Wendy - not of an accessible nature! I guess it's pretty strait forward, and
of course this list helps -

| Are there no instructions included with the unit? From what you are all

| Thanks Jackie, that works; it also works in reverse, if you hold down the
| top button and it announces a colour, you can press the bottom button and
it

|| Hi Andy
||
|| Hold the Colorino in your hand face upwards so that the hole at the end
of
|| the unit, which is the spyhole for colour detection, is furthest away
from
|| you. Now, hold down the bottom button of the two on the front of the
unit
|| and press the top button while you do it. The volume will cycle through
|| three levels while you do that, and the detector will make a buzzing
| sound.
||
|| I haven't needed to recalibrate it, but you must be able to do so, and
I'm
|| sure someone will know.
||
|| Glad you like it. I think it's a fine little gadget.
||
|| Jackie
