Charging TI-Nspire™ CX and TI-Nspire™ CX CAS handhelds

There are several options for charging your TI-Nspire™ handhelds:

• Connect to a computer using the supplied USB cable. (Requires TI-Nspire™

computer software or TI-Nspire™ Computer Link software be installed

before connecting.)

• TI-Nspire™ Wall Adapter (Contact your educational dealer)

• TI-Nspire™ Docking Station (Multiple handhelds)

Charging your TI-Nspire™ handheld using a computer

The TI-Nspire™ handheld can be charged from a computer. TI-Nspire™ software

must be installed prior to connecting the handheld to ensure the appropriate drivers

are installed. Power management controls on some computers may prevent

continuous charge via the USB port. Stand-by and sleep modes on laptop

computers typically terminate USB connectivity to conserve power. In some cases

this can be adjusted through the device manager:

• Install the TI-Nspire™ software before connecting the handheld to the

computer. If you do not have access to the TI-Nspire™ software, install the

TI-Nspire™ Computer Link software (Free).

• Once the software is installed connect your handheld to the computer using

the USB cable provided.

• Check the connectivity between the handheld and the computer. A simple

way to do this is using the screen capture tool in either the TI-Nspire™

software or the TI-Nspire™ Computer Link software.

Note: When capturing a screen from the handheld make sure the handheld is

connected and selected. (Shown opposite)

Another option for checking connectivity between the computer and handheld is the

Device Manager (Windows®) or System Profiler (Mac®). Locate and expand the

Universal Serial Bus controllers and select: TI-Nspire™ Handheld Device.

(Shown opposite)

• When the handheld is charging the battery icon on the top right corner of the

handheld screen will display a ‘charging’ symbol. (Shown opposite)

Note: Charging status on the handheld can be checked via the Settings option

on the home screen. Select Settings followed by Status to view the current level

of charge. The status screen is not automatically refreshed, return to the home

screen to refresh the charge status information.
