How to Work the iPad 2 Buttons
The Sleep/Wake button: This button is on the top of your iPad 2, and you use it to put your iPad
2's screen to sleep, wake it up, and turn it off or on. Hold the button down for a few seconds to turn
on the iPad 2. Repeat to turn it off. Click this button once to lock the screen.
Home button: No matter what you're doing, you can press the Home button at any time to display
the Home screen on your iPad 2.
Application icons: Each icon shown on the touchscreen launches an iPad 2 application. Several
apps come with your iPad 2, and you can add more by downloading them from the iTunes App
Store.
Volume Up/Down control: The upper part of the button increases the volume; the lower part
decreases it.
Side switch: When the switch is set to Silent mode — the down position, with an orange dot
visible on the switch — your iPad 2 no longer makes any system sounds.
How to Use the iPad 2 Multi-touch Screen
To move around on your Apple iPad 2, use the multitouch screen. The iPad 2 has no mouse and no
physical keyboard or keypad buttons; the multitouch screen displays virtual versions of buttons and
controls as required for the tasks at hand. Prep your fingers tapping, pinching, and swiping:
Flick a finger across the iPad 2 screen to scroll through music, pictures, e-mails, contacts, and
more.
Tap against the iPad 2 screen to open applications, play songs, and choose photos.
Pinch and spread with your fingers to zoom in and out on Web pages and pictures, or double tap to
zoom in and out.
The iPad 2 virtual keyboard makes suggestions and corrects mistakes on the fly.
Correct errors in a note or e-mail by holding your fingers against the iPad 2 screen to bring up a
magnifying glass that lets you position the pointer in the precise spot that needs to be edited.
Viewing in Portrait or Landscape
You can view iPad 2‘s built-in apps in either portrait or landscape orientation. Rotate iPad 2 and the
screen rotates too, adjusting automatically to fit the new orientation.
You may prefer landscape orientation for viewing webpages in Safari, for example, or when
entering text. Webpages automatically scale to the wider screen, making the text and images larger.
The onscreen keyboard also becomes larger, which may help increase your typing speed and
accuracy. Lock the screen orientation to keep the screen from rotating.
Lock the screen in portrait or landscape orientation: Double-click the Home button to view the
Multi-tasking status bar, and then flick from left to right. Tap the left-most button to lock the
screen orientation.
Dictionary
For many languages, iPad 2 has dictionaries to help you type. The appropriate dictionary is activated
automatically when you select a supported keyboard.
To see a list of supported languages, from Settings, choose General > International > Keyboards.
iPad 2 uses the active dictionary to suggest corrections or complete the word you’re typing. You
don’t need to interrupt your typing to accept the suggested word.
Accept or reject dictionary suggestions: To reject the suggested word, finish typing the word as
you want it, then tap the suggestion to dismiss it before typing anything else. Each time you reject a
