72 Connecting Handhelds and Transferring Files
Connecting the TI-Nspire™ Handheld to a Computer
1. Firmly insert the mini-USB end of the cable into the port at the top of your
handheld.
2. Firmly insert the USB end of the cable into the USB port of the computer.
Transferring Files between Handhelds
You can send documents, Operating System (OS) files, and folders to another TI-
Nspire™ handheld.
Note: TI-Nspire™ CX handhelds must be running v4.5.1 or later of the OS in order to
transfer to or from TI-Nspire™ CX II handhelds.
Rules for Transferring Files and Folders
• You can transfer documents and OS files.
• Operating systems are not interchangeable between different handheld types. For
example, you cannot transfer a CAS operating system to a non-CAS handheld.
• If a document with the same name as the one you are sending already exists on
the receiving handheld, the document will be renamed. The system appends a
number to the name to make it unique. For example, if Mydata existed on the
receiving handheld, it would be renamed Mydata(2).
Both the sending and receiving handhelds will display a message that shows the
new name.
• There is a 255-character maximum length for a file name, including the entire
path. If a transmitted file has the same name as an existing file on the receiving
handheld and the file names contain 255 characters, the name of the transmitted
file will be truncated to enable the software to follow the renaming scheme
described in the previous paragraph.
• All variables associated with the document being transmitted are transferred with
the document.
• Transmissions will time out after 30 seconds.
Caution: Some older TI-Nspire™ handhelds cannot receive folders; only files. If you
receive an error in sending to an older TI-Nspire™ handheld, see Common error and
notification messages.
Sending a Document or Folder to Another Handheld
1. Ensure the two handhelds are connected.
2. Open the My Documents file browser and navigate to the file or folder you want to
transfer.
3. Press the 5 and 6 keys on the Touchpad to highlight the document or folder you
want to send.
4. Press ~ 1 6 to select Send from the Documents menu.
