When should mirroring turn itself off?

I have the latest aTV, and an iPad2, both running latest software.

When I turn on Mirroring on the iPad, it does as expected, and iPad screen is mirrored on TV.

At what point should mirroring stop if at all?

e.g. When I use the aTV remote's 'menu' button, mirroring and Airplay are reset on the IPad, is this normal behaviour? There seems to be a distinct lack of instructions on how to use the aTV, or is it me?

iPad 2, iOS 6.0.2

Welcome to the Apple Community.

Mirroring will stop when one of the following 3 scenarios occurs.

You start operating the Apple TV from the Apple TV.
You turn mirroring off on the iPad.
Some other device starts an AirPlay stream.

Winston, many thanks!

One does wonder why Apple do not supply instructions for this.

I had to garner information on how to turn it on in the first place (0/10 to Apple for their instructions)
