Example text
You can control which notifications, if any, occur for which apps. Some notifications are short and ephemeral, like a sound that plays once, so you might not notice them. Other notifications are more difficult to miss. I’ve listed them here in order from easiest to miss to hardest: • Sound: A notification can be a short sound. For example, I’ve set my iPad to make a certain sound when I receive an iMessage from my son (using the Ringtone option in his entry in the Contacts app). If I’m not near the iPad when a message arrives, I don’t hear the sound.
To “press” one of these buttons from a physical keyboard, hit the Return or Enter key on the keyboard. Now that you’ve paired a Bluetooth device with your iPad, you may want to break the connection temporarily: • To disable Bluetooth headphones temporarily, tap the AirPlay button; then, tap a different output option. You can find the AirPlay button in the playback controls in many audio and video apps (Figure 24), or on the multitasking bar (see Manage Multitasking). Figure 24: To switch audio output to a different device, tap the AirPlay icon (located near the upper right in the Music app, shown here) and then tap a different output option.
At the right, turn on the Auto-Brightness switch (Figure 10). With the switch on, the iPad will automatically light up or dim the screen, depending on the ambient light. If you don’t mind a more dim default brightness, drag the slider left to lower the default. Figure 10: To conserve battery power, turn on Auto-Brightness. 30 Don’t use your iPad if the temperature is above 95°F (35°C). Apple says that this could permanently reduce the battery’s capacity to hold a charge—even just leaving it in a hot car is a no-no.
