Where does the pad under the IC go?

Hi,
I am looking at a MAX4910 audio switch
https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/analog/analog-switches-multiplexers/MAX4910.html
There is a copper pad underneath it. Should that be soldered to ground or somewhere else?
Twoflower:
Unfortunately they haven't denoted the pad in the drawings. But it is highly possible that this is the EP (exposed pad) which should be connected to gnd.
Edit: Yes it is. In the drawing you can see that the Exposed Pad uses the dimensions D2 and E2 which is in the drawing the pad under the device.
wraper:
Did you actually open the datasheet?
