Hi, folks. Yesterday I received my book port and began reading the manual
on the cassette. I also played with the keypad and accidentally recorded
myself while listening to the manual. I then was trying to figure out how
to delete my unwanted recordings when suddenly the unit locked up and began
making a chugging sound such as one of those up and down agitators on a
washing machine. Panicked, I tried resetting the unit--no luck. I knew i
had to remove the batteries and tried to do so. The only way I could remove
the batteries was to use a butter knife because I had installed the
batteries without the ribbon underneath the batteries. The unit fidid reset
itself after the batteries were removed and re-installed. My suggestion
would be to clearly explain that the batteries should be installed with the
ribbon underneath the batteries. Yes, I realize that common sense should
prevail here but the manual should mention the ribbon. I prefer battery
compartments with a spring to push against the negative side of the battery.
I also noticed that the appendices are not included in the cassette manual.
I of course think they should be included. Why have only the manual and not
the supplemental material?
APH has a great product in the book port and I will get used to things over
time. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Michael Massey
