Getting started with the iPad involves learning about its buttons and accessories, unlocking/lock screen features, turning the iPad on and off, connecting to WiFi, and setting up an Apple ID. The buttons are the power button, volume buttons, home button, and on older models a screen rotation button. Unlocking involves pressing the home or power button. The lock screen provides quick access to the camera, notifications, control center, and time/date. Turning the iPad on is done by pressing the power button once, and turning it off requires a long press of the power button. Connecting to WiFi involves checking for the WiFi signal at the top of the screen and selecting a network. An Apple ID is needed
