Connecting a calculator or CBL 2/CBR 2 37

Note
• While a calculator is connected, you can continue to perform
operations by clicking keys on TI-SmartView™. You can also run
applications (such as Cabri® Jr., Inequality Graphing, or
Transformation Graphing) or any programs stored on
TI-SmartView™.
• All calculations use the TI-SmartView™ emulator state, not the
connected calculator’s. If the connected calculator contains data,
applications, or programs that are not on TI-SmartView™, you
cannot access those items.
– Suppose the variable a equals 20 on the calculator but is not
defined on TI-SmartView™. If you calculate 5a, the answer will
not be 100 as you may expect.
– Even if TI-SmartView™ contains the same application or
program as the calculator, it may be in a different location on
the menu. For example, an application may be item 3 on the
APPLICATIONS menu on TI-SmartView™ and item 2 on the
connected calculator. So pressing Œ 2 may give unexpected
results.
• The connected calculator turns off automatically if not used for
about five minutes. To continue using it, turn the calculator on.
• You do not need TI Connect™ software on your computer to control
TI-SmartView™.
