Turning on your TI-89 Titanium for the first time
After installing the batteries included with the calculator, press ´. The Apps desktop
appears.
Note: If your calculator initializes the preinstalled Apps, a progress bar will appear with
the message “
Installation in progress . . . Do not interrupt!” instead of the
Apps desktop. To avoid losing Apps, do not remove the batteries during initialization.
(You can re-install Apps from either the Product CD-ROM or education.ti.com
.)
