Connecting the Receiver

NOTE: Install SMART Response software before you connect your SMART Response receiver.

To connect the receiver

  1. Position the receiver in an unobstructed location away from other wireless products, such as 2.4 GHz routers and cordless telephones.

  2. For temporary installations, place the receiver on top of your desk.

  3. For permanent installations, mount the receiver on a wall or on the front of a piece of furniture using two screws (not provided).

Orient the receiver with the long side or edge facing the class as shown.

  1. Insert the receiver's captive USB cable connector into an available USB receptacle on your computer.

The top LED light on the receiver lights up to indicate that the receiver is receiving power.

On Windows computers, the first time you connect the receiver, a balloon message appears from the notification area indicating that new hardware has been detected.

IMPORTANT: If the balloon message indicates that Windows is starting to try to locate a driver from the Microsoft website, stop the search. If Windows can't find the driver on your computer, you haven't installed SMART Response software. Install the software and repeat the above procedure.

  1. Check that the receiver is working properly.
