PRS OVERVIEW

Your PRS RF Clicker is part of the InterWrite PRS
student response system. You use this RF Clicker in
your classes to respond electronically to questions.
In the typical classroom scenario, you login to, or
join, a Class and send Responses.

During the join process, your Student ID, your
unique identifier, is transmitted to the PRS software
via the RF Receiver. Each time you send a
Response to a Question, your Student ID is
attached to your Response, ensuring each answer
you send is attributed to you. Your Responses are
recorded electronically, and can be scored and
stored in an electronic Gradebook.

BASIC OPERATION

1 Slide the Power Switch up to turn the RF Clicker on.
After the initial screen displays, where you will be reminded when it’s time to

replace your batteries, your Clicker will begin Autoscanning for a Class to join.

2a Press the Quick Jump number, displayed in angle brackets (< >) on the

Status Bar of the projected PRS screen, to quickly find your Class. Scroll

or , if necessary, to your Class and press to join,

OR

2b When Autoscanning has completed, scroll or , if necessary, to your

Class and press to join.

You are now ready to participate in a PRS Session.

3 Use the key to clear the ANS: field and prepare for the next Question.

Joining a Class

Most of the time you will be using your PRS Clicker
to respond to Questions in the classroom. When you
turn on your Clicker, it automatically begins scanning
for PRS Classes. Each Receiver is broadcasting for
its specific Class. When the Autoscan is completed,

press or to scroll the list of Classes. When you
have found your Class, press to join it.

Quick Jump

The Quick Jump feature allows you to bypass the
Autoscan process, which in a large PRS facility can
take a long time. The instructor will display the
Quick Jump Number on the board, along with the
name of the Class you are to join.

Press the Quick Jump Number, press or
to scroll to your Class, and press to join it.
