The Silent/Screen Rotation Lock switch appears on the side of the iPad. If you play audio often and need to quickly mute the sound in a hurry, you’ll want to configure this switch to silence the audio. If you don’t want your iPad to adjust the screen rotation automatically, such as when you’re holding the iPad while laying down, then you may prefer to configure this switch to lock the screen rotation instead.
To configure the Silent/Screen Rotation Lock switch, follow these steps:
Tap the Settings icon. The Settings screen appears.
Tap General. The General settings screen appear.
Tap either Lock Rotation or Mute, as shown in Figure 3-5.
Test it out by flicking the switch. An icon appears to let you know you were successful. Your iPad is now muted or locked.
