Basic buttons

Status bar: The status bar is where you can determine your internet connection. The more bars that are white the stronger your internet signal. The Face time Camera: The face time camera is the dot at the top of your Ipad. This is the camera that is used to Skype so that people can see your face. App Icons: Application icons are little squares that name different functions. For example safari is your internet browser, email, music, etc. When you touch these application icons the program/ application will open.

By using your fingers or stylus pen you can swipe either left or right to get a new screen (Search screen = farthest left, main screen = middle, App screens all of the others). Home: The home button is the circular button centered on the bottom of your Ipad. If you hit it once it will take you to the main screen where the settings, calendar, and other apps are located. Sleep/Wake: The sleep/wake button is also the power on/off button. If you push the button once it will either put your Ipad to sleep or wake it up. If you were to hold down the button then on the screen a red sliding car would appear. If you want to turn off your Ipad you would slide the red touch screen button.

If you were to push the top part it will turn your volume up. If you were to push the bottom part of the button then the volume would decrease.
