Storing/Operating Temperature Ranges The Lab Cradle storage temperature range is between -40°C (32° F) to 70°C (158° F). The Lab Cradle, when used as a stand-alone data collection tool, operates in temperatures from 10° C (50° F) to 45° C (113° F). Triggering Methods The Lab Cradle has two options for triggering data collection—automatic or manual. To use automatic triggering, define the criteria in the Vernier DataQuest™ application to start data collection. The Lab Cradle can trigger on either an increasing or decreasing value. Manual triggering is defined in the Vernier DataQuest™ app. By setting the trigger delay value to zero, you can start data collection by pressing the trigger button on the Lab Cradle when using it as a stand-alone data collection tool. You can define a delay in triggering the data collection when using the Lab Cradle with a computer or handheld. The Vernier DataQuest™ app starts a countdown based on the time delay you define. When the countdown reaches zero, the Lab Cradle and its connected sensors begin collecting data. Multi-Channel Data Collection You can connect up to five sensors to the Lab Cradle. It provides three analog BT connectors and two digital BT connectors. The Lab Cradle supports multi-channel data collection by allowing you to collect data through all five sensors at the same time. • • • Wall charger USB Cable connected to a computer TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Cradle Charging Bay Charging with an AC Wall Charger Connect the plug to a standard AC wall outlet and the mini-B USB connector to the TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle. Charging with a USB Cable The Lab Cradle can be charged using a standard USB cable. Attach the mini-B connector to the Lab Cradle and the USB type A connector into the computer. The Lab Cradle will fully charge in less than 12 hours. TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle 9 Charging with a Charging Bay Use the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Cradle Charging Bay to charge five Lab Cradles at the same time. A full charging bay with dead Lab Cradle units fully charges those units in less than 12 hours. You can leave the Lab Cradle in the charging bay even if fully charged. You can recharge at any time regardless of the current charge level. The charging bay is only included in certain bundled packages. The charging bay works with Lab Cradles or with Lab Cradles connected to handhelds. Upgrading the Operating System Before You Begin Before beginning an OS download, ensure that batteries are at least 25 percent charged. If attached to a handheld, remove the handheld before updating the Lab Cradle. You cannot update the OS with the handheld attached. Finding Operating System Upgrades For up-to-date information about available OS upgrades, check the Texas Instruments website at education. ti. com. You can download an OS upgrade from the Texas Instruments website to a computer, and use a USB cable to install the OS on your TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle. [. . . ] If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. Be Careful of Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded • • • • • 16 Appendix: Service and Support AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous.
