2. Firmly insert the USB end of the cable into the USB port of the computer.

Transferring Files to and from Handhelds

You can send documents, Operating System (OS) files and folders to another
TI-Nspire™ handheld.
Rules for Transferring Files and Folders
• You can transfer documents and OS files.
• Operating systems are not interchangeable between different handheld
types. For example, you cannot transfer a CAS operating system to a non-
CAS handheld.
• If a document with the same name as the one you are sending already
exists on the receiving handheld, the document will be renamed. The
system appends a number to the name to make it unique. For example, if
Mydata existed on the receiving handheld, it would be renamed Mydata
(2).
Both the sending and receiving handhelds will display a message that
shows the new name.
• There is a 255-character maximum length for a file name, including the
entire path. If a transmitted file has the same name as an existing file on
the receiving handheld and the file names contain 255 characters, the
name of the transmitted file will be truncated to enable the software to
follow the renaming scheme described in the previous paragraph.
