Installing handheld software applications
You can update the functionality of your TI-73 Explorer™ by installing
handheld software applications (Apps). Installing Apps on your TI-73
Explorer is similar to installing new software applications on your
computer.
After downloading an App to your computer, use TI Connect™ or
TI-GRAPH LINK™ software and a TI Connectivity cable to install the App
on your TI-73 Explorer. You can find the latest Apps and a TI Connectivity
Kit at education.ti.com/shop
.
Note: Before downloading an App, ensure your TI-73 Explorer has
enough memory available. (See “3:Check APPs - Ÿ” on page 31.) If
not, consider saving an existing App to your computer and then deleting
it from your handheld to increase the amount of free space available.
