Repeating Transmission to Several Devices
After transmission is complete, the LINK menu is displayed and all selections remain. You can
transmit the same selections to a different TI -86 without having to re-select data.
To repeat a transmission with another device, disconnect the unit-to-unit cable from the
receiving unit; connect it to another device; prepare the device to receive data; and then
select
SEND , then ALL , and then XMIT .
Error Conditions
A transmission error occurs after a few seconds if:
♦
The cable is not connected to the port of the sending calculator.
♦
The cable is not connected to the port of the receiving calculator.
♦
The receiving unit is not set to receive transmission.
♦
You attempt a backup between a TI -86 and a TI-85.
Insufficient Memory in Receiving Unit
If the receiving unit does not have sufficient memory to receive an item, the receiving unit
displays
LINK MEMORY FULL and the variable name and data type.
♦
To skip the variable, select SKIP . Transmission resumes with the next item.
♦
To cancel transmission altogether, select EXIT .
If the cable is connected but
a transmission error occurs,
push the cable in more firmly
to both calculators and try
again.
