Turning off the sound on an iPad

One of our staff with an iPad just asked how to turn off the sound.


There's a couple ways to turn off the sound, you can pick whichever is easiest for you.

On the right side of the iPad, toward the top, there's a volume control "rocker switch" which you can push on the down side of multiple times, which will turn the volume to "zero" which is off.  When you push it, you'll see a grey indicator show up on the screen with a volume bar.

Above that switch, there's a small two position switch.  If you push it toward the back of the device, it mutes the device.  Again, you'll get an indicator on the screen, a speaker with a line through it, to tell you you've muted the device.

You can double click the home button (the small round button at the bottom) and then swipe to the right to access the sound controls, too.  This is a handy spot to get into, as it also has controls for the brightness, the music controls, and if you're hooked up to an Apple TV, where you can turn on mirroring for AirPlay.

Here's a printable "quick reference" card for the Norstar voicemail systems in use at Cape/Canyon, Jemtegaard, District Office, Hathaway and the Bus Barn.  Download the .pdf file to print a sheet of these if you want to share with co-workers.
