Neo User’s Guide

AlphaSmart rechargeable batteries last a long time, but they don’t 
last forever. Well-maintained rechargeable batteries last about 500 
charges, or about three years. If your batteries used to last forty 
hours but now last only one hour, you need a new battery pack, which 
you can purchase from AlphaSmart. 

If your batteries have run down, and you don’t have an AC 

adapter, you can still send your data from your Neo to your 
computer while the batteries are charging. Simply attach Neo to 
your computer and turn it on. The cable supplies power to Neo 
from the computer. You can’t do any editing, but you can transfer 
the data in your files. Alternatively, you can temporarily switch to 
AA alkaline batteries until you can obtain a new battery pack.

Each battery cell is a sealed container enclosing a nickel electrode 
and a potassium hydroxide electrolyte. The electrolyte is caustic. 
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. If exposed accidentally, flush eyes 
with water immediately.

Do not incinerate or mutilate the battery, as this may cause 

it to burst or release toxic materials. Do not short circuit, as this may 
cause burns. Please dispose of in accordance with local, state, and 
federal regulations.

When your AA batteries or rechargeable batteries are getting low, a 
warning message appears onscreen.
