the volume.

Sleep/Wake button

Lock iPad. Press the Sleep/Wake button.

Unlock iPad. Press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then drag the slider that

appears onscreen.

For additional security, you can require a passcode to unlock iPad. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPad models with Touch ID) or Settings > Passcode (other models). See Use a passcode

with data protection on page 41.

Turn iPad on. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Turn iPad o. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the slider appears onscreen, then drag the slider.

•

Entering a passcode

•

Setting up iCloud and iCloud Keychain

•

Turning on recommended features, such as Location Services

•

Activating iPad with your carrier (cellular models)

During setup, you can copy your apps, settings, and content from another iPad by restoring from an iCloud backup or from iTunes. See Back up iPad on page 15 6 .

Note: Find My iPad is turned on when you sign in to iCloud. Activation Lock is engaged to help prevent anyone else from setting up your iPad, even if it is completely restored. Before you sell

For help connecting iPad to your computer, see Connect iPad to your computer on page 18.

Sign up for cellular service

If your iPad has an Apple SIM card (available on iPad models with cellular and Touch ID), you can choose a carrier and sign up for cellular service right on iPad. Depending on your home carrier and your destination, you may also be able to travel abroad with iPad and sign up for cellular service with a carrier in the country you’re visiting. Not available in all areas and not all carriers are supported; contact your carrier for more information.

Sign up for cellular service. Go to Settings > Cellular Data, then tap Set Up Cellular Data and follow the onscreen instructions.

Set up cellular service in another country. When traveling to another country you may choose a local carrier rather than roaming. Go to Settings > Cellular Data, tap Choose a Data Plan, then select the plan you want to use.

Apple SIM card kits are available for purchase at Apple Retail locations in countries with participating carriers.

Connect to Wi-Fi

If appears at the top of the screen, you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network, and iPad reconnects anytime you return to the same location.

Join a Wi-Fi network or adjust Wi-Fi settings. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.

•

Choose a network: Tap one of the listed networks, then enter the password, if asked.

You can set iTunes to sync music, videos, apps, photos, and more. For help syncing iPad, open iTunes on your computer, choose Help > iTunes Help, then select Sync your iPod, iPhone, or iPad.

Sync wirelessly. Connect iPad to your computer using the included USB cable. In iTunes on your computer, select iPad, click Summary, then turn on “Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi.”

If Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPad syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both iPad and your computer are on and connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open on your computer.

Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer

Connect iPad to your computer, select it in iTunes, then set options in the dierent panes.

•

If iPad doesn’t appear in iTunes, make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes, check that the included cable is correctly connected, then try restarting your computer.

•

In the Summary pane, you can set iTunes to sync iPad automatically when it’s attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPad appear in the iTunes window.

•

If you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup, select “Encrypt iPad backup” in the Summary pane. Encrypted backups are indicated by a lock icon , and a password is required to restore the backup. If you don’t select this option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and you’ll have to reenter them if you use the backup to restore iPad.

•

In the Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from your computer to iPad. Changes you make to an account on iPad don’t sync to your computer.

•

In the Info pane, click Advanced to select options that let you replace the information on iPad with the information from your computer during the next sync.

•

In the Music pane, you can sync music using your playlists.

•

In the Photos pane, you can sync photos and videos from a supported app or folder on your computer.

•

If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks, don’t also sync them to iPad using iTunes.

•

If you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, you can’t use iTunes to sync photos and videos to iPad.

Connect iPad to your computer

Use the included USB cable to connect iPad to your computer. Connecting iPad to your computer lets you sync information, music, and other content with iTunes. You can also sync with iTunes wirelessly. See Sync with iTunes on page 18. To use iPad with your computer, you need:

Set the date and time manually. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn o Set

Automatically.

Set whether iPad shows 24-hour time or 12-hour time. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time,

then turn 24-Hour Time on or o. (24-Hour Time may not be available in all areas.)
