Overview
The TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ classroom learning system from Texas
Instruments can help you:
•
Assess student understanding.
•
Verify that students are on task.
•
Use classroom results to engage students.
•
Get immediate feedback from your students to promote student
achievement.
The system is composed of two parts, hardware and software. The
hardware creates a wireless communications network so that your
computer can communicate with your students’ TI-Nspire™ and TI-Nspire
CAS handhelds. The software contains a number of tools to enhance your
classroom, including:
•
Quick Poll. Lets you send polls to your students, receive the
students’ responses to the polls, and review the poll results with your
students.
•
Screen Capture. Lets you capture your students’ calculator screens.
•
Transfer tools. Multiple tools that let you send, collect, and delete
data files on your students’ calculators.
You can obtain educational content on the Web at TI’s Activities
Exchange (education.ti.com/activities.) Or, using the tools on the product
CD, you can create your own:
•
StudyCard™ stacks
•
CellSheet™ application variables
•
TI NoteFolio™ Creator text files that you transfer to TI calculators
•
TImeSpan™ Creator timelines of chronological events that can be
viewed on a TI calculator
•
Data sets (lists, matrices, and so on)
There are several ways to learn to set up and use the TI-Navigator™
system:
•
The Getting Started poster—a short version of the setup process with
fewer details.
•
The Installation Guide (this book, provided in both printed and PDF
formats)—complete setup details, troubleshooting, and technical
information.
•
The TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Guidebook (provided in both printed
and PDF formats)—after you install the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™
software on your computer, you can use the book or PDF file as a
reference for the software tools.
The process of unpacking the equipment, setting up the hardware, and
installing the software will probably require about two hours of your
time.

Charging the wireless cradles
The TI-Nspire Navigator wireless cradles contain rechargable batteries.
You must charge the batteries overnight before using them in your class.
When the cradles are fully charged, they will function all day under
continuous use. You should recharge them each night.
The TI-Nspire™ cradle charging bay can hold from one to five wireless
cradles. After you place the cradles in the charging bay, they are charged
simultaneously until all are fully charged. If the batteries are fully
discharged, it may take up to 12 hours to fully charge the batteries.
With five wireless cradles in the charging bay, you should charge them
for 12 hours. Typically this is done overnight or over a weekend. When
the wireless cradles are fully charged in the bay, the LED shows solid
green.
Note: You cannot damage the batteries by leaving them in the charging
bay beyond the time needed to fully charge them. Also, it is not
necessary to fully discharge the batteries before recharging them.
1.
Make sure you have enough (3–4) power outlets for the equipment
you received. If necessary, obtain a plug strip so that you have plenty
of grounded outlets.
2.

charging bay’s power jack.
3.
Plug the other end of the adapter into a power outlet.
4.
Insert each TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ wireless cradle into the TI-Nspire
cradle charging bay. You can insert them only one way.
Note: If you purchased the individual kit and do not have a cradle
charging bay, you can charge a single wireless cradle using the AC9930
adapter instead.

bay. If you only need to charge one cradle, you can connect the
AC9926 power adapter directly from the cradle to a power outlet.
•
It is not necessary to fully discharge the batteries before recharging
them.
•
Do not leave the wireless cradles in an extremely cold or extremely
warm location, such as inside an automobile in hot weather.
•
Every few weeks, you should clean the electrical contacts on the
charging bay and the wireless cradles using a clean, dry cloth.
Storing the wireless cradles
If you need to store the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ wireless cradles for more
than two weeks:
•
Store the cradles in a cool, dry place.
•
Fully charge the cradles at least once every 10-12 months.

This section provides troubleshooting information related to the
TI-Navigator™ hardware and the Network Manager software. For
information about the TI-Navigator™ software, see the TI-Navigator™
Reference Guide or TI-Navigator™ Help.
Lost connections
Certain actions, such as resetting the access point, can cause the
TI-Navigator™ network to lose its connection to one or more wireless
cradles. This can occur even when Network Manager reports that the
cradles are responding.
If you attempt to transfer data to or from calculators, and some of the
wireless cradles do not respond (even though they are listed as “found”),
try to disconnect the TI-Nspire™ handheld from the offending cradle,
and then re-connect it.
