Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen and exterior. Avoid abrasive cloths, towels, paper towels, or similar items that could scratch the screen. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.
• Battery Care: To maximize battery life, avoid exposing the iPad to extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, charge the battery to about 50% and power off the device.
• Software Updates: Regularly check for and install iOS updates to ensure optimal performance and security. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your iPad Air 2, try the following common solutions:

• Device Unresponsive: If the iPad is frozen or unresponsive, perform a force restart. Press and hold both the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears (approximately 10 seconds).
• Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues:
  • Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled in Settings > Wi-Fi.
  • Forget the network and reconnect.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router.
• Battery Draining Quickly:
  • Check battery usage in Settings > Battery to identify power-consuming apps.
  • Reduce screen brightness.
  • Disable Background App Refresh for non-essential apps.
• Passcode Issues (for Renewed Devices): If your renewed iPad prompts for an old passcode that you do not know, this indicates the device was not properly reset by the previous owner or refurbisher. In such cases, you will need to contact the seller or Apple Support for assistance with device activation or a full factory reset that bypasses the previous owner's Apple ID.
