How do I use this shiny, new gadget?

Hopefully, you have already found the Safari app (if you are using your iPad now, you are already in Safari to access this course) If you haven't, the icon looks like a compass rose with a blue background and it is probably located at the bottom, in the "dock"

After you have launched the Safari app, go to the bookmarks (the icon looks like an open book and it is beside the address field) and open the iPad User Guide. This is your "Go To" place for how to use your iPad. (If you are having trouble locating it, click on this link to launch Safari and the User Guide: http://help.apple.com/ipad/4/interface/
(FYI: If you are using your iPad, you can switch back and forth between this course and the User's Guide using the arrows at the top of the Safari browser.)

• At a Glance: will show you the basic equipment (be aware that if they refer to "Sim cards" or "Wi-Fi+3G" or "EDGE"... we don't have those models. Those are the models that have cellular service)
  • iPad Apps gives a good overview of the preinstalled apps
  • The Onscreen Keyboard section is also very useful
• "Getting started" has important information...
  • An important note: In the Cleaning iPad section they tell you how to clean your iPad. Remember, Don't use and cleaners or abrasives to clean your iPad. If you can't clean it with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth, see your tech coordinator.

Take some time looking over the tips in iPad User Guide. If you ever need anything, the guide is there, in your Safari bookmarks, whenever you are online. There are some offline User guides also... and most of them are free :) We will download and install some in the next module "Is there more to this iPad phenomenon?"

...but don't go there yet, the next chapter is more about the preinstalled apps. (click on the next arrow below)
