The first item we will take care of is adjusting the volume.
The only way I know on how to adjust the volume is on the upper side to the right
There will be a two way button (I call it that). That is the way I know on adjusting the volume
Next we will talk about turning on and off the iPad. There is a button at the top where the camera is, by pressing and holding the button down while the iPad is off will turn it on,.
Now if the iPad is on and you press and hold the button, there will be a slider that will be red, slide it to the right and that turns off the iPad
The side switch is for the ringer and the muting of the volume. To turn off the ringer switch it until you see a red dot that is to tell you that it's off
