Touch Screen

• The iPad uses a touch screen.
• To manipulate items on the screen you will use the touch screen.
• You will note many square icons with subheads such as notes or contacts. These are your applications.
• You will also notice a bar on on the bottom of the touchscreen with four applications. We will refer to this area with the bar, called the dashboard, and the applications, as the home screen.
• In order to use one of these applications, lightly tap it.

Volume buttons and the Side Switch

Use the Volume buttons to adjust the volume of songs and other media, and of alerts and sound effects. Use the Side Switch to silence audio alerts and notifications. Or, set it to prevent iPad from switching between portrait and landscape orientation.
