Waking Up Your iPad from Sleep Mode
When you put an iPad to sleep, you must wake it up to change its state from sleep
mode to on. To wake up an iPad in sleep mode, do this:
1. Press the Sleep/Wake button on top of the iPad, press the Home button,
or, if you have a Smart Cover, lift an edge away from the screen. A slider
appears on the screen.
2. Drag the slider to the right. The Home screen appears.
The slider forces you to slide your finger to unlock your iPad. That way, your
iPad won’t accidentally turn on if you press its Sleep/Wake button in your briefcase
or purse.
Q NOTE: If you fail to use the slider to unlock your iPad after a few seconds,
your iPad will automatically return to sleep mode.
Turning Airplane Mode On and Off
On many airlines, you are not allowed to access a cellular phone network to avoid
possible interference with the plane’s navigational systems. To comply with this
rule but still use your iPad for other tasks, such as jotting down notes or watching
videos, you can put your iPad in airplane mode by following these steps:
1. Make sure your iPad is turned on.
2. From the Home screen, tap Settings. The Settings screen appears.
3. Slide the Airplane Mode on/off switch to ON, and an airplane icon will
appear in the upper-left corner of the screen, as shown in Figure1-4.
To turn off airplane mode, just go to the Settings screen again and slide the
Airplane Mode on/off switch a second time. It should now read OFF.
