Here you will see all of your notifications from different apps. Right now we have no notifications.

Here you can quickly change commonly used settings, like turning the Wi-Fi on and off or changing the screen brightness. If you want to see a full list of all the settings you can tap on the little gear icon at the top of the screen.

You probably want to use the internet at some point, and to do that you have to connect to a Wi-Fi network. To get to the Wi-Fi settings, you tap on the field labeled „Wi-Fi“.

If Wi-Fi is disabled on your tablet, you can tap on the switch to activate it. If Wi-Fi is allready activated the switch should be green.

Once Wi-Fi is activated you should see your network. If you see your network, tap on it‘s name to join the network. If you don‘t see your network, there may be a problem with your Wi-Fi outside of the iPad.

Hint: The little lock next to the Wi-Fi symbol indicates if the network is locked with a password.

Here you have to enter the password of your network. After you typed it in, press the checkmark. If your network isn‘t locked with a password, this step is automatically skipped.

Hint: If you don‘t know the password of your network, have a look at your Wi-Fi Router, as there often is a sticker with the password on it.

If everything worked you should now be connected to your network it should say „Connected“ under the network‘s name. Now you can tap on the Back-Button to go back to all settings.

The next step is to set a PIN on your tablet. This helps secure your device and makes sure nobody can use it without your permission. To set a PIN, tap on the field labeled „Security“.

Now tap on “Screen lock”.

Hint: If you already set a PIN you have to enter it before you can change any settings regarding the PIN.

Here you can choose what kind of screen lock you want to choose. By default it is set to “Swipe”, which means you don’t have to enter a code. For now we will choose a PIN. To do that, tap on “PIN”.

Now you can enter a PIN code. The PIN code has to be between 4 and 17 digits. Your PIN should be something you can easily remember, but it shouldn‘t be something as easy to guess as 1234 or 0000.

Once you are done, tap on „CONTINUE“.

Now you enter it again to confirm it. Then you tap on “OK”.

Now you can choose if you want to be able to see your notifications on your Lock-Screen. After that you tap on “DONE” in the bottom right corner.

If you now lock your device and try to unlock it, you have to enter your PIN code.

Now you swipe upwards.

Now you just enter your PIN code and then press the checkmark.
