Well Wendy I agree with you, but once I put the batteries in, I fiddled about until I got out of it what I needed to know. I'm a bit of a naughty girl where manuals and instructions are concerned. I don't have a lot of patience for them.
There may be CD or taped instructions, but I certainly never got any, other than the sheet that was folded up inside the case that comes with the Colorino. They do scan ok, but I do agree with you that for such a product, they should be accessible,.

You would think that, as it is a piece of equipment made particularly for those who can't see colours, they would provide instructions on tape or CD, and also that they would be comprehensive.

I raked out the instructions for mine. They seem to tell you how to cycle through the volume, how to work the light probe, and about the battery compartment, but they don't appear to tell you how to recalibrate it. They amount to a sheet of A4. The unit turns itself off after so many seconds. Jackie----- Original Message ----- From: "Wendy Sharpe" <w.sharpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

From what you are all saying it sounds as if you have to find out how to work it by trial and error.
