Select iPad User Guide and it will open the User Guide.
Be patient. It is 154 pages long and it will take a couple of minutes to load, but when it is finished, it will (should?) open automatically. Once it is open, click on the icon in the upper left corner that looks like a diskette and this will enable you to save a copy of the User Guide to your computer so you can read it any time you want without having to re-load it every time.
