Using the TI-84 Plus C in the Classroom

The TI-84 Plus C shares many features with the TI-84 Plus. However, some
features you may be accustomed to using in the classroom may differ.
Some of these differences are listed here.

SE. TI-Navigator™ software does not support the TI-84 Plus C.
• TI-84 Plus C does not work with TI-Presenter™ video adapter or
ViewScreen™ overhead panel, but the TI-84 Plus C view option in the
TI-SmartView™ software allows you to project the graphing
calculator emulator to the classroom.
• Some files and variables are compatible between the TI-84 Plus C and
the TI-84 Plus family of graphing calculators. For more information
on file compatibility, see Linking Compatibility later in this chapter.
• The TI-84 Plus C graphing calculator comes equipped with a Li-ion
rechargeable battery. To ensure battery life, store the graphing
calculators in the TI-84 Plus C Charging Station, or connect individual
graphing calculators to a wall charger.
Warning: RAM memory will be lost if the battery charge is lost. You
should back up or archive your variables if your battery power gets
low.
For more information on the batteries and the charging station, see
Battery Information and TI-84 Plus C Charging Station later in this
