Neo  User’s  Guide

Powering your Neo

Note:

Neos use AA batteries, but if you’d like it to be 

rechargeable instead, you can purchase a rechargeable battery 
upgrade kit from AlphaSmart. See the AlphaSmart web site for 
more information.

Important:

If you converted a Neo to be rechargeable, 

charge it as soon 

as possible after you receive it

. Do not store it without first charging the 

batteries. See the task below for information about how to charge a 
rechargeable Neo. Also see page 131 for more information about 
rechargeable Neos.

To install AA batteries:

1. Make sure you have three new AA batteries. 

2. Turn your Neo over and locate the battery compartment.

3. If a small Phillips screw is securing the battery compartment, use 

a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew it. If the screw isn’t present, skip 
to step 4. (Neos come with a small screw to secure the 
compartment. Usually the screw is taped to the battery door. 
Often schools prefer to secure the door with the screw to help 
prevent battery theft.)

4. Open the battery door by placing your thumbs in the depressions 

on the ends of the latch, then gently press down and slide the 
latch to the left.

5. Insert the three batteries with the (+) terminals pointing to the 

right and the (–) terminals pointing to the left.

6. Replace the latch and slide it gently to the right.

7. If you want to secure the door, replace the Phillips screw, if you 

have it, and tighten gently.
