Change Sleep settings on iPad2

Hi there!

I have a quick question regarding iPad 2s. Is there a way to alter the sleep settings on the iPad? I see that you can alter the Lock settings but am wondering if there are any similar features that I am missing. I have a teacher who complains that the iPad goes dark too quickly when she has it mirrored on Apple TV during lessons. She is using 7.02. If not, could this be passed along and considered for future OS upgrades?

Thanks!

Hello there, jehrke7.

The following information from the iPad User Guide speaks to the setting you are referring to:

Sleep/Wake button - iPad User Guide

In particular:

If you don’t touch the screen for two minutes, iPad locks itself. You can change how long iPad waits to lock itself, or set a passcode to unlock iPad.

Set the auto-lock time. Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Cheers,

Pedro.
