The NetSchools System (page 2-3)
♦ Text for the “NetSchools System” Section –
You’ ve got a new StudyPro computer! Congratulations!
But what can it do? What can you do with it? Your StudyPro is a key part of
your school’ s NetSchools System – a totally new way for you, and your friends
and family, to use computers and learn about the world.
Your StudyPro is portable – you can take it with you, anywhere. You can take it
to school. You can even carry it home. And the good news is that the StudyPro
has no wires. The StudyPro “ talks” to the school’ s other computers using a
wireless infrared beam. This wireless connection works like the remote control
for a television but is much more powerful.
In the classroom, your StudyPro works like a “ smart” version of a class notebook.
You can use it to take notes, do calculations and search for information – while
sitting at any desk in any classroom.
You can use your StudyPro to send messages to teachers and classmates using
your school’ s electronic mail ( e-mail) system. You can also use the Internet and
the World Wide Web to locate information that will help you complete
assignments.
But the exciting news is that your StudyPro goes home with you every day. At
home you can do your homework and send it back to a teacher, electronically.
Your family members can read email messages from your teachers and send
them replies.
The complete NetSchools System consists of a StudyPro computer for every
student, the teachers’ computers, and a school server computer. The server
acts as the central hub for all the messages that are sent to the computers. The
system includes telecommunications equipment that lets everyone on the
system access the Internet and the World Wide Web. Students and teachers
can also use the school’ s network from home. Each StudyPro has a built-in
modem that makes access from home as easy as a local telephone call.
The StudyPro has been designed to make your learning more successful and
more exciting. Strap on your seat belt and get ready for the new worlds you can
explore with your NetSchools StudyPro computer.

Getting Started (pages 4-5)
♦ Text for the “Getting Started” Section –
Go ahead and open your StudyPro. There is a carry handle and a latch on the
front of the computer’ s cover. This latch unlocks the cover so you can swing it
open.
W hen you have opened the StudyPro, look for the following parts:
Keyboard
Touchpad and its two buttons
Color screen
Speaker
The high-speed infrared port
W hen you open your StudyPro, the computer should “ wake up.” You might
hear a few sound effects coming from the computer as it starts to work. You
will see the computer desktop appear on the color screen.
The StudyPro keyboard has a key for every letter in the alphabet, for all the
numbers 0 through 9, and many special characters. In addition, the keyboard
also has a number of function keys labeled F1 through F12. Among other
things, these function keys help you control the brightness of the StudyPro
screen, sound levels, and other keyboard features.
Do This: Use the function keys to change the screen’ s brightness–
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Locate the Fn key.
Press and hold this key down with a finger on your left hand.
Locate the F3 key.
Using a finger on your right hand, press the F3 key several times while
still holding the Fn key down. The StudyPro screen will get brighter.
Still holding the Fn key down, press the F4 key several times. The
StudyPro screen will get darker.
Still holding the Fn key down, press F3 or F4 until the StudyPro screen is
as bright or as dark as you want it to be.
On the desktop you will see a number of small pictures called icons. These
icons identify several programs that come with your StudyPro. The StudyPro
programs are the tools you will use to send and receive messages, get your
assignments, do your assignments, and send your completed work back to
your teachers.

StudyPro Tools (pages 6-7)
♦ Text for the “StudyPro Tools” Section –
One StudyPro tool is Student Central. Look at the desktop and find the icon
for Student Central. You will use this program to:
Send and receive e-mail messages
Receive classroom and homework assignments
Turn in completed assignments
View a calendar that shows assignment due dates and school events
Let your family members communicate with people at your school
Another tool will be Microsoft Works. Microsoft Works contains several
programs that let you:
v Write, edit and print documents ( Word Processor)
v Do calculations and create tables ( Spreadsheet)
v Organize and keep track of all sorts of data ( Database)
The StudyPro also has a tool – a special version of Microsoft Internet Explorer
– that lets you “ surf the Net” . Using this browser, you will be able to access
the information on the Internet and the World Wide Web. From your desk, you
will be able to find information that will help you complete your assignments.
The StudyPro’ s Wingraph tool lets you plot mathematical equations directly on
the screen. You can use Wingraph to explore what happens to a graph when
you make changes to an equation.
The WebSter program lets you create and edit HTML files that can be viewed
with any Internet browser. HTML, H ypertext Markup Langauge, is the name of
a special computer language that is used to create pages on the World Wide
Web. HTML pages can include not only text and pictures, but also animations,
music and sounds, and video.
You and your family members will be shown, in special classes, just how all of
these StudyPro tools work together.

Working with Your Teachers (page 8-9)
♦ Text for the “Working with Your Teachers” Section –
Your teachers will be sending you classroom and homework assignments
from their computers. When you connect to the school’ s computer, your
StudyPro will receive the assignments. Assignments will then appear in the
Student Central program as a list of things for you to do.
For each assignment, you will see:
Due Date
Title
Subject Area
Name of the teacher who gave the assignment
This information is attached to the assignment to help you track what you
need to do. The Due Date tells you when the teacher expects you to turn in
the assignment. The Title and Subject Area remind you of the class for which
the assignment was made. The teacher’ s name gives you the final clue – this
is the person who gets the completed assignment.
W hen using the StudyPro at school, you can do an assignment and send it to
a teacher immediately. Work you do at home will be sent to a teacher’ s
computer the next time you use your StudyPro at school.
Many of your assignments will come with attachments. Attachments are
documents, pictures, calculation sheets, and other files that a teacher might
send with an assignment. Assignments you complete will often have
attachments that you create and send back to your teachers. Most
attachments are files that you use with one of the StudyPro tools: Microsoft
Works, WebSter, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Wingraph.

E-mail and Internet Activities (pages 12-13)
♦ Text for the “E-mail and Internet Activities” Section –
Student Central is also your “ control center” for all of your e-mail activities.
This program’ s five icons down the left side of the screen are:
E-Mail
Sent E-mail
Assignments
Sent Assignments
Calendar
E-Mail and Sent E-mail are the icons you use to receive e-mail messages
and to view messages you have sent. You can receive e-mail from your
teachers, your friends and family members. You can send messages to them
in return.
If you click the E-Mail icon, you will see a list of all e-mail messages that you
have received. If you double-click on one of the messages in the list, you will
be able to read the message and send a reply.
Any e-mail messages you send are stored in the list that appears when you
click the Sent E-mail icon. If you double-click a message in this list, you can
re-read the sent message.
To send a new e-mail message, all you do is click the Compose button on the
Student Central window. This action brings up the Compose window where
you can create your message. After you create the message, you can add
an address and send the message. You can use the e-mail address of
another student, a group of students, one or more teachers, or a member of
your family. Whoever you address the message to will soon find your
message in their E-Mail folder.
For browsing the World Wide Web, you will use the Micorsoft Internet
Explorer. The icon for this program is on your StudyPro’ s desktop. This
browser lets you find useful information with just a few clicks of the touchpad
button. Many of your assignments will ask you to browse a “ site” on the Web,
locate information, and use this information in assignments that you send
back to the teacher.
Your school will have guidelines on using the World Wide Web. Check with
your teachers to make sure you understand the guidelines.
To fully use the StudyPro from home, it may need to use your home
telephone and the StudyPro’ s built-in modem. Check with your teachers to
see if you are able to call up the school’ s computer from home.

How Families Use the StudyPro (pages 14-15)
♦ Text for the “How Families Use the StudyPro” Section –
With a NetSchools System every student carries and uses a StudyPro
computer – in class and at home. When the student is home, family
members will be asked to help with a variety of StudyPro activities. Some of
these activities might include:
Helping a student with homework on the StudyPro
Sending or receiving e-mail with the StudyPro
Recharging the StudyPro’ s battery
Troubleshooting StudyPro problems when they occur
Taking proper care of the StudyPro
The first items in the list (homework and e-mail) have been covered in the
previous two sections of this guide. Please see those sections for more
details.
In general, family members can expect to be asked by the student for help in
doing homework, with using the StudyPro, and with understanding how the email system works. The school, teachers and family members will be
sending e-mail messages directly instead of asking students to carry home
hand-written notes.
The third item, recharging the StudyPro battery, is VERY IMPORTANT!
W hen the StudyPro is at home, it should be connected to its battery
recharger and the charger plugged into an working electrical outlet.
The StudyPro uses a battery that is designed to last the full day at school, IF
IT HAS BEEN RECHARGED OVERNIGHT – EVERY NIGHT. One end of
the battery charger plugs into the port on the left side of the StudyPro. The
other end plugs into an electrical wall outlet.
If you or the student have problems with the StudyPro, refer first to Section 9:
If You Have Problems …in this guide. If you continue to have problems,
contact your school’ s technical staff.
The StudyPro has been designed and built to withstand being moved and
carried to and from school. However, care should be taken in handling and
using the device. The next section, Section 8: Taking Care of the StudyPro,
outlines guidelines for handling and maintaining the computer.
The key thing to realize is that the NetSchools System is whole new way for
learning to take place – at school and at home. Discover what works best for
you and your family and share that with other families, teachers, and the
school’ s administration.

Taking Care of the StudyPro (pages 16-17)
♦ Text for the “Taking Care of the StudyPro” Section –
The StudyPro is rugged and durable. But like any electronic device, it should
be handled with care. Treat it like you would your stereo, your television, or
your radio. Your StudyPro also needs some additional care:
Charging the StudyPro battery
Cleaning the StudyPro screen
Cleaning the keyboard
Cleaning the StudyPro case
Using the touchpad
Using the StudyPro ports
Recharging the StudyPro battery is MOST IMPORTANT! When the StudyPro
is at home, it should be connected to its battery charger and the charger
plugged into a working electrical outlet. The StudyPro uses a battery that is
designed to last one full day at school, IF IT HAS BEEN RECHARGED
OVERNIGHT – EVERY NIGHT. One end of the battery charger plugs into
the port on the left side of the StudyPro. The other end plugs into an
electrical outlet.
The StudyPro screen can be touched and probably will be during an average
day at school. You will need to clean off smudges and fingerprints. You can
do this by using a slightly damp, soft cloth.
The StudyPro keyboard is water-resistant but do not spill liquids on it. Wipe
the keyboard with a slightly damp, soft cloth to help clean off surface dirt.
The StudyPro case can be wiped clean using a soft, damp cloth and any
household cleaner that is not abrasive. Do not use solvents or thinners on
the StudyPro case – they may damage the unit’ s painted surface.
The touchpad on the StudyPro is designed to be touched with the human
hand. Sharp objects and ball point pens should not be used on the touchpad
surface.
The StudyPro ports (back of the StudyPro under the rubber flap) are not often
used everyday. The ports are used to connect external devices to the
StudyPro such as printers and disk drives. It is most important thing to make
sure the rubber flap is closed securely. This will help keep moisture from
getting into the ports and causing problems.
