Charge TI-Nspire CX and Configure Default Settings
TI-NSpire CX is assumed to be a student calculator with color display and graphic functions. When you purchase a TI-Nspire CX Handheld calculator before you use it for the first time, charge its battery as the first thing using USB cable and then configure default settings like language, font size, etc using Setting menu.
When you purchase a TI-Nspire CX Handheld, the package includes the scientific calculator itself, a cable that connects the TI-Nspire CX Handheld to a PC using USB port and a documentation that guides the user for the functionalities of the tool.
A case is also given with the handheld but not seen in the below image now.
If you also read the guide it suggest to charge the TI-Nspire CX at first.
In some countries a cable is also provided to charge the TI-NSpire CX calculator.
If you don't have this as shown in the contents of the purchased package at above photo, you can use the USB cable to charge your calculator from your PC.
As seen above, the top input port is used for charging your calculator.
If you are charging your calculator for the first time, you might have some doubts because the two ports seem to be different from each other, they fit together as seen in below screen.
Connect the other end of the cable to the USB port of your PC.
Immediately the operating system will boot and language selection screen will be displayed if you are using your new TI-Nspire CX Handheld calculator.

As seen at the end of previous video, at first use the TI-Nspire CX requests the user to select the default language.
