When iPad first came out the switch on the side of the iPad was used for Screen Rotation lock. When iPad 2 was getting ready to be released and a new iOS was released the switch became a dual function switch. You can change this switch between two different options. Apple sets this automatically from the beginning as a mute switch. If you want to change this feature between the two you will need to do the following.
Click on the Settings App. Click on the General, scroll to the section titled “Use Side Switch to:” and select what you would like this side switch to do.
I personally prefer it as a lock rotation switch as opposed to a mute switch. There is already a mute switch using the iPad volume rocker on the side located below the screen rotation lock.
To mute using the side volume rocker, click and hold the volume rocker for 1 second. The iPad is now muted. No need to have two mute buttons and this keeps you from having to change the rotation lock in the on screen settings.
