• If you can’t see the cursor on the screen, then your batteries may be
too low. Check your batteries or plug in your AC adapter.
My file (or the end of my file) is filled with garbage.
• If you have no useful text in the file, just press the clear file key to
erase the entire file.
• If you have some data you would like to save, go to where the gar-
bage characters start and press x-backspace to delete from the cur-
sor to the end of the file.
• Send the file, and then cancel the transfer when garbage shows up.
When I transfer text to my PC, the case of the characters is reversed; all
the lowercase characters show up as uppercase, and the uppercase
characters show up as lowercase.
• The caps lock key was probably pressed on the PC keyboard when
the AlphaSmart 3000 was connected. The computer remembers that
the caps lock is on and does the case reversal. To fix it, simply press
the caps lock key once either on the normal PC keyboard or on the
AlphaSmart 3000 when it is attached to the PC (when the
AlphaSmart 3000 is attached to the PC, it functions as a normal
keyboard). Before sending from the AlphaSmart 3000, it is often a
good idea to try typing a few characters from the AlphaSmart 3000
keyboard to see if it transfers correctly to the PC screen. If not, press
the AlphaSmart 3000 caps lock key once to fix it, and then type a
few keys to verify that it is correct.
The previous contents of the Clipboard show up in my document
instead of the AlphaSmart 3000 file.
