V-tech DOUBLE VISION NOTEBOOK User manual

Dear Parent,

At VTech®we know that in order to effectively reach kids, today’s

learning tools have to be plugged into the fast-paced world around

them. That’s why we created the Grade School Learning Series – an

engaging set of stylized, interactive computers specially designed to get

grade-school kids up to speed with their fast-paced, tech-savvy world.

Every product in the Grade School Learning Series covers a wide

range of school basics – math, language, geography, science, and even

an introduction to basic Spanish. Activities are presented in a fast-paced,

arcade-game style that kids will recognize and enjoy. Each learning

machine is loaded with hi-tech features such as TV-connectability, word

processors, bonus cartridges and a real plug-in mouse—tools that go

hand-in-hand with the way kids learn, play and use information. And

of course, each laptop is designed to travel easily along with a busy

grade-schooler.

With the Grade School Learning Series, kids can access a way to learn

that closely matches the way they already live and play. We thank you

for trusting VTech®with the important job of helping your child learn

and succeed.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at VTech®
