- Description
- This handheld electronic graphing calculator has a plastic case and cover in blue, off-white, and dark gray. It has an array of thirty-seven relatively large keys, including keys for entering digits, arithmetic and trigonometric functions, programming, and control of the screen. The forty-two additional small round keys are mainly for letters and symbols. It is possible to remove the keypad (pushing a button on the back of the calculator) and replace it with a TI-84 PLUS keypad. The keys on this calculator are closer to a rectangular shape and take on more potential meanings. A mark at the bottom of this keypad reads: TI-84 PLUS KEYPAD. The box includes a plastic pouch for storing the extra keypad. A display above the keyboard splits into as many as four sections. A mark above it reads: TI-nspire (/) TEXAS INSTRUMENTS.
- A mark on the back of the calculator reads: 2016006046 S-0507.
- The calculator comes with three cables. One plugs into a jack at the bottom of the TI-84 Plus keypad and would connect to another TI-84 Plus keypad. A second plugs into the top of the calculator and would connect it to another TI-nspire. A third also plugs into the top and has a USB port, to connect to a microcomputer.
- Also in the cardboard box with the calculator is a CD in case marked: TI-nspire (/) Computer Software for Math and Science (/) Logiciel d’ordinateur pour du labo de maths. Manuals in the box have titles TI-nspire Math and Science Learning Technology and TI-nspire Computer Software for Math and Science Reference Guide.
