iPad’s screen. You can also choose to play a sound for 2 minutes. This
overrides any mute settings on the device. This option is designed for
three purposes:
• If you left your iPad somewhere in your house or office, and can’t
find it, this lets you trigger a sound you can use to home in on it.
• If you left your iPad somewhere else, the sound and noise can
provoke someone to take a look. You can offer a reward and provide
your phone number. It also puts the finder on notice that you know
approximately where it is.
• Were the iPad stolen, this is a way to tell a thief that you’ve got their
location and other data, and advise them to give it up.
Even if you use the next feature to lock the iPad remotely, the message
still appears on the locked screen.

passcode works.
You enter a code, click Next, and re-enter the same code (Figure 88).
Click Done. The code is passed to the device, and email is sent to your
MobileMe account confirming the action. The iPad’s Passcode Lock
setting is changed to Immediately (Settings > General > Passcode
Lock), as well.
