Apple iPad iOS 5.1 - Manual (Page 38)

Bluetooth status
The Bluetooth icon appears in the iPad status bar at the top of the screen:
 (white): Bluetooth is on and paired with a device.
 (gray): Bluetooth is on and paired with a device, but the device is out of range or turned off.
 No Bluetooth icon: Bluetooth is turned off or not paired with a device.
Unpairing a Bluetooth device from iPad
If you pair iPad with one Bluetooth device and then want to use a different device of the same
type instead, you must unpair the first device.
Unpair a Bluetooth device: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth, then turn Bluetooth on.
Choose the device, then tap “Forget this Device.”
Security features
Security features help protect the information on iPad from being accessed by others.
Passcodes and data protection
For security, you can set up a passcode that you must enter each time you turn on or wake up iPad.
Set a passcode: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Turn Passcode On. Enter a 4-digit
passcode, then enter it again to verify it. iPad will require you to enter the passcode to unlock it, or
to display the passcode lock settings.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, which uses your passcode as the key for encrypting
mail messages and attachments stored on iPad. (Data protection may also be used by some apps
available from the App Store.) A notice at the bottom of the Passcode Lock screen in Settings
shows that data protection is enabled.
To increase security, turn off Simple Passcode (a four-digit number) and use a more robust
passcode that has a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and special characters. See
“Auto-Lock” on page 126.
