread You can pinch your fingers together or move them apart on the

screen when you're looking at photos, maps, web pages, or e-

mail messages to quickly reduce or enlarge them.

Press If you're in any application where you can select text, such as

email, or if you're on a web page, pressing and holding text will

select a word and bring up editing tools that allow you to select,

cut, or copy text.


IPad Features

There are only a few buttons and features

on the exterior of your iPad. These include

a navigational tool and the ability to put

your iPad to sleep and wake it up.

Home Button

The iPad's Home Button is used to close

an app and return to the Home Screen.

You can also use the Home Button to wake

the iPad up when you want to start using it.

Double-clicking the Home Button will allow you to scroll through all open applications and click

on an app to open it, or Swipe up to close the app.

Home Screen

The Home Screen is the screen you see when you first open your iPad. This is where your

apps are stored and accessed. Your iPad comes with some standard apps, and more can be

added from the App Store. Details of how to add apps and create folders are given later in this

guide.

If you have more apps than fit on the Home screen, you can use your finger to swipe right to left

to view the next screen. Swipe left to right to return to the Home Screen.

At the top left of the Home Screen an indicator shows whether you are connected to Wi-Fi or

3G/4G and the strength of the signal.

At the top right of the screen, a battery indicator shows how much battery life you

have left before you need to recharge it. (A warning message appears when you reach 20%

and then 10% battery life). You can change the settings to display the percentage battery

remaining and this is explained later in the User Guide.


Screen Orientation

The screen can be viewed in either portrait or landscape mode, simply by rotating the screen.

You can lock the orientation to prevent it from turning. This is covered later in the guide.

The Sleep/Wake Button

The Sleep/Wake Button puts the iPad into sleep mode and wakes it back up again. In sleep

mode, this saves the battery and prevents anything from happening if you touch the screen.

You don't have to worry about pressing the button every time you stop using it. If the iPad

remains inactive, it will put itself into sleep mode. Simply press the button again to wake it up.

Alternatively, you can use the Home Button to wake it.

Turn your iPad on/off

While the Sleep/Wake Button is sometimes referred to as the On/Off Button, clicking it once will

not turn the iPad off. Powering down the iPad requires you to hold this button down for several

seconds and then confirm your intention by swiping a confirmation message.

Hold down the same button for several seconds to switch your iPad back on.

Volume Buttons and Mute Switch

The volume buttons are located on the upper right side of the iPad. The mute button will

immediately eliminate all sound coming from the iPad. Holding down the volume decrease

button will also turn the volume completely off.

Headphone Jack

The headphone jack is a 3.5 mm input that will accept sound signals as well as outputting

sound, so it can be used to hook up a microphone or a headset with a microphone.

Practice turning off your iPad and then switching it back on again. Locate the

volume buttons and use them to change the volume levels.


Camera

The iPad has two cameras: a back-facing camera, which is used for taking pictures and video,

and a front-facing camera, which is used for video conferencing.

You can access the camera by clicking on the Camera app or by swiping up on the camera icon

which is located bottom right of the Home Screen when the iPad is in sleep mode.

To take a photo or start recording a video, click the round button.

You can slide the options up and down to switch between

Photo and Video options.

Photo and Video storage

Photos and video recordings are stored in the Photos app.

Photos are stored and can be accessed from either the Photos folder or from Albums.

The Photos folder stores photos by date, so you can easily find them.

Albums allows you to view your entire camera roll and locate a photo.

To delete a photo: click on the photo and then click the dustbin icon to delete it.

Access the camera and take some photos. Access the Photos app and review

your photos in your Camera Roll. Select a photo and delete it.


Your Apple ID

Create an Apple ID

You will need an Apple ID to set up a personal account. This can be used to download new

applications or music for example. If you already have an Apple ID linked to a personal email,

then you can use this. Otherwise, you should set up a new Apple ID now.

Create an Apple ID now, if you don’t already have one.

You can set your Apple ID up on any computer by accessing the website:

https://appleid.apple.com/account

the list of questions, then enter the appropriate answer.

The questions are pre-set and you may find that due to the nature of them that you need to note

down the details in a safe place (not on your iPad). The security questions will only be needed

if you forget your Apple ID details.

The final stage of setting up your Apple ID is to select which announcements and updates you

receive. You can deselect these options to reduce the number of emails you receive.

Deselect these boxes to reduce

Your Apple ID account will be displayed on screen for you to verify the details.

Note – you can add details of a credit card if you wish. A credit card is required if you intend to

download applications, music etc which require payment.


Using your iTunes Voucher

You have received a £10 iTunes voucher for your own personal use. The voucher can be used

to download items from the iTunes store, including apps, games, films, music, etc.

means that each time the iPad is locked, you will need to enter the passcode to unlock it. The

iPad will only lock if not in use, or if you press the On/Off button briefly.

When setting a new personal passcode, you must ensure that it follows these rules:

Must be 5 digits long

Cannot include Ascending or Descending numbers

Cannot be the same as the 2 previous passcodes used on the iPad

Please ensure that you now change the pre-set passcode to a memorable passcode that

is personal to you. You are required to change your password every 30 days.

Slide your finger left to right on the ‘slide to unlock’ message to unlock the iPad

Health and Safety

Operating temperature

Your iPad is designed to work in temperatures between 0° and 35° C and can be stored in

temperatures between 20° and 45° C. Your iPad can be damaged and battery life shortened if

stored or operated outside of these temperature ranges.

Avoid exposing your iPad to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. When you’re using

the iPad or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm.

If the interior temperature of the iPad exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature:

iPad stops charging

The screen dims

A temperature warning screen appears

Some apps may close

Important: You may not be able to use the iPad while the temperature warning screen is

displayed. If your iPad can’t regulate its internal temperature, it goes into deep sleep mode until

it cools. Move it to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before trying to

use it again.

Battery

Don’t attempt to replace the iPad battery yourself—you may damage the battery, which could

cause overheating and injury.

Distraction

Using iPad in some circumstances may distract you and might cause a dangerous situation, for

example whilst driving. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices or

headphones.

Navigation

Maps are subject to change and may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. Comply with

road signs and the laws and regulations in the areas where you are using your iPad and always

use common sense.


Charging

Only charge your iPad with the included USB cable and power adapter. Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to iPad or other property.

When you use the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPad, make sure the USB cable is fully inserted into the power adapter before you plug the adapter into a power outlet.
