You can also use the home button to wake the iPhone/iPad up when you want to start using it. The Sleep/Wake Button The Sleep/Wake Button does what its name implies: it puts the iPhone/iPad to sleep and wakes it back up again. This is useful if you want to suspend the iPhone/iPad automatically, however if it remains inactive after a short time, it will put itself to sleep automatically. Volume Buttons and Silent/Mute Switch The volume buttons are located on the right side of an iPad and for on the left hand side for an iPhone. The mute button will immediately eliminate all sound coming from the iPhone/iPad. Holding down the volume decrease button will also turn the volume completely off. Lightning Connector Newer iPads come with a Lightning Connector. The main difference between the types of connectors is the size of the adapter that plugs into the iPad. The connector is used to plug the iPad into your PC. You can also use the AC adapter that comes with the iPad to plug it into a wall, which is the best way to charge your iPad. Headphone Jack The headphone jack can be used to connect a microphone or headphones so you can listen to music, TV programmes or video clips. Some new iPad models, like the iPad pro, this option may not be available. Camera An iPhone/iPad has two cameras: a back-facing camera, which is used for taking pictures and videos, and a front-facing camera, which can be used for taking “Selfies” and/or video conferencing. The FaceTime app can also be used similarly to take pictures and/or create a video call with any friends or family who either have an iPad or an iPhone. Likewise this can also be offered for other similar messaging platforms such as WhatsApp. Sim Card Tray This is where you insert your sim card if you have bought an iPad with a 3G/4G connection. Status Bar This is where you can view the Wi-Fi connection, time, battery life, 3G/4G connection etc. 3 Orientation You can view your iPad in two different ways, portrait/landscape, it is personal preference which best suits your needs.

By default, it is used to mute or un-mute your iPad, but you can control how you wish to rotate the screen accordingly. Rather than your screen automatically moving from portrait to landscape each time you turn the iPad, there is the option to lock it in place by scrolling down on the Settings-General screen (above) and selecting lock rotation below “Use Side Switch.” Tap the Store or iTunes & App Store tab on the left. Here, you can change personal information and payment info by tapping on “Apple ID: [email protected]” at the bottom of the screen.

CONNECTING TO WI-FI A number of Hotels/Cafes/Restaurants and various forms of public transport now offer free Wi-Fi which you may not need to enter a password for. However, these are normally public access, so be mindful of internet security if inputting any personal data.

Step 5 6 APP STORE APPS Definition: Apps is an abbreviation for application. An app is a piece of software. It can run on the Internet, on your computer, or on your phone or other electronic device. Apps can be in various forms and most stores/shops/companies now have an app as it is more user friendly and can be downloaded onto a Smart Device/iPad/iPhone. You can use the App Store to search for specific apps by typing the app name in the search bar on the upper right corner of the app store. You can also search for the type of app you are interested in downloading, such as ‘recipes’ or ‘racing game’. The app store will also show the top downloaded apps and also recommended apps for you based on previous downloads. Note: Some apps are free to download, however there are apps where there may be a one off fee or monthly charge. Messaging Lots of people use WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, which are free to download. These apps allows you to message, chat, or send photographs/video, so you can keep in touch with friends and family. They are similar to sending/receiving texts or making/receiving calls, but they’re free to use, as all you need is an internet connection. 7 Step 1 Search for specific Apps by typing in exactly what you want eg Tescos /Debenhams/- Argos You can see if there is a cost associated with the App, click on the Free icon t o begin the downloading process Step 2 Step 3 Tap on Install Enter your Apple ID number 8 Step 4 Step 5 Type in your password, it will not show for The App will immediately start to security reasons, ensuring no one can see what download. is being typed in.

Tap the X, you will be prompted do you wish to delete the app and upon confirming that you do the app will then be removed. Press the home button when finished, which will stop the other Apps from shaking. SAFARI BROWSER The iPad/iPhone uses the Safari browser, which is a fully functional browser that allows you to view web pages, create new tabs in order to keep multiple pages open at the same time, save your favourite places as a bookmark and just about everything you would expect from a web browser. 10 The menu on the Safari browser is kept intentionally simple. Here are the buttons and controls from left to right: • The back button for going to the last webpage viewed. • The forward button for returning to the current webpage. • A bookmark button for saving your favourite websites and getting back to them quickly. • A share button for sending a link to a friend, printing a page or creating a shortcut to the web page on your iPad's home screen. • The address box, which will let you type in a web address and go directly to a website. • The search box, which lets you type in what you are looking for and uses Google to find the results. How to Play Music on the iPad The Music app is where you go to listen to your music collection. Songs will continue playing even when you go to a different app, so you can listen to music while you use the iPad's web browser or play your favorite game. Once you're done listening, go back into the Music app and stop the playback by touching the pause button at the top of the screen. There are also "hidden" music controls on the iPad. If you swipe up from the bottom of the iPad's screen, it will reveal a control panel that includes buttons for controlling your music.
