Starting the NEO
To start your NEO after you install the batteries, press on/off A.
When you want to shut down your NEO, just press the on/off key again.
NEO will shut itself off if it has been idle for 4 minutes in most SmartApplets
(30 minutes in the Responder SmartApplet and 10 minutes in the Accelerated
Reader SmartApplet).
To change the idle time on one NEO in the Control Panel, see page 183; to
change it in the system settings in the NEO Manager software, see page 183.
Please note that any changes you make will not affect the Accelerated Reader
and Responder SmartApplets.
Starting to Write on Your NEO
When you start your NEO, it opens the AlphaWord Plus SmartApplet, where
you can do your writing. Simply press one of the file keys at the top of the
keyboard to choose the file that you want to write in, and begin typing. Your
writing is saved as you type. If you turn off the NEO, or if it shuts itself off
after it has been idle, you will still find your writing in that file when you start
the NEO again.
For more information about writing in AlphaWord Plus, see page 23.
You can use the
Two-Button On
setting to require
you to press both on/off and
enter to start the NEO. This
helps prevent the NEO from
being turned on accidentally.
See page 177 to turn this
setting on using the NEO
Control Panel, or go to
page 186 to find out how to
change it for NEOs using the
system settings in the NEO
Manager software.
