Apple MC983LL/A Tablet User Manual


 
When you try to access the Internet—by using Safari or Mail for example—and you
aren’t in range of a Wi-Fi network you’ve previously used, this option tells iPad to
look for another network. iPad displays a list of available Wi-Fi networks that you
can choose from. Networks that require a password show a lock icon. If “Ask to
Join Networks” is turned o and a previously used Wi-Fi or cellular data network isn’t
available, you must manually join a network to connect to the Internet.
Forget a network, so iPad doesn’t join it automatically: Choose Wi-Fi, then tap
next to a network you’ve joined before. Then tap “Forget this Network.”
Join a closed Wi-Fi network: To join a Wi-Fi network that isn’t shown in the list
of networks, choose Wi-Fi > Other, then enter the network name. If the network
requires a password, tap Security, tap the type of security the network uses, and
enter the password.
To connect to a closed network, you must know the network name, password, and
security type.
Some Wi-Fi networks may require you to provide additional information, such as a
client ID or static IP address. Ask your network administrator what settings to use.
Adjust settings to connect to a Wi-Fi network: Choose Wi-Fi, then tap next to
a network.
Notications
This setting appears when you open an app, such as Game Center, that uses the Apple
Push Notication service. Push notications alert you to new information, even when
the app isn’t running. Notications vary by app, but may include text or sound alerts,
and a numbered badge on the app icon on the Home screen. Turn notications o if
you don’t want to be notied, or to conserve battery life. See “Side Switch” on page 160.
Turn all notications on or o: Tap Notications, then turn Notications on or o.
Turn sounds, alerts, or badges on or o for an app: Tap Notications, choose an app
from the list, then choose the types of notications you want to turn on or o.
Location Services
Location Services allows apps such as Maps to gather and use data based on your
location. Location Services doesn’t connect the data it collects with your personally
identiable information. If you have Wi-Fi turned on, your approximate location is
determined using available information from local Wi-Fi networks. iPad Wi-Fi + 3G also
uses cellular networks and GPS to determine your location.
When an app is using location services, appears in the status bar.
