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: The TI-Navigator™ access point and the TI-Nspire™
Navigator™ wireless cradle comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) These devices
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) these devices 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, the
TI-Navigator™ access point 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 these devices. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the TI-Navigator™ access point or TI-Nspire™
Navigator™ wireless cradle 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-Nspire™ 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-Nspire™ and TI-Nspire
CAS handhelds. The software contains a number of tools to enhance your
classroom, including:
• 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.
• 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
• 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.
1
•The TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Guidebook (provided in both printed
and PDF formats)—after you install the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™
software on your computer, you can use the book or PDF file as a
reference for the software tools.
The process of unpacking the equipment, setting up the hardware, and
installing the software will probably require about two hours of your
time.
System requirements
Minimum system requirements
• Windows® Vista Ultimate, Home, Business, or Pro installed;
Windows® XP Professional with Service Pack 1, 2, or 3 installed; or
Windows® 2000 with Service Pack 4 installed.

• Video adapter set at 1024 x 768 screen resolution
• 256 MB RAM (512 MB recommended)

TI-Navigator™ and Network Manager) (Since Class Analysis and
Learning Check Creator were taken out, we probably need less
space?)
• CD-ROM drive
• Available USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed USB) port on the computer
• Internet Explorer version 5.5 or higher (installed and operational)
Other requirements
• The TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ system communicates with the TI-Nspire

may already own these. Handhelds are not included with the
TI-Nspire Navigator system.
• The latest operating system (1.3) must be installed on each handheld
used with the TI-Nspire Navigator system. These operating systems
are included on the CD and are available at education.ti.com/latest.
• The TI-Nspire Computer Link software must be installed on your
computer to download the latest operating system to your
handheld. The TI-Nspire Computer Link software is available at
education.ti.com.
• A USB cable is required to connect the TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS
handhelds to the computer. The USB cable is not included with the
TI-Nspire Navigator system.
