Bluetooth status

The Bluetooth icon appears in the iPad status bar at the top of the screen: ÂÂ (white): Bluetooth is on and paired with a device.

ÂÂ (gray): Bluetooth is on and paired with a device, but the device is out of range or turned off.

ÂÂ No Bluetooth icon: Bluetooth is turned off or not paired with a device.

Unpairing a Bluetooth device from iPad

If you pair iPad with one Bluetooth device and then want to use a different device of the same type instead, you must unpair the first device.

Unpair a Bluetooth device: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth, then turn Bluetooth on. Choose the device, then tap “Forget this Device.”

Security features

Security features help protect the information on iPad from being accessed by others.

Passcodes and data protection

For security, you can set up a passcode that you must enter each time you turn on or wake up iPad.

Set a passcode: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Turn Passcode On. Enter a 4-digit passcode, then enter it again to verify it. iPad will require you to enter the passcode to unlock it, or to display the passcode lock settings.

Setting a passcode turns on data protection, which uses your passcode as the key for encrypting mail messages and attachments stored on iPad. (Data protection may also be used by some apps available from the App Store.) A notice at the bottom of the Passcode Lock screen in Settings shows that data protection is enabled.

To increase security, turn off Simple Passcode (a four-digit number) and use a more robust passcode that has a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and special characters. See “Auto-Lock” on page 126.

Find My iPad can help you locate a lost or misplaced iPad using an iPhone, iPod touch, or another iPad. You can also use Find My iPad using a Mac or PC with a web browser signed in to www.icloud.com or www.me.com. Find My iPad includes:

ÂÂ Remote Passcode Lock: Remotely lock your iPad and create a 4-digit passcode, if you haven’t set one previously.

ÂÂ Remote Wipe: Protects your privacy by erasing all the information and media on your iPad and restoring iPad to its original factory settings.

The Apple MD510LL/A, MD528LL/A, MD512LL/A, MD330LL/A, and MD513LL/A represent a suite of devices from Apple that have contributed significantly to the landscape of mobile technology. Each model, while serving similar purposes, has its unique set of features and characteristics that cater to different user needs.
