Using and Cleaning iPad

Handle iPad with care to maintain its appearance. If youre concerned about scratching
or abrasion of the screen, you can use a case or a cover, sold separately.

Using iPad Comfortably

Its important to find a comfortable posture when using iPad, and to take frequent
breaks. Use your lap, or a table, case, or dock accessory, to support iPad during use.

Cleaning iPad
To clean iPad, unplug all cables and turn off iPad (press and hold the Sleep/ Wake
button, then slide the onscreen slider). Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid
getting moisture in openings. Dont use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol
sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPad. The iPad screen has an
oleophobic coating; simply wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil
left by your hands. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with
normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish
its effect and may scratch your screen.

Security Features
Security features help protect the information on iPad from being accessed by others.

Passcodes and Data Protection

For security, you can set up a passcode that you must enter each time you turn on or
wake up iPad.
Set a passcode: Choose Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Turn Passcode On.
Enter a 4-digit passcode, then enter it again to verify it. iPad will require you to enter
the passcode to unlock it, or to display the passcode lock settings.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, which uses the passcode as the key for
encrypting mail messages and attachments stored on iPad. (Data protection may
also be used by some apps available in the App Store.) A notice at the bottom of the
Passcode Lock screen in Settings shows that data protection is enabled.
To increase security, turn off Simple Passcode (a four-digit number) and use a more
robust passcode that has a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and special
characters. For more information, see Passcode Lock on page 157.

Accessibility

21

In addition to the many features that make iPad easy to use for everyone, iPad includes
universal access features.

Universal Access Features

Universal access features make iPad easy to use for people who have a vision
impairment, are deaf or hard of hearing, or have a physical or learning disability.
The accessibility features on iPad include:
Support for playback of closed-captioned content
VoiceOver screen reader
Zoom magnification
White on Black
Large Text
Mono Audio
Speak Auto-text
Support for braille displays

Zoom, White on Black, and Mono Audio work with all apps. Large Text works with Mail
and Notes. VoiceOver works with the built-in iPad apps, and with some third-party
apps you can download from the App Store. Closed-captioning works with videos and
podcasts that support it.
For more information about the iPad accessibility features, go to
www.apple.com/accessibility/ipad.
You can turn individual accessibility features on or off in Accessibility settings on iPad.
You can also turn some accessibility features on or off in iTunes when you connect
iPad to your computer.

137

Turn accessibility features on or off in iTunes:

1 Connect iPad to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPad in the sidebar.
3 In the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access in the Options section.
4 Select the accessibility features you want to use and click OK.
The features you select are available immediately on iPad when you click OK.

VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPad without
seeing it.
VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as you select it. When you select
an element, a black rectangle encloses it (for the benefit of those who can see the
screen) and VoiceOver speaks the name or describes the item. The enclosing rectangle
is referred to as the VoiceOver cursor.
Touch the screen or drag your fingers to hear different items on the screen. To interact
with items on the screen, such as buttons and links, use the gestures described in
VoiceOver Gestures on page 140. When you select text, VoiceOver reads the text.
If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the item. When you
select a control (such as a button or switch), VoiceOver provides instructions for you
for example, double-tap to open.
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and automatically selects and
speaks the first element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner).
VoiceOver also lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait
orientation, and when the screen is locked or unlocked.
Note: VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in International settings, which may
be influenced by the Region Locale setting. VoiceOver is available in many languages,
but not all.

138

Chapter 21 Accessibility

Setting Up VoiceOver
VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPad. Once you turn VoiceOver on,
you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPadeven to turn VoiceOver off again
and resume standard operation.
Turn VoiceOver on or off on iPad: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver, then tap the VoiceOver On/Off switch.
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options
section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then
click OK.
You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See Triple-Click
Home on page 150.
Note: You cannot use VoiceOver and Full-screen Zoom at the same time.

VoiceOver Settings
You can set VoiceOver to give spoken hints, increase or decrease the speaking rate, or
give typing feedback.
Turn spoken hints on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver,
then tap the Speak Hints On/Off switch. Spoken hints are turned on by default.
Set the VoiceOver speaking rate: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver, then adjust the Speaking Rate slider.
You can choose what kind of feedback you get when you type. You can set VoiceOver
to speak characters, words, both, or nothing. If you choose to hear both characters and
words, VoiceOver speaks each character as you type it, then speaks the whole word
when you enter a space or punctuation.
Choose typing feedback: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver >
Typing Feedback. You can choose Characters, Words, Characters and Words, or Nothing
for software keyboards and for Apple Wireless Keyboards.
Use phonetics

In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap

the Use Phonetics switch to turn it on.
Use this feature when you type or read character-by-character,
to help make clear which characters were spoken. When Use
Phonetics is turned on, Voiceover first speaks the character, then
speaks a word beginning with the character. For example, if you
type the character f, VoiceOver speaks f, and then a moment
later, foxtrot.

Use pitch change

In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap

the Use Pitch Change switch to turn it on.
VoiceOver uses a higher pitch when entering a letter, and a lower
pitch when deleting a letter. VoiceOver also uses a higher pitch
when speaking the first item of a group (such as a list or table)
and a lower pitch when speaking the last item of a group.

Chapter 21 Accessibility

139

By default, VoiceOver uses the language thats set for iPad. You can set a different
language for VoiceOver.
Change the language spoken by VoiceOver: In Settings, choose General >
International > Language, then select a language and tap OK.
Some languages may be influenced by the Region Local setting. In Settings, choose
General > International > Region Format, then select the format.
Set the rotor options for web browsing: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver > Web Rotor. Tap to select or deselect options. To change the position of an
item in the list, touch next to the item, then drag up or down.
Select the languages available in the Language rotor: In Settings, choose General
> Accessibility > VoiceOver > Language Rotor and tap to select the language or
languages you want to appear in the Language rotor. To change the position of a
language in the list, touch next to the language and drag up or down.
The Language rotor is always available when youve selected more than one language.

VoiceOver Gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, it changes the gestures you use to control iPad, so that
you can hear descriptions without activating buttons. These VoiceOver gestures let you
move around the screen and control the individual elements that you select. Some
VoiceOver gestures use two, three, or four fingers to tap or flick. For best results when
using more than one finger, relax and let your fingers touch the screen with some
space between them.
There are many ways to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can two-finger tap
by using either two fingers on one hand, or one finger on each hand. You can also use
your thumbs. Try different techniques to discover what works best for you.
If your gestures dont work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tapping and
flicking gestures. To flick, try quickly brushing the screen with your finger or fingers.
Practice gestures: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Practice
Gestures, then tap the Practice VoiceOver Gestures button. Practice the gestures
described in VoiceOver Settings, below. When you finish practicing, tap Done.
Make single-finger flicking gestures quickly, to distinguish them from dragging gestures.

140

Chapter 21 Accessibility

Heres a summary of VoiceOver gestures:

Navigate and Read
Tap: Speak item.
Flick right or left: Select the next or previous item.
Flick up or down: The effect varies depending on the Rotor Control setting. See

Using VoiceOver on page 143.

Two-finger tap: Stop speaking the current item.
Two-finger flick up: Read all, from the top of the screen.
Two-finger flick down: Read all, from the current position.
Three-finger flick up or down: Scroll one page at a time.

Double-tap: Activate selected item.
Touch an item with one finger, tap the screen with another finger (split-tapping):

Activate item.
Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture.

The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPad to interpret the subsequent gesture as
standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your
finger, drag your finger to slide a switch.
You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping
and holding your finger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal
gestures are in force. They remain in effect until you lift your finger, then VoiceOver
gestures resume.
Two-finger double tap: Play or pause in iPod, YouTube, or Photos. Start or stop

the stopwatch.
Three-finger double tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.
Three-finger triple tap: Turn the display on or off.

Rotor Control
The rotor is a virtual control that acts like a physical dial when VoiceOver is turned
on. Use the rotor to change VoiceOver settings and to access additional commands
and features.
Operate the rotor: Rotate two fingers on the iPad screen to turn the dial and choose
items on the rotor. Flick up and down to use the selected item.
The effect of the rotor depends on what youre doing. For example, if youre reading
text in an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken wordby-word, character-by-character, or line-by-line when you flick up or down. When you
browse a webpage, use the rotor to choose whether you hear text word-by-word or
character-by-character, hear just the headers, hear just the links (all of them, visited
links, or links not yet visited), hear form elements, or hear descriptions of images. You
can use the rotor setting to hear all of the text, or to jump from one element of a
certain type (such as headers or links) to another.

iPad at Work
With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, and Microsoft
Exchange, iPad is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPad in
business go to www.apple.com/ipad/business.

Using Configuration Profiles

If youre in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and other
items on iPad by installing a configuration profile. Configuration profiles let your
administrator set up your iPad to use the information systems at your company, school,
or organization. For example, a configuration profile might set up your iPad to access
the Microsoft Exchange servers at work, so iPad can access your Exchange email,
calendars, and contacts.
A simple configuration profile can configure many different settings on iPad. For
example, a configuration profile can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN
account, and certificates for secure access to your companys network and information.
A configuration profile may also turn on Passcode Lock, which requires you to create
and enter a passcode for using iPad.
Your administrator may distribute configuration profiles either by email, by putting them
on a secure webpage, or by installing them directly on iPad for you. Your administrator
may have you install a profile that ties your iPad to a mobile device management server,
which allows your administrator to configure your settings remotely.
Installing configuration profiles:
1 On iPad, open the email message or download the configuration profiles from the
website your administrator provides.
2 For each configuration profile, tap the profile, then tap Install.
3 Enter passwords and other information thats requested.
Important: You may be asked whether a configuration profile is trusted. If in doubt,
ask your administrator before installing the configuration profile.

171

You cant change the settings in a configuration profile. If you want to change settings,
you must first remove the configuration profile or install a new configuration profile
with the new settings.
Remove a profile: In Settings, choose General > Profile, then select the configuration
profile and tap Remove.
Removing a configuration profile deletes the settings and all other information
installed by the profile.

Setting Up Microsoft Exchange Accounts

Microsoft Exchange provides email, contact, and calendar information that you can
automatically sync wirelessly to iPad. You can set up an Exchange account directly
on iPad.
Set up an Exchange account on iPad:
1 On the iPad Home screen, tap Settings.
2 Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then tap Add Account.
3 Tap Microsoft Exchange.
4 Enter your account information, then tap Save.
Your service provider or administrator can provide the account settings you need.
Exchange accounts: Enter your email address, domain (optional), user name, password,
and a description.
iPad supports Microsofts Autodiscovery service, which uses your user name and
password to determine the address of the Exchange server. If the server address cant
be determined, youre asked to enter it. Once you connect to the Exchange server, you
may be prompted to change your passcode to meet server requirements.
5 When setting up a Microsoft Exchange account, tap the items you want to use on
iPadmail, contacts, and calendars.

VPN Access
VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private
networks, such as the network at your company or school. Use Network settings on iPad
to configure and turn on VPN. Ask your administrator what settings you should use.
VPN can also be set up automatically by a configuration profile. When VPN is set up
by a configuration profile, iPad may turn VPN on automatically whenever its needed.
For more information, see Using Configuration Profiles on page 171 or contact
your administrator.

LDAP and CardDAV Accounts

When you set up an LDAP account, you can view and search for contacts on your
company or organizations LDAP server. The server appears as a new group in Contacts.
Because LDAP contacts arent downloaded to iPad, you must have an Internet
connection to view them. Check with your administrator for account settings and
other requirements (such as VPN).
When you set up a CardDAV account, your account contacts are synced with iPad over
the air. You may also be able to search for contacts on your company or organizations
CardDAV server.
Set up an LDAP or CardDAV account:
1 In Settings, tap Mail Contacts, Calendars, then tap Add Account.
2 Tap Other, then tap Add LDAP Account or Add CardDAV Account.
