RAM ARCHIVE ALL Menu
Reset displays the RAM ARCHIVE ALL menu. This menu gives you the option of resetting all memory
(including default settings) or resetting selected portions of memory while preserving other data stored
in memory, such as programs and
Y= functions. For instance, you can choose to reset all of RAM or just
restore the default settings. Be aware that if you choose to reset RAM, all data and programs in RAM
will be erased.
Note: Pics and Images in archive are not deleted when RAM is reset.
For archive memory, you can reset variables (Vars), applications (Apps), or both of these. Be aware that
if you choose to reset Vars, all data and programs in archive memory will be erased. If you choose to
reset Apps, all applications in archive memory will be erased.
When you reset defaults on the TI-84 Plus C, all defaults in RAM are restored to the factory settings.
Stored data and programs are not changed.
These are some examples of TI-84 Plus C defaults that are restored by resetting the defaults.

Normal (notation); Func (graphing); Real (numbers); and Full (screen)
• Y= functions off
• Window variable values such as
Xmin=L10, Xmax=10, Xscl=1, Yscl=1, and Xres=1
• STAT PLOTS off
• Format settings such as CoordOn (graphing coordinates on); AxesOn; and ExprOn (expression on)

Resetting RAM Memory
Resetting all RAM restores RAM system variables to factory settings and deletes all nonsystem variables
and all programs. Resetting RAM defaults restores all system variables to default settings without
deleting variables and programs in RAM. Resetting all RAM or resetting defaults does not affect
variables and applications in user data archive (Pic Vars and Image Vars in archive are not deleted by a
RAM reset).
Note: Before you reset all RAM memory, consider restoring sufficient available memory by deleting
only selected data.
