System 3 Update Guide 1
Welcome to AlphaSmart’s System 3 operating system. This guide is for AlphaSmart 3000 users who
want to update their devices to System 3. System 3 delivers better performance and extended
capabilities to give you added flexibility. Some highlights include
An update from AlphaWord to AlphaWord Plus, which includes features such as the ability to name
files, and writing tools such as a thesaurus and a custom dictionary
Control Panel SmartApplet, which lets you configure and set options
New features in Calculator
AlphaSmart Manager software, which lets you send and retrieve data between your computer and
your AlphaSmart 3000 or between your computer and an AlphaHub (which can connect up to
thirty AlphaSmart 3000s)
The ability to install or remove whatever combination of SmartApplets you want on your device
(limited by available space) using AlphaSmart Manager 2.
The System 3 update kit also contains Beamer and KeyWords SmartApplets.
Beamer is intended for IR-capable AlphaSmart 3000s. Beamer uses infrared technology to let you
share files with other devices, without the use of cables or wires.
KeyWords is a complete keyboarding and typing tutor that lets you master efficient keyboarding
skills.
The User’s Guides for these SmartApplets and AlphaSmart Manager 2 are included in .pdf format on the
AlphaSmart Manager 2 CD. Also included is the AlphaSmart 3000 System 3 Addendum.
