Setting up Your New BYOD iPad
iPad Air 2
With only a Wi-Fi connection, you can easily set up iPad.
(You can also set up iPad by connecting it to a computer and using iTunes see:
https://help.apple.com/ipad/9/#/iPad995bb279 )
Before you start: Do you have an Apple ID for your child to use?
Step 1: Turn on - Press and hold the button on the top of
the new iPad until you see the Apple logo on screen.
After a few moments you’ll see the above screen. Slide to
your finger to the right to start.
Step 2: Pick your language - The first screen lets you
choose what language to use on your iPad. Tap on the
language you want, then move on to the next step.
Step 3: Where am I? - Select your country next. It’s
likely that the new iPad will have your location as the top
choice.

Step 4: Connect to Wi-Fi - If you have a wireless
network at home or at work you can connect to it here.
Tap on the wireless network name and type in the
passcode. At school we will provide them with access
to our secure CE wireless network.
Step 5: Location tracking - If you want your new
iPad and apps to know where you are – handy for
mapping and social-media tools, enable this by
tapping ‘Enable Location Services’ and then Next.
Step 6: Touch ID – You can create a fingerprint
passcode to access your iPad by placing your
finger or thumb on the sensor in a variety of
positions until the touch id has been created.
This is optional, you can choose to skip this step
and set it up later if you wish.

Step 7: Create a passcode – All students will
need a passcode on their device for security
purposes. Ensure the code is recorded in a secure
location in case it is forgotten. 6 digit code is
needed for Air 2.
Step 8: Apps & Data – Choose the option to set
up as a new iPad as this device will need to be
set up using your child’s Apple ID. (Refer to the
‘How to create an Apple ID’ document on the
school website)
Step 9: Sign in - You need an Apple ID to use
your iPad in the BYOD program. Click Sign In and
enter the Apple ID created for your child using their
school provided Gmail account. You’re now good
to go.

Step 10: Terms and Conditions - Take time to
read the terms and conditions. Click the Agree
button to continue. You will need to agree to each
service (Siri, iCloud etc.) you want to use.
Step 11: iCloud/keychain – iCloud Keychain
enables you to store passwords and purchasing
information in the cloud (online storage space).
This is not necessary for the BYOD program
and it is suggested that at this time you select
the “don’t use iCloud Keychain” option.
Step 12: Siri - At this time this does not need
to be enabled. Select “Turn on Siri Later”

Step 13: Diagnostics - This allows you to send
data about app activity and crash data to Apple.
This is optional and uses wifi connection to send
the data.
Step 14: Get Started. The last step is to click on
the "Get Started" link on the "Welcome to iPad"
page. This finalises setting up the iPad to use.
Note:
1. Facetime and iMessage are activated automatically. These will not be permitted
for use at school and therefore will need to be turned off in the settings section.
2. Other general settings including rotation, locking and sounds can all be controlled
in the settings section. Tap the ‘setting’ icon to access them.
