Powering your Neo
In order to use your Neo, it must have power, of course. Neo uses
three AA batteries that you insert and maintain, or it can use internal
rechargeable batteries (if you purchase a rechargeable pack
specifically designed for AlphaSmart devices).
With AA batteries, all the batteries need to be the same type. Alkaline
batteries are recommended. With rechargeable batteries, you
recharge the device with its included AC adapter.
Your Neo can be powered by your computer when connected to it
with a USB cable. When connected, however, Neo acts as the
computer’s keyboard rather than a standalone device.
