Chapter 2 Getting Started
Joining a Cellular Data Network
Before you can join a cellular data network on iPad Wi-Fi + 3G, you must sign up for a
cellular data plan with an iPad service carrier in your area. With some carriers, you can
choose a data plan, track your data usage, and change or cancel your plan on iPad.
On some models, 3G, EDGE, and GPRS provide Internet connectivity over the cellular
network available through your carrier’s wireless service. Check the carrier’s network
coverage in your area for availability.
If iPad is connected to the Internet using the cellular data network, you see the
3G ( ), EDGE ( ), or GPRS ( ) icon in the status bar.

contact your carrier to set up an account and obtain a compatible micro-SIM card.
Not all carriers oer 3G data plans.
Internet Access on an Airplane
Airplane mode on iPad Wi-Fi + 3G turns o the iPad radio transmitters to comply

charging status.
Charging Charged
33
Chapter 2 Getting Started
Charge the battery: The best way to charge the iPad battery is to connect iPad to a
power outlet using the included Dock Connector to USB Cable and 10W USB power
adapter. When you connect iPad to a USB 2.0 port on a Mac with the Dock Connector
to USB Cable, iPad may charge slowly while syncing.
Important: The iPad battery may drain instead of charge if iPad is connected to a PC,
to a computer that’s turned o or is in sleep or standby mode, to a USB hub, or to the
USB port on a keyboard.
If your Mac or PC doesn’t provide enough power to charge iPad, a Not Charging
message appears in the status bar. To charge iPad, disconnect it from your computer
and connect it to a power outlet using the included Dock Connector to USB Cable and
10W USB Power Adapter.
Important: If iPad is very low on power, it may display one of the following images,
indicating that iPad needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it. If iPad
is extremely low on power, the display may be blank for up to two minutes before one
of the low-battery images appears.

Maximizing Battery Life
iPad uses a lithium-ion battery. For information about maximizing the battery life of
iPad, go to www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html.
Replacing the Battery
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may
eventually need to be replaced. The iPad battery isn’t user replaceable; it can be
replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP). AASPs also recycle
iPad batteries according to local laws and regulations. For information, go to
www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html.

Using and Cleaning iPad
Handle iPad with care to maintain its appearance. If you’re concerned about scratching
or abrasion of the screen, you can use a case or a cover, sold separately.
Using iPad Comfortably
It’s important to nd 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 o 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. Don’t 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 eect 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 o 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.
