Installing SmartApplets
By following the steps below, you can install new SmartApplets, update
SmartApplets, or reinstall SmartApplets that you’ve removed. To do this, you
install a SmartApplet on your computer, then select it and send it to your
NEO(s) using AlphaSmart Manager. (If AlphaSmart Manager isn’t installed
on your computer yet, see the AlphaSmart Manager 2 User Manual for
instructions.)
1. If you have received a new SmartApplet, close AlphaSmart Manager if it
is already running.
2. If you have a single NEO, use the USB cable that came with your NEO to
connect it to your computer.
If you have a SmartOption Mobile Lab with several NEOs, connect the
NEOs to the appropriate cables in your cart. Connect your computer to
the cart.
3. If you have received a new SmartApplet, on your computer, use Windows
Explorer or Macintosh Finder to browse to the location where you
unzipped or unstuffed the SmartApplet files. Double-click the file that ends
with .OS3KApp (such as KeyWords.OS3KApp). AlphaSmart Manager
will start and display the SmartApplets tab.
If you want to install a SmartApplet that you already have, start
AlphaSmart Manager and click the SmartApplets tab.
4. If the SmartApplet that you want to install is not already in the Install List,
click it in the SmartApplet List (
A on the next page) and click Add => to
add it to the Install List
B. (You can also drag the SmartApplets between
lists.) To select more than one SmartApplet to add, hold down the Ctrl or
 key as you click the SmartApplets. To select a group, click the first item
in the group, hold down the Shift key, and click the last item in the group.
Make sure the Memory column
C shows that there is enough space on
the NEO(s) to install this SmartApplet. Note: Since NEO 1 laptops don’t
have as much space as NEO 2 laptops, if you have both NEO 1 and NEO
2 laptops connected to a SmartOption Mobile lab, the Memory column
shows the space left on your NEO 1 laptops, not your NEO 2 laptops.
Calculator Use this to perform mathematical calculations. (It can be
disabled using the Control Panel settings.)
