iPadmini),youcanuseiPadtoadjusttheirsettings,streamaudio,oruseiPadasaremotemic.
Pair with iPad. If your hearing aids aren’t listed in Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Aids, you need to pair them with iPad. To start, open the battery door on each hearing aid. Next,
on iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Then go to Settings >
General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids. Close the battery doors on your hearing aids and wait
until their name appears in the list of devices (this could take a minute). When the name appears,
tap it and respond to the pairing request.

audioorotherwiseusethehearingaidsuntilpairingisnished.
You should only need to pair once (and your audiologist might do it for you). After that, each
time you turn your hearing aids back on, they reconnect to iPad.
Adjust hearing aid settings and view status. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Aids, or choose Hearing Aids from the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on
page 132. Hearing aid settings appear only after you pair your hearing aids with iPad.
For shortcut access from the Lock screen, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids,
then turn on Control on Lock Screen. Use the settings to:
•Check hearing aid battery status.
•Adjustambientmicrophonevolumeandequalization.
•Choose which hearing aids (left, right, or both) receive streaming audio.
•Control Live Listen.
Stream audio to your hearing aids. Stream audio from Siri, Music, Videos, and more by choosing
your hearing aids from the AirPlay menu .
Use iPad as a remote microphone. You can use Live Listen to stream sound from the
microphone in iPad to your hearing aids. This can help you hear better in some situations by
positioning iPad nearer the sound source. Triple-click the Home button, choose Hearing Aids,
then tap Start Live Listen.
Use your hearing aids with more than one iOS device. If you pair your hearing aids with more
than one iOS device (both an iPhone and iPad, for example), the connection for your hearing
aids automatically switches from one to the other when you do something that generates audio
on the other device, or when you receive a phone call on iPhone. Changes you make to hearing
aid settings on one device are automatically sent to your other iOS devices. To take advantage
of this, all of the devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network and signed in to iCloud using the
same Apple ID.

Switch Control
Switch Control lets you control iPad using a single switch or multiple switches. Use any of several
methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, and even free-hand
drawing. The basic technique is to use a switch to select an item or location on the screen, and
thenusethesame(ordierent)switchtochooseanactiontoperformonthatitemorlocation.
Three basic methods are:
•Item scanning (default),whichhighlightsdierentitemsonthescreenuntilyouselectone.
•Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen location.
•Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires multiple
switches).
Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a menu
appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap, drag, or pinch, for example).
Ifyouusemultipleswitches,youcansetupeachswitchtoperformaspecicactionand

Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
You can use any of these as a switch:
•An external adaptive switch: Choose from a variety of popular USB or Bluetooth switches.
•The iPad screen: Tap the screen to trigger the switch.
Apple Confidential
Appendix A Accessibility 149
•The iPad FaceTime camera: Move your head to trigger the switch. You can use the camera as
two switches: one when you move your head to the left, and the other when you move your
head to the right.
Add a switch and choose its action. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control >
Switches. If you use only one switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
If you’re adding an external switch, you need to connect it to iPad before it will appear in the
list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with the switch. If it connects using
Bluetooth, you need to pair it with iPad—turn on the switch, go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the
switch, then follow the onscreen instructions. For more information, see Bluetooth devices on
page 41.
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, or use the
Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 132.
Turn o Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select and tap Settings > General >
Accessibility > Switch Control. Or triple-click the Home button.
Basic techniques
Whether you use item scanning or point scanning, the Switch Control basics are the same.
Select an item. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item is highlighted (item scanning) or
under the crosshairs (point scanning).
Perform an action on the selected item. Choose a command from the control menu that
appears when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on whether you use
Auto Tap.
•With Auto Tap o: The control menu includes only the Tap button and the More button (two
dots at the bottom). If you’re in a scrollable area of the screen, a Scroll button also appears.
To tap the highlighted item, trigger your Select Item button when Tap is highlighted. To see
additional action buttons, choose More at the bottom of the menu. If you have multiple
switches,youcansetoneupspecicallyfortapping.
•With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothing—the item is automatically tapped when the
Auto Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you haven’t changed it). To see the control menu,
trigger your Select Item button before the Auto Tap interval expires. The control menu skips
the Tap button and goes right to the full set of action buttons.
Turn on Auto Tap. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Tap. To tap an
itemwithAutoTapon,justwaitfortheAutoTapintervaltopass.
Dismiss the control menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is
highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. Or choose Escape from the
control menu. The menu goes away after cycling the number of times you specify at Settings >
General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Loops.
Perform screen gestures. Choose Gestures from the control menu.
Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:
•With Auto Tap o: Choose the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the control menu.
Or, for more scrolling options, choose More, then choose Scroll.
•With Auto Tap on: Choose Scroll from the control menu. If many actions are available, you

Item scanning
Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the entire screen until
you trigger your Select Item switch. If there are many items, Switch Control highlights them in
groups. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the group. When you
select a unique item, scanning stops and the control menu appears. Item scanning is the default
whenyourstturnonSwitchControl.
Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the item
you want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your Select Item
switch. Work your way down the hierarchy of items until you select the individual item you want
to control.
Back out of a group. Trigger your Select Item switch when the dashed highlight around the
group or item appears.
Dismiss the control menu without performing an action. Trigger your Select Item switch when
the item itself is highlighted. Or choose Escape from the control menu.

charging the battery, it is normal for iPad to get warm.
If the interior temperature of iPad exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in a hot
car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may experience the following as it
attempts to regulate its temperature:
•iPad stops charging.
•The screen dims.
•A temperature warning screen appears.
•Some apps may close.
Important: You may not be able to use iPad while the temperature warning screen is displayed.
If iPad can’t regulate its internal temperature, it goes into deep sleep mode until it cools. Move
iPad to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before trying to use
iPad again.
