Connecting Your AlphaSmart 3000
to a USB Computer
To connect your AlphaSmart 3000 to a USB computer, either a Macintosh
(iMac or newer) or a PC, use the USB cable. Simply plug the rectangular end
of the USB cable into the computer’s USB port (either on the CPU, on a USB
hub, or on some USB keyboards). Then connect the smaller, semi-square,
end into the AlphaSmart 3000 computer port.
The first time you connect an AlphaSmart 3000 to a USB port on a PC,
Windows will bring up a series of screens to install the driver necessary to
support the AlphaSmart 3000. Simply click on the Next button in each
screen.
