Two-Button On Setting
Normally, NEO turns on when you press the on/off button. If your NEO
often gets turned on accidentally, perhaps because the button is pressed when
you carry the NEO in a bag or backpack, you can enable the two-button on
option to require you to press on/off and enter together to turn NEO on.
Follow these steps to turn this option on or off:
1. In the list of Control Panel settings, use the arrow keys to move the cursor
next to Two-button On option; then, press enter.
2. The next screen will tell you if the option is enabled (on) or disabled. If you
want to change the setting, press enter. If not, press esc.
Set Screen Contrast Setting
The Set Screen Contrast setting lets you control how light and dark both the
screen background and the onscreen characters appear. This lets you
optimize the screen for your current lighting conditions.
To change the screen contrast, follow these steps:
1. In the list of Control Panel settings, use the arrow keys to move the cursor
next to Set screen contrast; then, press enter.
2. Use the arrow keys to change the contrast. Pressing the
↑ key increases
the number and darkens the background; pressing the
↓ key decreases
the number and lightens both the background and the text. The setting
ranges from 1 to 16.
3. Press esc when you’re ready to exit the setting.
You can also enable
the Two-Button On
Option in
AlphaSmart Manager. To do
this, click the Settings tab,
click System on the left, scroll
down through the list on the
right to find “Two button on
mode,” and click the On
option. Then, send the change
to NEOs.
