Operation Manual

Chapter 1: Getting Started with the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition 36
Place the charging station on a flat, stable surface such as a table. You can also use a wheeled cart if you
need to move the charging station from classroom to classroom. When deciding on a location, it is
important to consider proximity to a power source such as a power strip or wall outlet.
Preparing Charging Stations for Use
The TI-84 Plus C Charging Station is shipped with the following components in each package:
• A TI-84 Plus C Charging Station
• An AC adapter
• A regional power cord adapter
1. Insert the small end of the power adapter cord into the charging station’s power jack.
2. Plug the other end of the adapter into a power outlet.
Inserting Graphing Calculators into the Charging Station
The slots in the TI-84 Plus C Charging Station are designed to accommodate a graphing calculator
without a slide case attached. The calculator will not fit in the slots if the slide case is attached.
The front of the calculator must face the front of the charging station. You may cause damage to the
TI-84 Plus C graphing calculator if you try to force it into the charging station facing the wrong
direction. When looking at the TI logo on the charging station, calculators are inserted into the slot
with the keypad facing left.
1. Remove the slide case from the graphing calculator.
2. Align the grooves on the sides of the graphing calculator with the guides in the charging station
slots. Ensure the calculator is facing the proper direction.
3. Gently push the graphing calculator into the slot. You will feel a slight resistance; continue pushing
down until the graphing calculator is seated.
When the TI-84 Plus C graphing calculator is properly seated in a slot, the LED light on the side of the
calculator turns amber to indicate it is charging.
Charging Batteries
The TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition graphing calculator uses a Li Ion TI Rechargeable Battery.
The charging process starts automatically when a graphing calculator is placed in a slot on a powered
charging station. You can charge a classroom set of graphing calculators overnight.
Determining Battery Status
The LED light on each connected graphing calculator in the charging station provides basic information
about the status of the rechargeable battery.
• When the light is amber, the battery is charging.
• When the light is green, the battery is fully charged.
