Configuring Your iPad® Settings for Q-interactive Before you can administer tests with Q-interactive, you need to complete three tasks:

• Configure the Settings for both iPads so they: a) Pair correctly to share stimuli and capture data from each other; b) Display stimuli in a standardized manner; c) Reduce distractions that could disrupt the testing session.

• Install the Assess app from the Apple App Store or iTunes. • Enable Bluetooth.

The screenshots in this document were generated from an iPad operating on iOS 10.1.1. If you are familiar with the iPad, you can quickly configure yours with the Q-interactive iPad Configuration Checklist, located here. Other Resources: The information in this chapter is also presented in the tutorial video, Preparing your iPads for Q-interactive, found under the Support tab on Central (i.e. qiactive.com). You can also sign up for the Onboarding Webinar Series here. Becoming Familiar With Your iPad

finger across the lock slider to unlock your iPad. 3. To turn the iPad off completely, hold the Sleep/Wake button down for a few

seconds until the Slide To Power Off slider appears at the top of the screen. (E) Back Camera. (F) Side Switch. Tap the Settings app and tap General, and then select either Lock Rotation (to lock the screen orientation) or Mute (to mute the sound).

Your iPad will stay in the position you locked it in, regardless of how the iPad is positioned. When the rotation lock is on, an icon with a small lock with an arrow around it appears near the battery icon.

2. If you chose Mute and toggle the side switch to expose the orange dot, the iPad’s Silent mode engages and mutes alert noises. (Note that you can still hear the audio from music and videos on the device’s speaker when the iPad is in Silent mode.)

Installing the Q-interactive Assess App Assess is an app you download from the Apple App Store or iTunes Store found on your iPad or through iTunes on your computer. To install iTunes on your computer, go to apple.com/itunes and follow the instructions.

While you are able to download the app through either a computer or an iPad, the following instructions show how to download the Assess app through the App Store on an iPad. You need to install the Q-interactive Assess app on both iPads.

Note for iCloud users: For data security reasons, Q-interactive stores data in a file intentionally excluded from iCloud. Assessment data will not be permitted in iCloud nor permitted to sync to the Apple Servers.

Step 1: In the App Store, go to the Search bar at the top right and type “q-interactive.” The Q-interactive Assess app appears in the Suggestions section.

Step 2: Tap GET, and then enter your Apple ID credentials to download the app.

turn off apps in the background: 1. Double click the Home button to display all apps that are currently open. 2. Place your finger on the app you want to close and swipe your finger to the top of the screen to

close the app. • For optimal performance, reboot the iPads after each assessment session.
