Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How to clear only the RAM on my TI-84 Plus? To clear only the RAM (which includes programs and variables), press [2ND], then [MEM], select 7:Reset..., then 1:All RAM..., and confirm with 2:Yes.
How to reset the display contrast on a TI-84 Plus? The contrast isn't reset by a full calculator reset, but you can adjust it by pressing [2ND] and then the [UP ARROW] (to darken) or [DOWN ARROW] (to lighten) keys.
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
How to fix a frozen TI-84 Plus without losing data? Try the "soft reset" by gently inserting a straightened paperclip into the small hole on the back of the calculator for 2-3 seconds. This usually reboots the calculator without clearing memory.
How to check if my TI-84 Plus batteries are low? While there isn't a direct "battery level" indicator, erratic behavior, dim screen, or the calculator turning off unexpectedly are signs of low batteries. Replace all four AAA batteries.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
How to reset individual settings on my TI-84 Plus, like angle mode? You can change individual settings manually. For angle mode, press the [MODE] key and then scroll to "RADIAN" or "DEGREE" and press [ENTER].

How to restore default settings on my TI-84 Plus without clearing programs? Press [2ND], then [MEM], select 7:Reset..., then 2:Defaults..., and confirm with 2:Yes. This resets settings but not your stored programs.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
How to completely wipe all data from a used TI-84 Plus? Perform both an "All RAM" clear (2nd, MEM, 7:Reset, 1:All RAM) and an "Archive" clear (2nd, MEM, 7:Reset, 3:Archive).
How to back up programs from my TI-84 Plus before resetting? You can use the TI Connect software on your computer to connect your calculator and transfer programs and data for backup.
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
How to prevent my TI-84 Plus from losing data after battery replacement? Ensure the small backup lithium battery (CR1616 or CR1620, depending on model) is functional. If it's dead, replace it, as it maintains memory when the main AAA batteries are removed.
How to get help if my TI-84 Plus is still not working after a reset? If problems persist, contact Texas Instruments customer support or consult your calculator's user manual for more specific troubleshooting steps. There might be a hardware issue requiring professional repair.
