96 Updating the Handheld Operating System
When in OS download mode, the Automatic Power Down™ (APD™) feature does not
function. If you leave your handheld in download mode for an extended time before
you begin the downloading process, your batteries may become depleted. You will then
need to replace or recharge the batteries before downloading the OS.
Finding Operating System Updates
For up-to-date information about available OS upgrades, check the Texas Instruments
website at education.ti.com.
You can download an OS upgrade from the Texas Instruments website to a computer,
and use a USB cable to install the OS on your TI-Nspire™ handheld. You will need an
Internet connection and the appropriate USB cable to download the updates.
