Entering Test Mode with a Test Code

Note: This applies to TI-Nspire™ CX and TI-Nspire™ CX CAS software except where noted. If you do not know the test code, you can obtain it by using the Choose Restrictions method.

1.

Select File > Test Mode > Enter Test Code.

This will open the Test Mode Configuration dialog box.

2.

Enter your eight-digit test code.

If the code is valid, a green checkmark will display. The following example uses the TI Factory Default Code 0001-6382.
