Hi Jackie.
I've just bought the pure move, £79.99 plus 2 pounds postage from KK
electronics, an EBay store. If you have five minutes, could you send me a
short explanatory guide on the buttons and basic operations? I hope I'm not
being impertinent in asking, but the user manual I have here on my machine
contains mostly pictures interspersed with text, so it doesn't make clear
exactly where all the controls are or what they do.
All the best, Ibrahim.
