Introduction
This document was carefully put together to provide all JSRACS parents and students participating
in the 1-to-1 iPad BYOD Programme, with a set of instructions that can easily be followed when
preparing a device to use at School.
We suggest that parents work together with their son/daughter when setting up their device. It will
give you, as parents, an insight into the device and help your child with any steps they may be
struggling with. It will also very much make you a part of the JSRACS BYOD programme.
The iPad is a very personal device which necessitates an individual setup. Some of the setup
processes have been automated by enrolling the device into JSR’s MDM (Mobile Device
Management) AirWatch system, but some still need individual initial attention.
It is important that your son/daughter’s iPad is setup and ready to go for the first day of School.
Should you as a parent have trouble with any of these steps and require assistance, we ask that you
email the ICT Department at ITSupport@jsracs.wa.edu.au. Please clearly state which page and step
you are stuck on, provide your name and contact number and during regular business hours of
operation, someone from ICT Support will contact you to provide you with any added assistance you
may need.
We thank you for taking the time in assisting your child in this exercise and appreciate your support
of the 1-to-1 iPad BYOD Programme at JSRACS.

Some Handy Definitions
Apple ID – An existing email address used to log into the systems that Apple have introduced for its
products such as iTunes and App Store. This email address can be from any email provider.
Apps – A software application designed to run on Smartphones, tablet computers and in this
instance iPads.
App Store – A digital application distribution platform developed and maintained by Apple. The
service allows users to browse and download applications from the iTunes Store
Backup – A process which will take a full copy of all your data which can be retrieved in the instance
that something happens to your device.
iCloud – A storage service owned by Apple. This service allows users to store data such as music
and iOS apps on remote computer servers which can be downloaded to multiple devices (running
iOS 5 or later). This also enables users to wirelessly backup their iOS devices instead of manually
doing so by plugging in to a computer and using iTunes.
iOS – Apple’s mobile operating system. Originally developed for the iPhone, it has since been
extended to support the iPod Touch and iPad devices. iOS 7 is the latest version of the operating
system. Apple regularly releases updates (at time of print iOS 7.1.1 was the current version).
Updates to the iOS can be downloaded and installed for free.
iTunes – A media player and media library application developed by Apple. It is used to play,
purchase, download, save and organize digital, audio and video.
Wi-Fi – Technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data wirelessly over a computer
network. It is used to connect an iPad to the Internet and other networks without a cable.
AirWatch MDM System – Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems allow organisations/schools
to manage a large fleet of mobile devices. It is used to push out settings that make the iPad work on
the School Wireless Network, the Internet and pushes Apps to all student and staff iPads at JSR. It
operates by installing “profiles” on the device which facilitate this functionality. These profiles are
NOT to be removed from the devices under any circumstances as removing these will compromise
the device’s functionality whilst at school.

Step 1: Setting up your iPad for the first time
If you are using a brand new iPad, it will need to be configured for use
before any additional steps can take place. If your iPad has already been
set up, you can skip this step and go straight to Step 2.
Please note that these instructions were prepared using an iPad running iOS 10.1.1. If
you have a different version installed on your iPad, then some of the steps and screen
images may differ.
1. Turn on your iPad. The On/Off Key is on the top right side of your
device. Hold the On key to turn on the device.
Click the home key (bottom centre button) to commence the setup.
2. A language selection screen appears. Tap “English”.
3. On the “Select your country or region” screen, tap on “Australia”.
4. On the Wi-Fi selection screen.
Select your home Wireless Network. If you do not have a Wireless
network at home, skip this by tapping “Connect to iTunes”. Your
son/daughter will need to finish setting up their device (Steps 2-6) at
School.
5. You will be prompted to enter a Password for your home Wi-Fi
network. If you are unsure about what this may be, contact your
Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Enter your Wireless Network password and tap on “Join” and then
tap “Next”.
6. On the Location Services page, tap on “Enable Location Services”.
Tap on “Next”.
7. On the “Create a Passcode” screen, go ahead and create a passcode.
It is important that all iPads used at JSR are protected with a
Passcode as this will prevent others from using the iPad and
accidently deleting and data or apps. If you are a parent setting this
up for your child, please speak to your child about the importance of
remembering this passcode. (Passcodes can be written down and
hidden somewhere at home if this makes things easier).

8. On the “Apps & Data” screen, tap
“Set Up as New iPad” – Select this if you have not used an iPad
before, or would like to set this device from scratch.
OR
“Restore from iCloud Backup” – Select this if you previously have
used an iPad, backed it up, and would like to restore all Apps and
Documents onto this device.
9. On the “Apple ID” screen you will need to either:
Sign using your Apple ID, or if you are a parent setting up this iPad,
then your son/daughter’s Apple ID. (Jump to step 18)
OR
“Don’t have an Apple ID or forgot it?” – Select this, if your child is
new to Apple products or does not have an Apple ID.
Note: Students who are under 13 will need to ask their parents to
set up their Apple IDs for them.
All JSR students need to have access to an Apple ID in order to be able to
install School needed Apps on their device.
10. Create a Free Apple ID
On the “Date of birth” screen, move the three rollers until your
child’s date of birth is displayed.
Tap on “Next”.
11. On the “Name” screen,
type in your First and Last names.
Tap on “Next”.
12. On the “Email Address” screen, tap either:
“Use your current email address” and enter it.
OR
“Get a free iCloud email address” if you do not have an email
address that can be used for this Apple ID.
5 | P a g e
13. You are now required to type in the email address that will become
your (or if you are a parent setting this up for your child, your
child’s), Apple ID.
A few things to consider when selecting an email address to use…
a. This Apple ID will stay with you for life.
b. App purchases cannot be transferred to another Apple ID.
c. Receipts for purchased/installed apps will be sent to this email
address.
d. School Apps gifted to you will be gifted to this Apple ID, hence
switching to a different Apple ID after the initial setup is NOT a
practice that should be followed.
Enter an Email address to use for your Apple ID and tap “Next”.
Confirm the creation, when prompted by clicking “Continue”.
14. On the “Password” screen enter a password and verify it.
NOTE: The password must have…
a. at least 8 characters
b. at least 1 number
c. at least 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase letter
Tap on “Next”.
The parents have full discretion whether to make this password
known to their child or not. The password will need to be entered to
install any Apps onto the device (including School Apps).
15. On the “Security Questions” screen, select three (3) questions and
then type in the answers for these.
Note: This information can be used to reset your password should
you forget it, hence is information that should not be shared.
Tap on “Next”.
16. Tap on “Agree” in the bottom right hand corner of the “Terms and
Conditions” screen.
17. You will be asked to wait while the Apple ID is created.
18. On the “Siri” screen, select “Don’t Use Siri” for now.
This can be turned on later if desired.
Tap on “Next”.
19. On the “Diagnostics” screen, select “Don’t Send”.

“Use iCloud”. Tap on “Next”.
21. On the “Find My iPad” screen, select “Use Find My iPad”.
22. On the “Create a Passcode” screen, enter a four digit passcode and
confirm it.
Note: The passcode secures your device and will need to be
remembered by the child.
We strongly advise that parents have knowledge of this passcode in
case this is forgotten by the child.
23. On the “Welcome to iPad” screen, tap on “Get Started”
Congratulations!
