Resetting all devices is particularly useful when you have several NEOs and
you want to begin a new session or school year with a clean slate.
Follow these steps to reset all connected NEOs:
1. If you are resetting one NEO, make sure it is connected to the computer
(see page 9). If you’re updating several NEOs in a SmartOption Mobile
Lab, make sure they are connected to the lab and the cart is connected to
your computer.
2. In NEO Manager, click the Setup menu and choose Reset All NEO
Devices.
3. A warning message about loss of data appears. Click Yes (Windows) or
OK (Macintosh). NEO Manager will send a new send list that contains the
factory default settings to the connected NEOs.
