User Actions

Lights

Turn the response pad on by holding down the Power button.

Both lights blink once when the pad is on. The red light continues to blink until you join the class.

Join your class by pressing Join, your class’ channel number, and Send.

When you press Join, the red light will stay on. The red light flashes after each digit you press. When you press Send, the red light will blink quickly until CPS detects your response. Once CPS detects your response and you join the class, the green light will be solid for 5 seconds and then faintly pulse.

Respond to a question by entering your answer and pressing Send.

Watch the red light, which blinks each time you press a key, to make sure CPS records your response. The green and red lights blink simultaneously until CPS receives your response, then the green light will be solid for 5 seconds.

Confirm an answer (optional) by reentering your answer and pressing Send.

If your confirmation answer is the same as your original answer, the green light will be solid for 5 seconds. If your response differs, the red light will be solid for 5 seconds. The LED light states for confirming and answer do not apply in SMA* mode. In SMA mode, use your corresponding pad number on the onscreen Feedback Grid to confirm your response.

Turn your pad off by holding the Power button down for at least 4 seconds.

As you hold the Power button down, both lights will stay on for a few seconds and then go off. The pad will turn off automatically if it is out of range of the receiver for 5 minutes.

*  SMA stands for “student managed assessment.” In this mode, students answer questions at their own pace, generally from a hardcopy document while progress for each student is tracked onscreen.
