Important Notice for Owners of the TI-30X IIS, TI-30X IIB, TI-34 II, and TI-40 College II


This replacement offer is good through January 31, 2001.


We listen to our customers, especially when you tell us things you don't
like.

We've been pleased to hear that you like our new, two-line calculators,
and we're proud of the benefits they provide. But we were extremely
surprised and concerned when we heard that when specific,
multi-decimal-place values are used in combination with specific
functions in our TI-30X IIS, TI-30X IIB, TI-34 II, and our TI-40 College
II, an incorrect answer is returned.

We halted production of these products and fixed the software. As we
did so, our engineers concluded that the chance of this situation
occurring in an individual's average use is remote, given the specific
functions and combinations needed. (These are detailed below.)
However, these errors are not consistent with our efforts to provide you
with the best possible educational products for your needs.

New, revised product is now shipping to stores. If, however, you have
affected product*, and you're concerned about its performance, please
contact us at the phone numbers or email address listed below and we
will replace your product.


* In order to confirm that the above issue impacts your calculator,
please check the date code, which is stamped into the plastic, or on a
small, plastic label, on the back of your calculator. Date codes begin
with either an "N" or a "C", and then four numbers follow. Only 
calculators with date codes earlier than 1299 are affected,
for example N0699 or C0899.
