The keys on the TI-84 Plus are color-coded to help you easily locate the key you need.

The light colored keys are the number keys. The light gray keys along the right side of the

keyboard are the common math functions. The light gray keys across the top set up and

display graphs. The Œ key with the purple lettering provides access to applications such

as the Inequality Graphing application.

The primary function of each key is printed on the keys. For example, when you press

, the MATH menu is displayed.
