Charging the Cradles

The TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ wireless cradles contain rechargeable batteries. You must charge the batteries overnight before using them in class. When the cradles are fully charged, they will function all day under continuous use. You should recharge them each night.

The TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Cradle Charging Bay can hold from one to five cradles. After you place the cradles in the charging bay, they are charged simultaneously until all are fully charged. If the batteries are fully discharged, it may take up to 12 hours to fully charge the batteries.

Note: You cannot damage the batteries by leaving them in the charging bay beyond the time needed to fully charge them. Also, it is not necessary to fully discharge the batteries before recharging them.

Make sure you have enough (3 to 4) power outlets for the equipment you received. If necessary, obtain a power strip so that you have plenty of grounded outlets.

1. Insert the small end of the AC9940 power adapter cord into the charging bay’s power jack.

2. Plug the other end of the adapter into a power outlet.
3. Insert each TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Cradle into the TI‑Nspire™ Navigator™ Cradle Charging Bay. Make sure the LED is amber.

Note: You can charge a single wireless cradle using an AC9926 adapter (sold separately).

Checking the LEDs

Two LEDs (small lights) at the top of each TI‑Nspire™ Navigator™ wireless cradle blink or change colors to indicate various operations or status.

 

 

 

LEDs

The LED indicates network activity. The LED indicates battery-charging status.

When the cradles are still in the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Cradle Charging Bay:

A solid amber LED means the wireless cradle is currently recharging.
A solid red LED means the wireless cradle does not have good contact with the charging bay. Reposition the cradle to establish good contact and the LED turns amber.
A solid green LED means the wireless cradle is fully charged.
