[. . . ] 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 to 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, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • • • • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. [. . . ] Students can attach a lanyard to wear the Lab Cradle around their neck. This feature lets students keep their hands free to steady themselves in rough terrain during remote data collection activities. When collecting data for an experiment that subjects the Lab Cradle to intense movement, TI recommends that students wear a Vernier Data Vest or zip-up jacket with the sensor secured both around the student’s neck as well as to the student’s chest. For example, if a student is measuring speed or motion on a roller coaster, the Lab Cradle may bounce around due to the movement of the roller coaster. Wearing a zip-up jacket or Vernier Data Vest limits the movement of the Lab Cradle. 4 TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle Durability The Lab Cradle is durable enough to withstand extensive use in the classroom and in the field. It is designed to survive being dropped from a height of 36 inches, the height of a standard lab table. 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. 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. 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. 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. You will need an Internet connection and the appropriate USB cable to download the updates. Checking for Lab Cradle OS Updates When using TI-Nspire™ software, you can quickly determine if your Lab Cradle OS is up to date when the Lab Cradle is connected to a computer. Open the TI-Nspire™ software and ensure the Lab Cradle is connected to your computer. In the Documents Workspace, click 10 TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle to open Content Explorer. 3.
