Charging Tips • Make sure that you fully recharge iPad's battery at least once per month (fully recharge means running the battery down to 5% and then charging it to 100%). • Don't drop the battery charge to low (less than 5% is very risky as lithium-polymer cells being near their critical voltage drop the charge very sharply, so you may face completely dead battery that has no juice to start new charging cycle. • To prevent failure, never store the battery fully discharged. Apply some charge (optimal is 50%) before storage, and then charge fully before use. • Avoid iPad from both overheating (> 35 °C)and undercooling (< 0 °C). The optimal temperature for IPad is 22 °C. • To save battery's power turn off : background app refreshing (implemented by iOS 7), and/or Wi-Fi when it is not in use, push notifications and/or push mail, and/or the sound effects (if they are frequent and as they are activated by default); adjust screen brightness, and/or minimize the use of location services, and/or increase Fetch New Data interval • Turn Airplane mode on to charge faster
Profiles • There are multiple profiles on the iPad that manages the device, and connects it to PCWIFI • Do not remove these profiles otherwise you will be disconnected from the network
