Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing: User's Guide

Preferences
The Preferences screen is a full-screen pop-up window that allows you to change your personal
settings. When you close the Preferences, you return to your current activity, but in some cases, the
activity will need to be restarted.
Important Note Regarding Audio:
The Mavis Beacon PDA application contains sound effects. You must enable or disable audio using
the main system preferences on your PDA.
The Preferences Screen shows the following:
• A checkbox allows you to disable the backspace key. When this is checked, the delete and
backspace keys are disabled. The default is unchecked.
• You can use the arrows to adjust the target typing speed. The default speed is 40 WPM.
The minimum target speed is 25 WPM and the maximum allowed target speed is 120
WPM.
• Selecting the Clear button opens a dialog box, asking if you want to erase your progress
report data and high scores, with an OK and Cancel button. Selecting OK clears the data.
• The OK button confirms changes to the preferences. The Cancel button exits Preferences
without making changes (except if you cleared the data).
