Conserve battery life
You can take steps to make the most of the battery's charge. No need
to be slavish about these, but you'll definitely want to implement them
when you get a low battery notice:
■ Turn down the screen brightness.
■ Turn off Wi-Fi if you're not within range of a wireless network.
■ Turn off Bluetooth if you're not using it.
■ Disable Push notifications (see Chapter 2).
■ Disable 3G networking (provided you own the 3G model) if you're not
accessing data online (discussed later in this chapter).

What if the battery dies?
Batteries lose capacity over time, but sometimes a battery won't hold a
charge for nearly as long as it once did. If the iPad is still under warranty
(one year, or two years if you also purchased AppleCare for it), contact
Apple and ask for a replacement iPad. If an Apple retail store is nearby,
an Apple Genius will be able to diagnose whether the battery is faulty.

If you're out of warranty and the iPad “requires service due to the
battery's diminished ability to hold an electrical charge,” in Apple's words,
then you can take advantage of Apple's battery replacement service. For
$99, Apple will replace the entire iPad (so be sure you've synchronized
it before sending it off). See www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/
battery/ for more information.

Use the cameras
The iPad

includes two built-in cameras for capturing photos and video:
one mounted on the back and one at the front. See Chapter 5 for details.
