Using NEO 2 with the 2Know! Toolbar

. . . . .

If you have your Renaissance Receiver connected and you’ve installed 
AlphaSmart Manager, you can also use NEO 2 with the 2Know! Toolbar. 
Students can use NEO 2 to respond to questions. Teachers can use it to 
control the toolbar program as they would use a teacher Responder.

Students follow these steps to respond to questions from the 2Know! Toolbar:

1. Press on/off to turn NEO 2 on.
2. Press applets.
3. Make sure the cursor is next to Responder; then, press enter.
4. NEO 2 will attempt to join the session. If you have connected to a 

Renaissance Receiver before, it will ask if you want to stay connected to 
it; press y for yes or n for no. Then, press enter.
If you haven’t connected to a Renaissance Receiver before, NEO 2 will 
show you a list of networks (Renaissance Receivers). Use the arrow keys 
to highlight the one you want to connect to; then, press enter.

5. Enter your response to each question:

For multiple-choice questions, type the letter for the answer you want 
to choose and press enter.

For true/false questions, type t for true or f for false and press enter. 
(To answer “true,” you can also type y for yes or g for green. To 
answer “false,” you can also type n for no or r for red.)

For questions that require a number for an answer, type the number 
and press enter.

For “pulse” questions, you can enter either t, y, or g for true/yes/green, 
and you can enter f, n, or r for false/no/red; then, press enter.

The teacher will let you know when you can send your answer to each 
question.

6. When you’ve finished answering questions, the teacher can shut down 

the 2Know! Toolbar program. The next time students press enter, NEO 2 
will tell them there is no session and ask if they want to search for 
networks. Students can press n for no and press enter to go back to the 
SmartApplets menu.
