60 Configuring Handhelds
The amount of time required to fully charge the battery may vary, but charging
normally takes about six hours. It is not necessary to remove the TI-Nspire™
Rechargeable Battery from the handheld to recharge it. The handheld operates
normally while it is attached to a charging source.
Recharging a Battery from a Computer
To recharge a handheld from a computer, a TI-Nspire™ USB driver must be installed.
USB drivers are standard with any TI-Nspire™ software, which includes:
• TI-Nspire™ CX Premium Teacher Software
• TI-Nspire™ CX CAS Premium Teacher Software
• TI-Nspire™ CX Student Software
• TI-Nspire™ CX CAS Student Software
To download software that includes a driver, go to education.ti.com/software.
Understanding the Priority of Power Sources
When the TI-Nspire™ Rechargeable Battery is fully charged, the handheld draws power
in the following order:
• First, from a connected external power source, such as:
- A computer connected through a standard USB cable
- An approved wall charger (sold separately)
• Second, from the TI-Nspire™ Rechargeable Battery
Disposing of Used Batteries Safely and Properly
Do not mutilate, puncture or dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries can burst or
explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. Discard used batteries according to local
regulations.
