Q: Cannot clear Find my iPhone alert msg

Used "find" to locate my iPhone, received an alert to my ipad "iPhone found".

 

Now alert can not be cleared from the ipad, locking me out from all screen actions.  Can not even power down since unable to sweep response to do so.

    Found solution. Did following to power down, which cleared alert on power up.

     

     

              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake

              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake

              and Home buttons.
