. About backups for iOS devices iPad in the enterprise To use iPad with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization requires. If you received your iPad from your organization, the settings and apps you need might already be installed. If youre using your own iPad, your system administrator may provide you with settings to enter, or have you connect to a mobile device management server that installs the required settings and apps for you. You may be asked to install a configuration profile, which configures iPad for you, and may define some settings that you cant change. For example, your organization might turn on Auto-Lock and require you to set a passcode to protect the information in the accounts you access. You can see your profiles in Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management. When you delete a profile, the settings and accounts, and everything else associated with the profile, are also removed. If your organization wants you to have certain apps, it might provide you with redemption codes to use in the App Store. When you download an app using a redemption code, you own the app, even though your organization purchased it for you. Your organization can also purchase App Store app licenses that the organization retains but assigns to you for a period of time. An app you receive this way is removed if the organization assigns it to someone else. Your organization might also develop custom apps that arent in the App Store. You install them from a webpage, or you may receive a notification from your organization asking you to install them wirelessly. These apps belong to your organization, and they may be removed or stop working if you delete a configuration profile. If you have questions about the settings, apps, or other requirements for using iPad in your enterprise environment, contact the system administrator at your organization.

Home Home overview Home provides a secure way to control and automate HomeKit-enabled accessories, such as lights, locks, thermostats, window shades, smart plugs, cameras, and more. With Home, you can control any Works with Apple HomeKit accessory using iPad. After you set up your home and its rooms, you can control accessories individually, or use scenes to control multiple accessories with one command. For example, you might create a scene called going to bed that turns off the lights around the house, dims the lights in the room master bedroom to 30%, then locks the front door and lowers the thermostat. If you have an Apple TV (4th generation or later), or iPad that you leave at home, you can schedule scenes to run automatically at certain times, or when you activate a particular accessory (such as unlocking the front door). This also allows you, and others you invite, to securely control your home while youre away.

Tap , enter a name for the scene (such as Dinner Party or Watching TV), then tap Add Accessories. Select the accessories you want this scene to control, then tap Done.

Learn VoiceOver gestures Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPad. When VoiceOver is on, you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPadeven to turn VoiceOver off. When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have different effects, and additional gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items. VoiceOver gestures include two-, three-, and four-finger taps and swipes. For best results using multifinger gestures, let your fingers touch the screen with some space between them. You can use different techniques to perform VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can perform a two-finger tap using two fingers on one hand, or one finger on each hand. You can even use your thumbs. Some people use a split-tap gesture: instead of selecting an item and double-tapping, touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen with another finger. Try different techniques to discover which works best for you. If a gesture doesnt work, try a quicker movement, especially for a double-tap or swipe gesture. To swipe, try brushing the screen quickly with your finger or fingers. In VoiceOver settings, you can enter a special area where you can practice VoiceOver gestures without affecting iPad or its settings. Practice VoiceOver gestures. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap VoiceOver Practice. When you finish practicing, tap Done. If you dont see the VoiceOver Practice button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on. Here are some key VoiceOver gestures:

Navigate and read Tap: Select and speak the item. Swipe right or left: Select the next or previous item. Swipe up or down: Depends on the rotor setting. See

. Use the VoiceOver rotor Two-finger swipe up: Read all from the top of the screen. Two-finger swipe down: Read all from the current position. Two-finger tap: Stop or resume speaking. Two-finger scrub: Move two fingers back and forth three times quickly (making a z) to dismiss an alert or go back to the previous screen. Three-finger swipe up or down: Scroll one page at a time. Three-finger swipe right or left: Go to the next or previous page (on the Home screen, for example). Three-finger tap: Speak additional information, such as position within a list or whether text is selected. Four-finger tap at top of screen: Select the first item on the page. Four-finger tap at bottom of screen: Select the last item on the page. Activate Double-tap: Activate the selected item. Triple-tap: Double-tap an item. Split-tap: As an alternative to selecting an item and double-tapping to activate it, touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen with another. Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture. The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPad to interpret the next gesture as standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold your finger on the screen until you hear three rising tones, and then without lifting your finger, drag your finger on a slider. Two-finger double-tap: This gesture initiates an action or halts or pauses an action in progress. For example, you can:

Play or pause in Music, Videos, or Photos (slideshows). Take a photo or start or pause recording in Camera. Start or stop the stopwatch. Two-finger double-tap and hold: Change an items label to make it easier to find. Two-finger triple-tap: Open the Item Chooser. Three-finger double-tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver. If both VoiceOver and Zoom are enabled, use the three-finger triple-tap gesture. Three-finger triple-tap: Turn the screen curtain on or off. If both VoiceOver and Zoom are enabled, use the three-finger quadruple-tap gesture. Use the VoiceOver rotor Use the rotor to choose what happens when you swipe up or down with VoiceOver turned on, or to select special input methods such as Braille Screen Input or Handwriting.

Choose your rotor options. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver >

Rotor, then select the options you want to include in the rotor. The available rotor options and their effects depend on what youre doing. For example, if youre reading an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-by-word or character-by-character when you swipe up or down. If youre browsing a webpage, you can set the rotor to speak all the text (either word-by-word or character-

Switch Control Switch Control overview If you have a motor impairment, Switch Control lets you control iPad using one or more connected physical switches. Use any of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, invoking multitasking options on devices that support them, and even free-hand drawing. You use a switch to select an item or location on the screen, and then use the same (or different) switch to choose an action to perform on that item or location. Three basic methods are:

Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until you select one. 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). If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific action and customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning screen items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand. You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specific needs and style. Add a switch and turn on Switch Control You can use the following as a switch:

An external adaptive switch: Choose a Bluetooth switch or a Made For iPhone switch that plugs into the lightning port. The iPad screen: Tap the screen to trigger the switch. 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 youre 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 iPadturn on the switch, go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the switch, then follow the onscreen instructions. For more information, see

. Bluetooth devices Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn on Switch Control. Or triple-click the Home button. See

. Accessibility Shortcut Turn off Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select and tap Settings >

General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn off 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 how you configure tap behavior. (To choose an option, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >

Switch Control > Tap Behavior.) With Default on: The control menu usually includes only the Tap button and the More button (two dots at the bottom). If youre 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, you can set one up specifically for tapping. With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothingthe item is automatically tapped when the Auto Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you havent 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. With Always Tap on: Tap to select the highlighted item rather than display the control menu. Wait until the end of the scan cycle, then tap a button to display the control menu. Note: Always Tap applies only when you choose item scanning. When point scanning, the default behavior applies. Work with recipes. A recipe lets you temporarily assign a special action to a switch. For example, you can choose a recipe to turn pages in iBooks or control a game. To create, edit, or launch a recipe, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control >

Recipes. Dismiss the Scanner Menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. The menu goes away after cycling the number of times you specify in Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Loops. Perform screen gestures. Choose Gestures from the Scanner Menu. Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:

With Auto Tap off: Choose the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the Scanner 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 might have to choose More first. Tap the Home button. Choose Home from the Scanner Menu. Perform other hardware actions. Select any item, then choose Device from the menu that appears. Use the menu to mimic these actions:

Double-click the Home button for multitasking Open Notification Center or Control Center Press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPad Rotate iPad On iPad models with a side switch, flip the Side Switch to mute iPad volume Press the volume buttons Show the Search screen Press and hold the Home button to open Siri Triple-click the Home button Shake iPad Press the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously to take a screenshot Swipe down from the top with two fingers to speak the screen (if you have Speak Screen turned on) Use Switch Control on another iOS device. Ensure that you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on the other iOS device, then choose the other device from the menu. 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 when you first turn on Switch Control. You can choose from three scanning stylesauto scanning, manual scanning, and single-switch step scanning. Auto scanning automatically highlights items, one after the other. With manual scanning, you use one switch to highlight an item and another to activate it. Single-switch step scanning uses a switch to move the highlight from item to item. If you take no action after a period of time, the highlighted item activates. 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. Hear the names of items as they are highlighted. Go to Settings > General >

Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn on Speech. Or choose Settings from the control menu, then choose Speech On. Slow down or speed up the scanning. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Scanning Time. Point scanning Point scanning lets you select an item on the screen by pinpointing it with scanning crosshairs. Switch to point scanning. Use item scanning to choose Point Mode from the control menu. The vertical crosshair appears when you close the menu. Select an item. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item you want is within the broad, horizontal scanning band, then trigger again when the fine scanning line is on the item. Repeat for vertical scanning. Refine your selection point. Choose Refine Selection from the control menu. Return to item scanning. Choose Item Mode from the control menu. Settings and adjustments Adjust basic settings. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, where you can:

When you finish, tap the menu button. Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu

(for example, touch and hold or two-finger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Custom, then tap an empty gesture placeholder. Or go to Settings > General > Accessibility >

AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. Example 1: To create the rotation gesture, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >

AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. On the gesture recording screen that asks you to touch to create a gesture, rotate two fingers on the iPad screen around a point between them. (You can do this with a single finger or stylusjust create each arc separately, one after the other.) If it doesnt turn out quite right, tap Cancel, then try again. When it looks right, tap Save, then give the gesture a namemaybe Rotate 90. Then, to rotate the view in Maps, for example, open Maps, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, and choose Rotate 90 from Custom. When the blue circles representing the starting finger positions appear, drag them to the point around which you want to rotate the map, then release. You might want to create several gestures with different degrees of rotation. Example 2: Lets create the touch-and-hold gesture that you use to start rearranging icons on your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, touch and hold your finger in one spot until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your finger. Be careful not to move your finger while recording, or the gesture will be recorded as a drag. Tap Save, then name the gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, then choose your gesture from Custom. When the blue circle representing your touch appears, drag it over a Home screen icon and release. If you record a sequence of taps or drags, theyre all played back at the same time. For example, using one finger or a stylus to record four separate, sequential taps at four locations on the screen creates a simultaneous four-finger tap. Exit a menu without performing a gesture. Tap anywhere outside the menu. To return to the previous menu, tap the arrow in the middle of the menu. Move the menu button. Drag it anywhere along the edge of the screen. Touch Accommodations If you have trouble using the touchscreen or Home button, use Touch Accommodations to change how your device responds to your touch.

Choose the duration in which multiple touches are treated as a single touch. If you have trouble touching the screen just once, turn on Ignore Repeat. Then, if you touch the screen several times quickly, iPad treats the touches as one. To change the amount of time between touches before iPad treats them as one, go to Settings > General >

Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, turn on Ignore Repeat, then use the Gesture Delay plus and minus buttons to adjust the timing. Choose the location where iPad responds to the first or the last place you touch. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, then choose a Tap Assistance option (Use Initial Touch Location or Use Final Touch Location). When you choose Use Initial Touch Location, iPad uses the location of your first tap when you tap an app on the Home screen, for example. Choose Use Final Touch Location, and iPad registers the tap where you lift your finger. iPad responds to a tap when you lift your finger within a certain period of time. Use the Gesture Delay plus and minus buttons to adjust the timing. Your device can respond to other gestures, such as drags, if you wait longer than the gesture delay. Choose how iPad responds when you press and hold the Home button. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button, then choose Siri or Off. Software and hardware keyboards If you have difficulty distinguishing characters on the iPad keyboard or manipulating a hardware keyboard, find help by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Keyboard.

When you use the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPad, make sure the USB cable is fully inserted into the power adapter before you plug the adapter into a power outlet. Lightning cable and connector Avoid prolonged skin contact with the connector when the Lightning to USB Cable is plugged into a power source because it may cause discomfort or injury. Sleeping or sitting on the Lightning connector should be avoided. Prolonged heat exposure iPad and its power adapter comply with applicable surface temperature standards and limits. However, even within these limits, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with a device or its power adapter when its operating or plugged into a power source for long periods of time. For example, dont sleep on a device or power adapter, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your body, when its plugged into a power source. Its important to keep iPad and its power adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body. Hearing loss Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background noise, as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they actually are. Turn on audio playback and check the volume before inserting anything in your ear. For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on iPad, see go to the

. Sound and Hearing website Play music

. For more information about hearing loss, To avoid hearing damage, use only compatible receivers, earbuds, headphones, speakerphones, or earpieces with iPad. The headsets sold with iPhone 4s or later in China (identifiable by dark insulating rings on the plug) are designed to comply with Chinese standards and are only compatible with iPhone 4s and later, iPad 2 and later, iPad Pro, iPad mini and later, and iPod touch 5th generation and later. WARNING: To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. Radio frequency exposure iPad uses radio signals to connect to wireless networks. For information about radio frequency (RF) energy resulting from radio signals, and steps you can take to minimize exposure, go to Settings > General > About > Legal > RF Exposure, or go to the RF Exposure website

. Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices (for example, in healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although iPad is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emissions, such emissions from iPad can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn off iPad or use Airplane Mode to turn off the iPad wireless transmitters when use is prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or when asked to do so by authorities. Medical device interference iPad contains components and radios that emit electromagnetic fields. iPad also contains magnets along the left edge of the device and on the right side of the front glass, which may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices. The iPad Smart Cover, iPad Pro Smart Cover, and iPad Pro Smart Keyboard also contain magnets. These electromagnetic fields and magnets may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device and iPad, the iPad Smart Cover, the iPad Pro Smart Cover, and the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard. Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for information specific to your medical device. If you suspect iPad is interfering with your pacemaker, defibrillator, or any other medical device, stop using iPad. Not a medical device iPad is not designed or intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. Medical conditions If you have any medical condition that you believe could be affected by iPad (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using iPad. Explosive atmospheres Charging or using iPad in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as areas where the air contains high levels of flammable chemicals, vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders), may be hazardous. Obey all signs and instructions. Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on iPad, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPad and consult a physician. High-consequence activities This device is not intended for use where the failure of the device could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage. Choking hazard Some iPad accessories may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep these accessories away from small children. Important handling information Cleaning Clean iPad immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause stains or other damagefor example, dirt or sand, ink, makeup, soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, and lotions. To clean:

Disconnect all cables and turn iPad off (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the onscreen slider). Use a soft, lint-free clothfor example, a lens cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Dont use cleaning products or compressed air. The front of iPad is made of glass with a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic (oil-repellant) coating. This coating wears over time with normal usage. Cleaning products and abrasive materials will further diminish the coating and may scratch the glass. Using connectors, ports, and buttons Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive pressure to a button, because this may cause damage that is not covered under the warranty. If the connector and port dont join with reasonable ease, they probably dont match. Check for obstructions and make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port. Lightning to USB Cable Discoloration of the Lightning connector after regular use is normal. Dirt, debris, and exposure to moisture may cause discoloration. If your Lightning cable or connector become warm during use or your iPad wont charge or sync, disconnect it from your computer or power adapter and clean the Lightning connector with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning connector. Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking of cables. The Lightning to USB Cable, like any other metal wire or cable, is subject to becoming weak or brittle if repeatedly bent in the same spot. Aim for gentle curves instead of angles in the cable. Regularly inspect the cable and connector for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other damage. Should you find any such damage, discontinue use of the Lightning to USB Cable. Operating temperature iPad is designed to work in ambient temperatures between 32 and 95 F (0 and 35 C) and stored in temperatures between -4 and 113 F (-20 and 45 C). iPad can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these temperature ranges. Avoid exposing iPad to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. When youre using iPad or 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 cant regulate its internal temperature, it goes into deep sleep mode until it cools.
