NiCad Rechargeable Battery Pack
This pack eliminates the need to buy batteries. It is installed
in the battery compartment and replaces the two AA batter-
ies. With normal use, you will need to recharge the battery
pack only once a week, using the AC adapter described
above. When the AlphaSmart is either plugged into the AC
adapter or attached to the Macintosh, it is recharging the
battery pack.
■ TURBOTRANSFER SOFTWARE
For Mac users who write frequently, you can significantly
speed up the transfer of data (approximately 6 times faster)
by using TurboTransfer software.
The TurboTransfer software disk contains an extension (file)
that you need to “drop” into the System folder on your
Macintosh. When you do so, the Mac will prompt you with
the following message:
Extensions need to be stored in the Extensions folder in order to be
available to the Macintosh. Put “TurboTransfer 1.x” into the
Extensions folder?
Click OK and restart the computer with the AlphaSmart
disconnected in order to load the extension. Now you are
ready to download at turbo speeds!
To deactivate this extension, simply drag it out of the
Extensions folder (within the System folder) onto the desk-
top and restart the computer.

Your repaired AlphaSmart will be returned to you within two
weeks of receipt.
If damages are due to accident or abuse, then you will be
charged for the parts replaced and repair handling fee.
■ ALPHASMART ACCESSORIES
To make your AlphaSmart even more useful and convenient
to use, Intelligent Peripheral Devices, Inc. offers several
accessories, some of which you may have received with your
AlphaSmart. See your dealer for information on pricing and
bundling.
AC Adapter
This allows the AlphaSmart to be used when its batteries are
either discharged or not available. It is also used to charge
the NiCad Rechargeable Battery Pack, when it is installed in
an AlphaSmart.
Carrying Case
This black denier polyester carrying case protects the
AlphaSmart from damage during moving or storage. It also
has a small handle for carrying convenience.
Mac “Y” Cable
This cable streamlines the process of connecting the
AlphaSmart to your Macintosh by making it unnecessary to
disconnect the Macintosh keyboard every time you want to
transfer a file. See the section Installing the Mac “Y” Cable for
more information.
The Mac “Y” cable is required when connecting to a
Macintosh with an “Apple Design Keyboard,” model
#M2980, since this keyboard has an attached ADB cable
and only one ADB connector.
PC Dual Cable
A special adapter cable is required to connect an AlphaSmart
to a PC. There are two different types of keyboard cables
used on different models of PCs: 5-pin and 6-pin. The PC
Dual cable allows an AlphaSmart to be attached to either a
5-pin or 6-pin PC.
