This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment

generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference with radio communications. However, there is

no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, you can try to correct the interference by one

or more of the following measures:

¦ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

¦ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

¦ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

¦ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician

for help.

Caution:

Any changes or modifications to this equipment not

expressly approved by Texas Instruments may void your authority to

operate the equipment.

What’s New?

TI developed the Advanced Mathematics

Software Version 2.0 to enable

downloadable calculator software

applications for the

TI

-

89

and

TI

-

92 Plus

.

For details, refer to:

Chapter 21 and 22

Advanced Mathematics Software Version 2.0 is an infrastructure

enhancement of the current Advanced Mathematics Software

Version 1.xx. It has all the features of Version 1.xx. The improved

infrastructure enables multiple downloadable calculator software

applications, language localization. This enhancement also provides

your new

TI

-

89 / TI

-

92 Plus

with

maximum reapportionment of the

over 702-KB Flash memory between user data archive and calculator

software applications.

All previous

TI

-

89

and

TI

-

92 Plus Modules

can be upgraded to Version

2.0. However, on some

TI

-

89

and all

TI

-

92 Plus Module

units, the user

data archive can only occupy a maximum of 384-KB of the over 702-

KB Flash memory shared with calculator software applications.

You can download Advanced Mathematics Software Version

2.0 to your computer from the TI web site at

education.ti.com

,

then transfer it to your TI

-

89 / TI

-

92 Plus using the

TI™ Connect

or

TI GRAPH LINK™

software and a

TI-GRAPH LINK

cable. The Advanced Mathematics Software is free from the TI

web site at

education.ti.com

.

The

TI

-

89 / TI

-

92 Plus

can be localized into

other languages. These free applications

translate prompts, error messages, and

most functions into one of several

languages.

For details, refer to:

Chapter 1

The improved user interface allows folder collapse/expand and

expands the

CATALOG

menu to include application functions and

user-defined functions.

The

TI

-

89 / TI

-

92 Plus

uses Flash technology,

which lets you upgrade future software

versions without buying a new calculator.

For details, refer to:

Chapter 22

As new functionality becomes available, you can electronically

upgrade your

TI

-

89 / TI

-

92 Plus

. Future software versions include

maintenance upgrades that will be released free of charge, as well as

new applications and major future upgrades that will be available for

purchase from the TI web site.

To download upgrades from the TI web site, you must have an

Internet-connected computer,

TI™ Connect or TI-GRAPH LINK™

software, and a

TI-GRAPH LINK

cable. You can also transfer the

product software (operating system) and Flash applications from

one

TI

-

89 / TI

-

92 Plus

to another using a unit-to-unit cable, provided

that the receiving calculator is also licensed to run that software.

New to the

TI

-

92 Plus

is the custom menu feature that lets you create

your own toolbar menu. A custom menu can contain any available

function, instruction, or set of characters. The

TI

-

92 Plus

has a default

custom menu that you can modify or redefine.
