General Information
The TI-10 has two power sources — battery and solar. It
operates in well-lit areas using the solar cell, and it operates
in other light settings using the battery.
Examples
: See the “Examples” page for problems with
keystroke sequences that demonstrate many of TI-10
functions and capabilities. Before starting each problem set,
reset and clear the TI-10 by pressing
b”
. This helps to
ensure that your displays are the same as those shown in
the examples. In Problem Solving
AUTO
mode, however,
displays will vary from those shown in the examples
because the problems presented by the TI-10 are random.
