Quick Start Guide
In your hands is one of the most exciting devices to hit the market since the original
version: the new iPad 2. This Quick Start Guide will help get you and your new iPad 2 up
and running in a hurry. You’ll learn all about the buttons, switches, and ports. You’ll also
learn how to use the innovative and responsive touch screen, as well as multitask with
the new App Switcher bar. Our App Reference Tables introduce you to both the built-in
apps and some valuable additions from the App Store—and serve as a quick way to find
out how to accomplish a task. We also show you some popular accessories that will
help you get more out of your iPad.

Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start Guide is meant to be just that—a tool that can help you jump right in
and find information in this book—and learn the basics of how to get around and enjoy
your iPad right away.
We start with the nuts and bolts in the “Learning Your Way Around” section—what all
the keys, buttons, switches, and symbols mean and do on your iPad. You’ll see some
handy features such as how to double-click the Home button to multitask; how to
configure the Rotation Lock/Mute switch; and how to interact with the menus,
submenus, and set switches—which you do in almost every application on your iPad.
You’ll also find out how to read your connectivity status and what to do when you travel
on an airplane.
TIP: Check out Chapter 2: “Typing Tips, Copy/Paste, & Search” for great typing tips and more.
In “Touch Screen Basics,” we help you learn how to touch, swipe, flick, zoom, and
more.
In “App Reference Tables,” we’ve organized the app icons into general categories, so
you can quickly browse the icons and jump to a section in the book to learn more about
the app a particular icon represents. Here are the tables:
(cid:1) Getting Started (Table 2)
(cid:1) Staying Organized (Table 3)
(cid:1) Being Entertained (Table 4)
(cid:1) Staying Informed (Table 5)
(cid:1) Networking Socially (Table 6)
(cid:1) Being Productive (Table 7)
In “Other Fun Stuff,” we show you the Electronic Picture Frame feature and how to enjoy
videos on your iPad.

In “iPad Accessories,” we give you a brief overview of some of the more common
accessories you might find interesting.
So let’s get started!
Learning Your Way Around
To help you get comfortable with your iPad, we start with the basics—what the buttons,
keys, and switches do—then we move into how you start apps and navigate the menus.
Probably the most important status indicator on your iPad, besides the battery, is the
one that shows network status in the upper-left corner. You’ll see how to quickly read
the network status icons.
Keys, Buttons, and Switches
Figure 1 shows all the things you can do with the buttons, keys, switches, and ports on
your iPad. Go ahead and try out a few things to see what happens. Try pressing the
Volume Down key for two seconds, double-clicking the Home button, using the
Rotation Lock/Mute switch, and pressing and holding the Power/Sleep key. Have
some fun getting acquainted with your device.

QUICK START GUIDE 5
Locking the Screen Rotation or Muting Your iPad
As soon as you start touching the iPad, you’ll notice the screen rotates amazingly fast.
There are times when you don’t want it to rotate (called Rotation Lock or sometimes
Orientation Lock)—for example, when you have it in your lap or on the table. The
switch above the volume buttons on the upper-right edge of your iPad can be set to do
two different functions. One function enables Rotation Lock, while the other enables
you to Mute your device. (For example, you can mute rings from any incoming
FaceTime video calls.) You can adjust which function you want to use for this side
switch in the Settings app. In that app, select General (cid:2) Use Side Switch to (cid:2)
Rotation Lock or Mute. Please see Chapter 8: “Multitasking and Mute/Lock Switch” for
more details on how to use this switch.
Starting Apps and Using Soft Keys
Some apps have soft keys at the bottom of the screen, such as the iPod app shown in
Figure 2.
For the soft keys to work in the iPod app, you must have some content (e.g., music,
videos, and podcasts) on your iPad. See Chapter 3: “Sync with iTunes,” for help syncing
your music, videos, and more. Follow these steps to use the soft keys in the iPod app:
1. Tap the iPod icon to start the iPod app.
2. Touch the Albums soft key at the bottom to view your albums.
3. Touch the Artists soft key to view a list of your artists.
4. Try all the soft keys in iPod and other apps.
TIP: You know which soft key is selected because it is highlighted—either with dark gray or with
a color. The unselected soft keys are light gray or white.

Menus, Options, and Switches
Once you are in a program, you can select any menu item by simply touching it. In the
Settings app, tap any item in the left column to see more options appear in the right
column. Tap any item with a Greater Than symbol (>) to see another screen with
options that you can adjust, such as Show Each Photo For (see Figure 3).
TIP: You know there is a list of options if you see the Greater Than symbol (>) next to the menu
item.
How do you get back to the previous screen or menu? Tap the button in the top left of
the Options screen that shows the name of the previous screen. If you’re in the Show
Each Photo For screen, for example, you’d touch the Picture Frame button.
You’ll see a number of switches on the iPad, such as the one next to Zoom In on Faces
shown in Figure 3. To set a switch (e.g., from ON to OFF), just touch it.

Reading the Connectivity Status Icons
Since most of the functions on your iPad work only when you are connected to the
Internet (e.g., email, the Web, the App Store, and iTunes), you need to know when
you’re connected. Understanding how to read the Status bar can save you time and
frustration.
Cellular (3G) Data Signal Strength (1-5 bars):
Strong
Weak
Radio Off—
Airplane Mode
Wi-Fi Network Signal Strength (1-3 symbols):
Strong
Weak
Off
You can tell if you are connected to a network—and the general speed of the
connection—by looking at the left end of your iPad’s Top Status bar. Table 1 shows
what you may see.
