Communication Error This error indicates the Flash Installer is unable to communicate with the TI-83 Plus. The problem is usually associated with the TI-GRAPH LINK cable and its connection to the TI-83 Plus and/or to the computer. Make sure the cable is firmly pushed into the calculator and the computer.
Miscellaneous If you obtain new or upgraded software for your TI-83 Plus, you may need to provide your current software version and/or the serial number of your unit. It is also good to know your version number in case you have difficulties with your TI-83 Plus and need to contact technical support.
