Quick Guide
The Control Panel lets you define settings for your NEO 2. To use the Control
Panel, follow these steps:
1. Press the applets key.
2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor next to the Control Panel; then,
press enter.
3. Move the cursor next to the settings you want to change; then, press
enter.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to make changes. For some
settings, such as Spell Check or Calculator settings, you must enter the
master password, which you can set using AlphaSmart Manager. The
master password prevents students from changing these settings
themselves. The table below gives you an overview of the Control Panel
settings.
(During a spell check, this determines whether the user can add words that aren't in
the dictionary but are spelled correctly.)
(Deletes the custom dictionary that includes words you've added.)
(Determines whether you see right arrows for tabs and carriage return arrows in the
text you type. You can also change the setting by pressing option- -K.)
(Allows you to set passwords for AlphaWord Plus files. You can also do this by pressing
ctrl-option- -P and entering the master password. All files initially will have the
password write. To change the password for an individual file you're working in, press
option- -P or use the next setting.)
