Hi Wendy, Although you probably won?t find a single download which gives you all the information in one place, you should be able to download all of what you want from the Plextalk website. Check out the following link for the page to do with the manual in the various versions offered (including a DAISY audio version: http://www.plextalk.eu/en/top/support/ptr2/usersguides/ If you are not in UK, you may want to trace the downloads on the US site though I suspect that this will only matter when talking about things like the firmware updates. Hope this helps.

I am wondering where I can get the CD containing the manual and other items, as the seller did not include this, and could not locate it when I asked for it. I have the manual in Word, but it would be so much easier to have the DAISY version on CD. Any help would be much appreciated.

The best manual of a ptr device I have seen was the one for the ptr2!

One other thing that I've noticed is that I tend to get a more reliable connection (i.e. one with fewer connection errors) if I make sure the Pocket is booted up before connecting the USB cable to the computer - no idea why this should make a difference but, if I connect the cables first and then switch on the Pocket, Windows quite often fails to recognise the Pocket properly. Finally, can I just point out I had nothing to do with writing the Pocket Transfer manual, honest!!

I will try that and see if it works. The thing used to work simply using windows explorer but for some obscure reason now it will work for a time and then simply hangs up.

Secondly, just to say that I almost always use Windows Explorer for transferring all sorts of material and have hardly ever had any problems. I only use the transfer software for podcast feeds.
