Connecting the TI-Nspire™ handheld to a computer
Upgrading the Operating System
You can upgrade the OS on your TI-Nspire™ handheld using your
computer and TI-Nspire™ Computer Link Software. You can also transfer
the OS from one handheld to another.
Warning: Upgrading the operating system will delete all TI-84
applications and files. Before installing an OS upgrade, you should use TI
Connect to back up all TI-84 applications and files to a computer. You can
copy them back to the handheld when the OS upgrade is complete.
If there is not enough room on the receiving handheld for the upgrade,
the sending handheld is notified. The only time documents can be
affected by an OS installation is if the receiving handheld has a corrupted
OS. In this situation, documents may be affected by OS restoration. It is a
good practice to back up your important documents and folders before
installing an updated operating system.
See the important information below concerning batteries before
performing an OS upgrade.
Important Operating System download information
It is always a good practice to install new batteries before beginning an
OS download.
When in OS download mode, the Automatic Power Down
TM
(APD)
feature does not function. If you leave your handheld in download mode
for an extended time before you begin the downloading process, your
batteries may become depleted. You will then need to replace the
batteries with new batteries before downloading.
Where to get Operating System upgrades
