**STEP 1 - Setting up your Passcode Lock**

 * First thing to do is go to Settings and tap on Passcode Lock
 * Enter the passcode - which is the number of the sticker on the back of your device

 * Once entered click on Simple Passcode - as all you will need is a four digit passcode which is easy to remember (PLEASE use a number you will remember and write it down somewhere private just in case!)
 * And then tap Change passcode - type in original again and then your new four digit passcode
 * Make sure to set the iPAD to autolock after a certain number of minutes for security

**STEP 2 - Top Tip**

 * As shown in Screenshot 6 - in the settings page there are two other elements I would advise you turning on - 1) is the screenlock rotation with the sideswitch, I promise you it stops many annoying moments; 2) the Multitasking Gestures as this will enable easy switch between screens and applications

**STEP 3 - International Keyboards and Languages**

 * Within the setting area another simple but important thing to do as we all speak different languages is to setup your iPAD so you can change the keyboard accordingly.
 * Simply go to International keyboards and choose as shown below

 * Then in any application just hold down the world key - and up will pop whichever keyboards you have chosen ready to use automatically - cool huh.

**STEP 4 - The Four Finger Swipe**

 * Make sure in settings the Multitasking Gestures is turned on and then test out the four finger swipe gestures to improve multitasking and switching between apps - see the video below for more help... nice and easy...
