AssistiveTouch
AssistiveTouch helps you use iPad if you have difficulty touching the screen or pressing the 
buttons. You can use a compatible adaptive accessory (such as a joystick) together with 
AssistiveTouch to control iPad. You can also use AssistiveTouch without an accessory to perform 
gestures that are difficult for you.
Turn on AssistiveTouch. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch, or use the 
Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut
 on page 10 4.
Adjust the tracking speed (with accessory attached). Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > 
AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.
Show or hide the AssistiveTouch menu. Click the secondary button on your accessory.
Hide the menu button (with accessory attached). Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > 
AssistiveTouch > Always Show Menu.
Perform a multi-finger swipe or drag. Tap the menu button, then tap Device, More, then 
Gestures. Tap the number of digits needed for the gesture. When the corresponding circles 
appear on the screen, swipe or drag in the direction required by the gesture. When you finish, 
tap the menu button.
Perform a pinch gesture. Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, and then tap Pinch. When the 
pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag the 
pinch circles in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu (for 
example, tap and hold or two-finger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, then tap an 
empty gesture placeholder. Or go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch >   
Create New Gesture.
Example 1:
  To create the rotation gesture, go to Settings > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > 
Create New Gesture. On the gesture recording screen that prompts you to touch to create a 
gesture, rotate two fingers on the iPad screen around a point between them. If it doesn’t turn 
out quite right, tap Cancel and try again. When it looks right, tap Save and give the gesture 
a name—maybe “Rotate 90.” Then, to rotate the view in Maps, for example, open Maps, tap 
the AssistiveTouch menu button, and choose Rotate 90 from Favorites. When the blue circles 
representing the starting finger positions appear, drag them to point around which you want to 
rotate the map, then release. You might want to create several gestures with different degrees 
of rotation.
Example 2:
  Let’s create the touch and hold gesture that you use to start rearranging icons on 
your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, hold down your finger in one spot 
until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your finger. Be careful not to move 
your finger while recording, or the gesture will be recorded as a drag. Tap Save and name the 
gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button and choose your gesture from 
Favorites. When the blue circle representing your touch appears, drag it over a Home screen icon 
and release.
Lock or rotate the screen, adjust iPad volume, or simulate shaking iPad.  Tap the menu button, 
then tap Device.
Simulate pressing the Home button. Tap the menu button, then tap Home.
Move the menu button. Drag it anywhere along the edge of the screen.
Exit a menu without performing a gesture. Tap anywhere outside the menu. To return to the 
previous menu, tap the arrow in the middle of the menu.

Safety, Handling, & Support
Important safety information
WARNING:  Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other 
injuries, or damage to iPad or other property. Read all the safety information below before 
using iPad.
Handling  Handle iPad with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive 
electronic components inside. iPad can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, 
or if it comes in contact with liquid. Don’t use a damaged iPad, such as one with a cracked 
screen, as it may cause injury. If you’re concerned about scratching, consider using a case 
or cover.
Repairing  Don’t open iPad and don’t attempt to repair iPad by yourself. Disassembling iPad may 
damage it or may cause injury to you. If iPad is damaged, malfunctions, or comes in contact with 
liquid, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information 
about getting service at www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq .
Battery  Don’t attempt to replace the iPad battery yourself—you may damage the battery, which 
could cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in iPad should be replaced only by 
Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, and must be recycled or disposed of separately 
from household waste. Don’t incinerate the battery. For information about battery recycling and 
replacement, go to www.apple.com/batteries .
Distraction  Using iPad in some circumstances may distract you and might cause a dangerous 
situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices or headphones (for 
example, avoid texting while driving a car or using headphones while riding a bicycle).
Navigation  Maps, directions, Flyover, and location-based apps depend on data services.
Charging  Charge iPad with the included cable and power adapter or other third-party “Made for 
iPad” cables and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0 or later. Using damaged cables 
or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause electric shock. When you use the 
Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPad, make sure that the AC plug or AC power cord is fully 
inserted into the adapter before you plug it into a power outlet.
Prolonged heat exposure  iPad and its power adapter comply with applicable surface 
temperature standards and limits. However, even within these limits, sustained contact with 
warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. Use common sense 
to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with a device or its power adapter when it’s 
operating or plugged into a power source for long periods of time. For example, don’t sleep or 
place a device or power adapter under a blanket, pillow, or your body when it’s plugged into a 
power source. It’s important to keep iPad and its power adapter in a well-ventilated area when 
using or charging them. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability 
to detect heat against the body.

							 Appendix D    Safety, Handling, & Support 12 9
Hearing loss  Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background noise, 
as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they 
actually are. Turn on the audio and check the volume before inserting anything in your ear. For 
more information about hearing loss, see www.apple.com/sound . For information about how to 
set a maximum volume limit on iPad, see Music settings
 on page 57 .
WARNING:  To pre vent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for 
long periods.
Apple headsets  The headsets sold with iPhone 4s or later in China (identifiable by dark 
insulating rings on the plug) are designed to comply with Chinese standards and are compatible 
with iPhone 4s or later, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch 5th generation. Use only compatible 
headsets with your device.
Radio signals  iPad uses radio signals to connect to wireless networks. For information about 
the amount of power used to transmit these signals, and about steps you can take to minimize 
exposure, see Settings > General > About > Legal > RF Exposure.
Radio frequency interference  Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use of 
mobile devices (for example, in healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although iPad is designed, 
tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emissions, such 
emissions from iPad can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing 
them to malfunction. Turn off iPad or use Airplane Mode to turn off the iPad wireless transmitters 
when use is prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or when asked to do so by authorities.
Medical devices  iPad contains radios that emit electromagnetic fields. These electromagnetic 
fields may interfere with pacemakers or other medical devices. If you wear a pacemaker, maintain 
at least 6 inches (approximately 15 cm) of separation between your pacemaker and iPad. If you 
suspect iPad is interfering with your pacemaker or any other medical device, stop using iPad and 
consult your physician for information specific to your medical device. iPad has magnets along 
the left edge of the device and on the right side of the front glass, which may interfere with 
pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices. The iPad Smart Cover and iPad Smart Case 
also contain magnets. Maintain at least 6 inches (approximately 15 cm) of separation between 
your pacemaker or defibrillator and iPad, the iPad Smart Cover, or the iPad Smart Case.
Medical conditions  If you have any medical condition that you believe could be affected by iPad 
(for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to 
using iPad. 
Explosive atmospheres  Do not charge or use iPad in any area with a potentially explosive 
atmosphere, such as at a fueling area, or in areas where the air contains chemicals or particles 
(such as grain, dust, or metal powders). Obey all signs and instructions.
Repetitive motion  When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on 
iPad, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or 
other parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPad and consult a physician.
High-consequence activities  This device is not intended for use where the failure of the device 
could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.
Choking hazard  Some iPad accessories may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep 
these accessories away from small children.

Important handling information
Cleaning  Clean iPad immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause stains—
such as dirt, ink, makeup, or lotions. To clean:
 •Disconnect all cables and turn iPad off (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the 
onscreen slider).
 •Use a soft, lint-free cloth.
 •Avoid getting moisture in openings.
 •Don’t use cleaning products or compressed air.
The front of iPad is made of glass with a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic (oil repellant) coating. 
This coating wears over time with normal usage. Cleaning products and abrasive materials will 
further diminish the coating, and may scratch the glass.
Using connectors, ports, and buttons  Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive 
pressure to a button, because this may cause damage that is not covered under the warranty. If 
the connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Check for 
obstructions and make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned 
the connector correctly in relation to the port.
Lightning cable  Discoloration of the Lightning plug after regular use is normal. Dirt, debris, and 
exposure to liquids may cause discoloration. To remove the discoloration or if the cable becomes 
warm during use or won’t charge or sync your iPad, disconnect the Lightning cable from your 
computer or power adapter and clean it with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or 
cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning connector.
Operating temperature  iPad is designed to work in ambient temperatures between 32° and  
95° F (0° and 35° C) and stored in temperatures between -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C). iPad 
can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these temperature 
ranges. Avoid exposing iPad to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. When you’re   
using iPad or charging the battery, it is normal for iPad to get warm.
If the interior temperature of iPad exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in a hot 
car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may experience the following as it 
attempts to regulate its temperature:
 •iPad stops charging.
 •The screen dims.
 •A temperature warning screen appears.
 •Some apps may close.
Important:  You may not be able to use iPad while the temperature warning screen is displayed. 
If iPad can’t regulate its internal temperature, it goes into deep sleep mode until it cools. Move 
iPad to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before trying to use 
iPad again.
