Use iPad’s General settings to set up basic

functionality for your everyday use.

See Appendix 1 for a detailed table

outlining functionality of each General Setting

Wallpaper & Brightness

Adjust the brightness of the screen by

dragging the slider, or turn on Auto-

Brightness to use the built-in ambient

light sensor*. When Auto-Brightness is

on, the device's ambient light sensor

measures the current level of lighting

and uses that for future brightness

adjustments.

Screen brightness affects battery life.

Dim the screen to extend the time

between charges

Sounds

The iPad lets you adjust sound settings in two

ways: You can adjust the volume for all apps

on your iPad, and you can specify whether

system sounds play for events such as new e-

mail, calendar alerts, and keyboard clicks.

Your iPad also makes sounds when certain

other events occur, if you want it to. You can

turn on and off the following system sounds:

New Mail

Sent Mail

Calendar Alerts

Lock Sounds

Keyboard Clicks

Passcode Lock

Setting up a passcode on your iPad is

as important part of protecting your

data. Each time you turn on or wake

up your device, it will ask you for

your passcode before you can use

the device.

You'll need to enter your passcode

whenever you:

Turn on or restart your

device

Slide to unlock the screen

Update your software

Erase your device

Forget your passcode?

If you or someone else enters the wrong passcode too many times, your device will disable itself

temporarily

Privacy

through here

Location Services: some apps track your

location to target information (ie Maps,

Google, Bank apps). Highly suggest

googling these settings and individually

tailoring to a level you’re personally

comfortable with.

iCloud

iCloud is Apple's online service

designed to make managing your

iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and

Apple TV, and your iTunes

content easier and more

automatic than ever. Like the

name implies, iCloud is based in

the "cloud". It consists of several

services that work with the apps

on your iPhone, iPod touch, and

iPad, and with iTunes and a

handful of desktop apps on Mac

and Windows. Most iCloud

services are completely free,

although additional storage and

services are available for purchase.

Because the vast majority of iCloud services are free, and because they work automatically and

transparently in the background to backup your data and give you access to your content, you

should absolutely use it.

You log in with your Apple ID and password and can manage the storage options from there

iMessage

If you’re a texter, you’ll love Messages on

iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Now they all

come with iMessage, a service that’s an even

better kind of texting. Because it’s free for

you and anyone texting over Wi-Fi using an

iOS device or Mac with iMessage. And it’s

unlimited.* So say as much as you want.

If you have more than one Apple device,

iMessage keeps the conversation going

across all of them. Send a message to one

person or to many friends at once — along

with photos, videos or links you like. When

someone replies, everyone sees it. With

more people you’ll get more texts, but

remember, it’s iMessage, so every text is free over Wi-Fi.

FaceTime

Make video calls over Wi-Fi from

your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or

Mac to someone else’s. You can

even make FaceTime calls over

cellular networks on iPhone or

iPad.

FaceTime works straight out of

the box — no need to set up a

special account or screen name.

All you have to do is enter your

Apple ID username and password
