Inserting Handhelds into the Docking Station

1. Align the connector on the bottom of the handheld with the connector on the docking station. When facing the front of the docking station (looking at the TI-Nspire™ logo), handhelds are inserted into the slot with the keypad facing right.
2. Push the handheld into the slot. You will feel a slight resistance and hear a small “pop” as the handheld is seated.

When a handheld is properly seated in a slot:

The Transfer Status LED blinks five times to indicate the handheld is connected.
The Battery Status LED illuminates to indicate the handheld is properly seated.

If the docking station is connected to power, handhelds are automatically turned on when placed in the slot.

The slots in the TI-Nspire™ Docking Station are wide enough to accommodate a handheld with a slide case attached. When you place a handheld into a slot without a slide case, you will notice some “wiggle room.” Because the slot is big enough to accommodate a slide case, it is possible to seat a handheld incorrectly. If the handheld is seated incorrectly in the docking station, the battery will not charge and the transfer will fail.

When a docking station is fully loaded with 10 handhelds, it can weigh approximately 10 to 12 pounds. When moving a docking station to another location, always use two hands to lift the docking station. If tilted too far in any direction, handhelds can fall out of the docking station.
