NEO and NEO 2 by AlphaSmart
There are three ways you can deal with this situation:
• If you have no useful text in the file, just press clear file to remove the
entire file.
• If you have some data you would like to save, place the cursor where the
garbage characters start, press shift-end to select the garbage characters,
then press delete.
• Send the file to your computer and cancel the transfer when garbage
characters appear.
The Caps Lock key on your computer was probably on when you sent the text
from NEO. Press Caps Lock on your computer keyboard to turn it off, and
then resend the file.
Your NEO is probably using a different keyboard layout. You can change the
keyboard layout in one of three ways:
• Press option-z-L and select a layout.
• On your NEO, press applets and choose the Control Panel SmartApplet.
Then step through the settings to change to the keyboard layout you want.
• In AlphaSmart Manager, select a layout from the Settings tab. See page 108
for more information.
If the NEO malfunctions during the warranty period, repairs are covered.
However, a broken LCD screen is not considered a malfunction and is
therefore not covered under warranty. AlphaSmart can replace the LCD
screen; contact Technical Support for pricing information and a Return
Material Authorization number.
Antivirus software isn't needed for your NEO.
