System 3 Update Guide 11
Warning! Do not unplug the cable from your AlphaSmart 3000 while the update is running. You can
damage the AlphaSmart 3000 if you do.
6. When the update is through, a message appears. Click OK.
You can now unplug the cable from your AlphaSmart 3000. When you turn on the device, the version
number that appears in the opening screen will be 1.6. You’ll need to repeat these steps to update any
additional devices you have that are prior to version 1.4.
To go on and update your device(s) to System 3 now, follow the instructions described in “Updating
devices to System 3” on page 4.
What’s new in System 3
System 3 is the latest operating system for AlphaSmart 3000s. System 3 extends the capabilities of your
device and lets you work more efficiently. The following sections provide an overview of System 3
features.
SmartApplets menu
The System 3 SmartApplets menu is the place to quickly switch between the SmartApplets on your
AlphaSmart 3000. Press
applets at anytime to go to the SmartApplets menu, then choose the
SmartApplet you want to work with.
From the SmartApplets menu, you can set a startup SmartApplet, which is the SmartApplet that
appears first when you turn on your AlphaSmart 3000. (The default SmartApplet is AlphaWord Plus.) If
you don’t select a startup SmartApplet, the AlphaSmart 3000 places you in whatever SmartApplet and
file you were working in when you turned the device off.
Note: Spell Check and Thesaurus are “hidden” SmartApplets. That is, they take up memory on a
device, and they appear in AlphaSmart Manager 2 as SmartApplets, but you can’t access them as
standalone SmartApplets on your AlphaSmart 3000. Consequently, they aren’t available from the
SmartApplets menu.
To set a startup SmartApplet from the SmartApplets menu:
1. Press applets and scroll to select the SmartApplet you want to start when you turn on your
AlphaSmart 3000.
2. Press ctrl-applets. An asterisk designating the startup SmartApplet appears in the menu.
Repeat the steps to turn the setting off.
