Get Utility for Windows allows the user to send text from a PC to an AlphaSmart 3000, an

AlphaSmart 2000 or an AlphaSmart Pro version 2.09, or version 2.1.3 or newer (not to version

2.1 or 2.1.2).

The program transfers the current "Text in Clipboard" to an attached AlphaSmart. (The Clipboard

is a memory buffer that allows transfer of information between different programs).

Get Utility Communication Options

There are 3 ways to communicate between your AlphaSmart and your PC using the Get Utility:

1) Using a USB cable (with the AlphaSmart 3000 only)

2) Using the keyboard port with the PC Y cable

3) Using an Infrared (IrDA) adapter: AlphaSmart PC IR Wireless Pod (serial) or USB IR

Wireless Pod

Note: Some methods of connection are available only with specific versions of the Windows

operating system. The compatibility chart below shows the methods that apply to each version:

Installing the Get Utility

IMPORTANT: If you are using a USB IR Pod, you must complete the Get Utility Setup before

connecting the pod to your PC.

Insert "Get Utility" CD-ROM disk into drive. Windows should automatically launch the Get

Utility Setup.

If Windows fails to launch the setup, look in the "Get Utility Setup" directory on the CD for

Setup.exe and run it. (Note: You may have Windows Explorer set to hide file extensions and

so you will only see a number of icons called Setup instead of Setup.exe in the Get Utility

Setup directory. When you move your mouse over the file it should display the whole file

name in a pop up box.)

Follow the onscreen instructions in Get Utility Setup.

If you are using a USB IR Pod, you can connect the pod to your computer once you have

installed the Get Utility.

Connecting the AlphaSmart to the PC

Using a USB cable (AlphaSmart 3000 only): Plug the USB cable (Series A to Series B) into

the AlphaSmart 3000 "Computer" connector, and connect the other end of the cable to the

USB port on the PC. This port is often located on the back of the PC.
