WARNING: To avoid injury, read Important safety information before using iPad.

With only a Wi-Fi connection, you can easily set up iPad. You can also set up

iPad by connecting it to a computer and using iTunes (see Connect iPad to your

computer).

Set up iPad.

Turn on iPad, then follow Setup Assistant.

Setup Assistant guides you through the setup process, including:

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network

Signing in with or creating a free Apple ID (needed for many features,

including iCloud, FaceTime, the iTunes Store, Apple Music, the App Store,

and more)

Entering a passcode

Setting up iCloud and iCloud Keychain

Enrolling in two-factor authentication

Turning on recommended features, such as Location Services and Siri

Adding a credit or debit card to Wallet to use with Apple Pay (some models)

Setting up Touch ID (some models)

Activating iPad with your carrier (cellular models)

You can also restore iPad from an iCloud or iTunes backup or migrate from an

Android device during setup. See Back up iPad.

Note: Find My iPad is turned on when you sign in to iCloud. Activation Lock is

engaged to help prevent anyone else from setting up your iPad, even if it is

completely restored. Before you sell or give away your iPad, you should reset it

to erase your personal content and turn oﬀ Activation Lock. See Sell or give

away iPad.

If your iPad has an Apple SIM card (available on iPad models with cellular and

Touch ID), you can choose a carrier and sign up for cellular service right on iPad.

Depending on your home carrier and your destination, you may also be able to

travel abroad with iPad and sign up for cellular service with a carrier in the

country you’re visiting. This isn’t available in all areas and not all carriers are

supported; contact your carrier for more information.

Go to Settings > Cellular Data, then tap Set Up Cellular Data and follow the

onscreen instructions.

Set up cellular service in another country.

When traveling to another country, you can choose a local carrier rather than

roaming. Go to Settings > Cellular Data, tap Choose a Data Plan, then select the

plan you want to use.
