The Apple Pencil is great for drawing, taking notes, and doing other editing tasks on the iPad. Here is how to get yours connected.

First Generation Apple Pencil

1. Remove the cap on your Apple Pencil to reveal the lightning connector.
2. Plug the Apple Pencil into the bottom of your iPad via the lightning port.
3. Once it is plugged in there should be a dialog box; click the button that says “Pair.”

*Note turning on Airplane mode, Restarting your iPad, or pairing your Apple Pencil with another device can all cause your Apple Pencil and iPad to become unpaired. Follow steps 1-3 again to repair.
