When the Clear Display key does not work, it is usually because you have a Notebook open by accident.
Whenever a Notebook is open, the Clear Display key is disabled until the Notebook is closed. The key is disabled so that you don't accidentally erase an open Notebook.
To Close a Notebook:
1. Go into the Toolbox, and select the key labeled Notebook menu.
2. Select the key labeled Close Notebook.
3. This will bring up the message, “The Notebook has changed, would you like to save changes?” Answer, NO
NOTE for Step 3: If you deliberately opened a Notebook and were working in it, you might want to answer YES to this question to save any work you did.
4. Next select OK to exit the Notebook menu.
Add some text to your display and test the Clear Display key. If the Clear Display key works properly you are finished.

5. Select the key labeled Enter Assignment.
6. If there is another assignment listed, delete it .
7. Select Insert Tool, and select the tool labeled Clear Display.
8. Select OK twice to exit the Assign Core Keys menu.
