Updating the Handheld Operating System
To take advantage of the latest handheld features and updates, download the
latest operating system files from the Education Technology website
(education.ti.com). You can update the operating system (OS) on TI-Nspire™
handhelds using a computer and the following software:
• TI-Nspire™ CX Teacher Software
• TI-Nspire™ CX Student Software
• TI-Nspire™ CX CAS Teacher Software
• TI-Nspire™ CX CAS Student Software
• TI-Nspire™ CX Navigator™ Teacher Software
• TI-Nspire™ CX CAS Navigator™ Teacher Software
In the classroom, you can use the TI-Nspire™ Docking Stations to upgrade the
OS on multiple handhelds at the same time.
You can also transfer the OS from one TI-Nspire™ handheld to another or from
one TI-Nspire™ CX handheld to another. However, handheld operating
systems are not interchangeable. You cannot transfer a CAS operating system
to a non-CAS handheld and you cannot transfer a TI-Nspire™ handheld
operating system to a TI-Nspire™ CX handheld.
What You Need to Know
• If there is not enough room on the receiving handheld for the upgrade, a
message is displayed. For more information, see
Memory and File
Management.
• OS upgrade operations do not delete user documents. The only time
documents are 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 important documents and
folders before installing an updated operating system.
Warning: Upgrading the operating system will delete all TI-84 applications and
files. Before installing an OS upgrade, you should use TIConnect 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.
