Note: If you purchased the individual kit and do not have a charging bay, you can charge a single hub using the AC9930 power adapter instead. It must be connected for the hub to function on the network, but you can charge a hub with or without a network connector attached. If you remove a hub from the charging bay with no network connector attached, the hub’s power-status LED goes off until you attach a connector.
Removing the network connectors
When the hubs are out of the charging bay using battery power but are not in use, we recommend removing the network connectors from the hubs to extend battery life.
To remove a network connector from a hub, use your thumb and forefinger to squeeze the two buttons on the sides of the connector, and then pull it away from the hub.

Checking the LEDs
Three LEDs (small lights) at the top of each hub blink or change colors to indicate various operations or status.
LEDs
The LED indicates whether the hub is configured. When the network hubs are still in the charging bay: • The LED blinking in a green-amber-red sequence means the hubs are currently recharging. A solid green LED means the hub is fully charged.
•
A complete list of LED operations and status modes is available, along with complete information about the network hubs’ rechargable batteries and how to store the hubs.
Before you begin

Note: If version 1. 3 or earlier of TI Connect is already installed on your computer, the installation program will uninstall it, and install TI Connect 1. 6. Compare the number of hubs that are found with the total number of hubs in your classroom. (For example, you know you have 10 hubs in your classroom, but only 8 were found. ) 15. If some of the hubs were not found, match the serial numbers on the screen with the hubs in the classroom to identify which hubs were found. Use a sticker or some other method to mark the hubs that were found, and then press the reset button again on the hubs that were not found. When all the hubs have been found (total number of hubs matches what you have in your classroom), click OK.

Another screen indicates that the access point is being reconfigured to communicate with the hubs. When all of the hubs are found, Network Manger displays the list of hubs.

Installing the calculator operating system
Before you can use the calculators on the network, you must use the TI Connect™ software to update the operating system on each calculator. All calculators on the network must have the latest operating system installed for the TI-Navigator™ system to work properly. For TI-73 Explorer™, use OS version 1. 90 or higher, TI-83 Plus calculators, use OS version 1. 19 or higher. Note: TI-73 Explorer™ users can update the OS on all calculators at once, using the App and OS Transfer tool. An operating system may take ten minutes per calculator to transfer and install. Connect the calculator to your computer using the USB Silver Edition cable. [. . . ] To restore communication between the hub and access point, click View > Refresh. If the error message remains, select the hubs that are not working, remove them from the network, and then add them back into the network.

Problem or message The batteries in the network hubs run down during class time, resulting in dead or low batteries.
Possible causes or solutions • • Make sure the network hubs are recharged overnight every night. Normally, the network hubs’ rechargable batteries can be recharged and used for up to three years. If you charge a battery overnight and the LED on the network hub still blinks red or amber, contact Texas Instruments for help. [. . . ]
