So want to use your iPad in the Sun ? Maybe you need to wait till the Summer ends, or you may see an error , termed as “ Cool Down Mode “ .
This is caused when your device reaches a preset temperature range which is supposed to be 45 degrees , in this condition the device cannot be used , neither will you be able to charge it until it get backs in the normal temperature range .
Users have reported this mode occurs every fews hour on continuous usage of device , and if you are on a nice Californian summer day reading your iBooks , remember to get your mini ice box with you and Thanks Steve ,hope your fans wont burn their thighs now .
