• Green light: Your NEO is properly connected.
• Yellow light: The connected NEO needs updating.
• Red light: An AS3000 is connected. This version of AlphaSmart
Manager is not compatible with AS3000 laptops, and you cannot have
both NEOs and AS3000s connected to the cart.
• Black light: Your NEO is not connected or is improperly connected
(refer to "Troubleshooting" on page 119).
When you're properly connected, you can transfer information between your
NEO and your computer.
An earlier procedure in this manual describes how to send files from your
NEO to an open program on your computer ("Sending Files to Your
Computer" on page 9). You can also use AlphaSmart Manager to retrieve the
numbered files (1-8) on your NEO. In AlphaSmart Manager, you can view
files 1-8 from the connected NEO(s), print the files, or save them as separate
text files.
If you retrieve a file that has a linked file associated with it, you retrieve the
linked file text as well. When you view, print, or save the file, the linked file
text is appended to the end of the main file. For more about linked files, see
"Using Linked Files" on page 42.
AlphaSmart Manager retrieves files 1-8 from NEOs. It doesn't retrieve named
files that aren't open in one of the eight numbered files. If you want to retrieve
one of the named files, make sure you open it.
By following the steps below, you can view the contents of files 1-8 on the
connected NEO(s). You can only view one file at a time.
1. In AlphaSmart Manager, click the Get/Print AlphaWord Files tab.
If you have just one NEO connected, you'll see a device called
AlphaSmart USB in the File Contents list as shown. If you connect an
entire cart, the connected NEOs will be listed by number.
