Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
ii
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
RF Radiation Exposure and Hazard Statement:
To ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, this device
must be installed in a location such that the antenna of the device will be
greater than 20 cm (8 in.) away from all persons. Using higher gain
antennas and types of antennas not covered under the FCC certification
of this product is not allowed. Installers of the radio and end users of the
product must adhere to the installation instructions provided in this
manual.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
Non-modification Statement:
Use only the integral antenna supplied by the manufacturer when
operating this device. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the TI Navigator access point and violate FCC
regulations. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment.
Deployment Statement:
This product is certified for indoor deployment only. Do not install or use
this product outdoors.

Overview
The TI-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 graphing calculators.
The software contains a number of tools to enhance your classroom,
including:
• Activity Center. Lets you run interactive activities with your classes
involving lists, graphs, points, and equations.
• 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.
• Class Analysis. Lets you create, distribute, and analyze educational
content.
• LearningCheck™ Creator. Lets you create quizzes and selfassessment opportunities.
• App and OS Transfer. Lets you transfer TI Graphing Calculator
Operating System (OS) and Applications (Apps) to students’
calculators.
• 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
1
• 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.
• Online Help—After you install the TI-Navigator™ software on your
computer, you can access Online Help from the Help menu.
•The TI-Navigator™ Guidebook, a printed version of the help.
The process of unpacking the equipment, setting up the hardware, and
installing the software will probably require about two hours of your
time.
