Multi-Touch Screen

The controls on the Multi-Touch screen change dynamically, depending on the task you’re performing. To control iPad, use your fingers to tap, double-tap, and swipe.

Adjusting Brightness

To adjust the screen’s brightness, double-click the Home button to view the Multitasking status bar. Flick from left to right, then drag the brightness slider.

Brightness

You can use Auto-Brightness to automatically adjust the screen’s brightness. In Settings, choose Brightness & Wallpaper, then turn Auto-Brightness on or off. See “Brightness & Wallpaper” on page 154.

Using Lists

Some lists have an index along the side to help you navigate quickly.

Index

Find items in an indexed list: Tap a letter to jump to items starting with that letter. Drag your finger along the index to scroll quickly through the list.

Choose an item: Tap an item in the list.

Depending on the list, tapping an item can do different things—for example, it may open a new list, play a song, open an email message, or show someone’s contact information.

Return to a previous list: Tap the back button in the upper-left corner.
