No, as long as you have a current receiver (White - RFFF 03 or 04) you will be fine. If you have an older receiver (Gray - RFFF 02) you will need to have this replaced.  Once you plug in your receiver using TurningPoint Cloud you will receive a pop-up that says Caution. The specific message will give you instructions on how to update your receiver.

Receiver TP5 requires an update for TurningPoint Cloud. Once the upgrade is complete, your receiver will only operate with TurningPoint Cloud. Once updated, the receiver will no longer work with previous versions of TurningPoint.

In many cases your TP5 slides will work fine with TurningPoint Cloud. In some cases, you may have an older version of Microsoft Office or brought your slides in from an older version of TurningPoint, such as TurningPoint 2008. You will see the graph/chart shown incorrectly. Here are two solutions for you:

1. Resave your PowerPoint presentation with the current version of Microsoft Office that you have.
2. Delete your graph/chart on your PowerPoint Slide and reinsert a new graph/chart on your slide.

The offline password allows you to use TurningPoint Cloud in your classroom when the internet is not available. This will allow for polling your students with clickers and save your session. Any internet based processes, such as downloading a participant list or exporting grades will not be available until you reestablish an internet connection.

No, your clicker is always on and able to accept answers. If the screen is blank, the clicker is in sleep mode. There is no need to press anything to wake it up – simply enter your answer.

Press the ‘Channel’ button on the bottom left, type in the channel number, and press the ‘Channel’ button again.

In your class participant list, you can draw the session to “AUTO.” Then, draw the session back to the class participant list.

The PowerPoint is still running in the background.  You can use the following steps to end PowerPoint program.

If the original PowerPoint file was created in MS 97-2003, this file will be running in the compatibility mode when it is opened in TP Cloud software. See the screen shot below. Since the polling chart is not compatible, your polling questions can not be opened.
