while driving, see Important safety information
 on page 12 8 .
Note:  The use of certain accessories with iPad may affect wireless performance. Not all iPhone 
and iPod touch accessories are fully compatible with iPad. Turning on airplane mode may 
eliminate audio interference between iPad and an accessory. Reorienting or relocating iPad and 
the connected accessory may improve wireless performance.
Turn on Bluetooth. Go to Settings > Bluetooth.
Connect to a Bluetooth device. Tap the device in the Devices list, then follow the onscreen 
instructions to connect to it. See the documentation that came with the device for information 
about Bluetooth pairing. For information about using an Apple Wireless Keyboard, see  Use an

 on page 13 4 . 
						

							 Chapter  3    Basics 33
Privacy
Privacy settings let you see and control which apps and system services have access to Location 
Services, and to contacts, calendars, reminders, and photos.
Location Services lets location-based apps such as Maps, Weather, and Camera gather and 
use data indicating your location. Your approximate location is determined using available 
information from local Wi-Fi networks, if you have Wi-Fi turned on. The location data collected 
by Apple isn’t collected in a form that personally identifies you. When an app is using Location 
Services, 
 appears in the menu bar.
Turn Location Services on or off. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn it off 
for some or for all apps and services. If you turn off Location Services, you’re prompted to turn it 
on again the next time an app or service tries to use it.
Turn Location Services off for system services. Several system services, such as location-based 
iAds, use Location Services. To see their status, turn them on or off, or show 
 in the menu 
bar when these services use your location, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > 
System Services.
Turn off access to private information. Go to Settings > Privacy. You can see which apps and 
features have requested and been granted access to the following information:
 •Contacts
 •Calendar
 •Reminders
 •Photos
 •Bluetooth Sharing
 •Microphone 
 •Twitter
 •Facebook
You can turn off each app’s access to each category of information. Review the terms and privacy 
policy for each third-party app to understand how it uses the data it’s requesting.
Security
Security features help protect the information on your iPad from being accessed by others.
Use a passcode with data protection
For better security, you can set a passcode that must be entered each time you turn on or wake 
up iPad.
Set a passcode. Go to Settings > Passcode and set a 4-digit passcode. 
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail 
messages and attachments stored on iPad, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may also 
use data protection.)
Increase security. Turn off Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode. To enter a passcode that’s 
a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPad using 
the numeric keypad, set up a longer passcode using numbers only. 
						

							 Chapter  3    Basics 34
Allow access to features when iPad is locked. Go to Settings > Passcode. Optional features include:
 •Siri (if enabled; see Siri settings on page 38)
Allow access to Control Center when iPad is locked.  Go to Settings > Control Center. See Control 
Center
 on page 28 .
Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts. Go to Settings > Passcode and tap Erase Data. 
After ten failed passcode attempts, all settings are reset, and all your information and media are 
erased by removing the encryption key to the data.
If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPad software. See Restore iPad
 on page 13 4 .
iCloud Keychain
iCloud Keychain keeps your website user names and passwords, and credit card information  
that you set up with Safari, up to date on iPad and your other iOS devices and Macs running   
OS X Mavericks. 
iCloud Keychain works with Safari Password Generator and AutoFill. When you’re setting up a 
new account, Safari Password Generator suggests unique, hard-to-guess passwords. You can 
use AutoFill to have iPad enter your user name and password info, making login easy. See Fill in 
forms
 on page 49 .
Note:  Some websites do not support AutoFill.
iCloud Keychain works on all your approved iOS 7 devices and Macs running OS X Mavericks. 
iCloud Keychain is secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and 
cannot be read by Apple. 
Set up iCloud Keychain. Go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain. Turn on iCloud Keychain and 
follow the onscreen instructions. If you’ve set up iCloud Keychain on other devices, you need to 
approve use of iCloud Keychain from one of those devices, or use your iCloud Security Code.
Important:  Your iCloud Security Code cannot be retrieved by Apple. If you forget your security 
code, you’ll have to start over and set up your iCloud Keychain again.
Set up AutoFill. Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill. Make sure Names and Passwords, 
and Credit Cards, are turned on (they’re on by default). To add credit card info, tap Saved 
Credit Cards.
The security code for your credit card is not saved—you have to enter that manually.
To automatically fill in names, passwords, or credit card info on sites that support it, tap a text 
field, then tap AutoFill. 
To protect your personal information, set a passcode if you turn on iCloud Keychain and AutoFill.
Limit Ad Tracking
Restrict or reset Ad Tracking. Go to Settings > Privacy > Advertising. Turn on Limit Ad Tracking 
to prevent apps from accessing your iPad advertising identifier. For more information, tap 
Learn More.
