Before You Begin
Handle the iPad carefully and keep it away from liquids, excessive heat, and materials that could damage the screen or charging port. Use only compatible charging cables and accessories, and avoid placing the tablet near moving machinery or other hazardous equipment.
When using cameras or microphones, respect the privacy of others and obtain permission before recording. Save or export completed projects to an approved location, and sign out of personal accounts when finished.
