The TI-Nspire™ CX Navigator™ classroom learning system uses both your computer and student handhelds. For you and your students to communicate using the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ network, students must log in to the network from their handhelds.
Note: You do not have to log in to communicate with student handhelds; you can use the Transfer Tool to delete files or send files and operating systems to student handhelds. However, if you plan to participate from your handheld during the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ class session, then you must log in to the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ network from your handheld.
For more information on using a handheld, refer to the handheld guidebooks available at education.ti.com/guides.
Before you log in, make sure these items are ready:
| • | You have created your teacher account in Teacher Preferences. |
| • | You have started a class session on your computer. |
| • | The TI-Nspire™ handheld is ready for login. (The  icon is blinking.) |
Before your students log in, make sure you complete these items:
| • | Create student accounts. |
| • | Provide students with the class network name, their user names and, if necessary, their passwords. |
