Compatibility
Check the PASCO Web page at
www.pasco.com/compatibility
for the latest information on Bluetooth SMART
compatibility.
*The PS-3500 USB Bluetooth 4.0
Adapter, when connected to a USB
port, allows up to three Bluetooth
SMART devices, such as this PASCO
wireless device, to connect to Windows
computers, Chromebooks, and older
Macintosh computers.
Note: The PS-3500 USB Bluetooth 4,0
Adapter is the only adapter we can currently
recommend. Many other Bluetooth 4.0 adapters are
available but this adapter has a specific design that
enables in-app pairing of Bluetooth SMART sensors.
