Hi Brian: First of all, seemingly the list reply function distroys the subject-line. If the manual were too large for this list, I could give you a direct link on my web-site, once I upload it. Let's see later, maybe somd1 else will have a faster solution. Here I clipped a short rundown of the buttons
5.4.1. Front face.The grill that you used to orientate the unit is where the internal speaker and the built in microphone are located. The speaker is on the right and the microphone is in the centre.
Just below the grill, in the centre, there are 2 LEDs.The one on the left is the Power LED. It should be off when the unit is turned off. It becomes flashing orange while booting up or when in recording standby mode and turns solid orange during recording. It shows green when the unit is on. The one on the right is the Battery LED and indicates the charging status. It is off when PLEXTALK is operating on battery power. During charging Phase 1, it will show an orange light. During charging Phase 2 it will alternate between orange and green and When the battery is fully charged, it turns solid green. If it shows a blinking orange light, this indicates a charging error.
Below the grill, to the left and right of the LEDs, there are two oval buttons. The key on the left is coloured red and is the Record key, used for DAISY recording, Voice memo recording and for recording Voice Bookmarks. The key on the right is coloured green and is the Power key, used for power on/off and for setting the sleep timer. In the centre of this key there are two prominent tactile dots.
Below the Record key and the Power key, there are 4 function keys - two on the left and 2 on the right of the unit. The upper left key is the GoTo key, used for page and heading navigation and for insertion of headings during recording.The lower left key is the Bookmark key, used for bookmark navigation, insertion and deletion. Also used for turning the recording monitor on and off during recording. The upper right key is the Menu key, used to access the main menu. Press and hold this key to turn on or off the Key Describer
mode.The lower right key is the Title key, used for changing the title or media. Also used to turn on and off the level monitor during recording.
In between the 4 function keys, at the centre of the unit, is the circular Play/Stop key surrounded by four arrow keys - Up, Down, Left and Right. The Play/Stop key is slightly indented and is coloured blue. It is used to start/stop playback and acts as the Enter key for some operations. The Up key is used for moving up in the list of navigation options. It is also used for increasing the speed and tone settings
or to cancel an operation.The Down key is used for moving down in the list of navigation options. It is also used for decreasing the speed and tone settings or to act as the Enter key for some operations.
The Left key is used for moving left in menus or to move back in a title. Press and hold the key for fast rewind. The Right key is used for moving right in menus or to move forward in a title. Press and hold the key for fast forward.Below the function and arrow keys are a further 12 small circular keys, arranged in 4 rows of 3 keys. These are generally called the Number Pad. The Number Pad is laid out exactly like a push button telephone keypad. The first row has numbers 1, 2 and 3. The second row has numbers 4, 5 and 6. The third row has numbers 7, 8 and 9 and the fourth row has the Star key, Number 0 key and the Pound/Hash key.
Note: The number 5 key has a small raised dot on it to help you locate it. Some of the keys have secondary functions and these are listed below: * Number 1 = Change speed or tone in combination with the Up or Down key* Number 5 = Information key. Press once for a list of information. Press repeatedly to step quickly through the list of information. Press and hold to get the current date and time
* Number 9 = Backup * Number 0 = Help. Press once to enter or exit the built in help file. * Star = Undo/Cancel number input * Pound/Hash = Redo/Enter for number inputNote: Throughout this guide, the term "Enter key" refers to the Play/Stop key, located in the centre of the four arrow keys. The term "Cancel key" refers to the Up key, located above the Play/Stop key. Note: The Pound/Hash key, marked with the "#" symbol, which is located at the bottom right of the Number Pad, will only be used as the Enter key for number input. The Star key, marked with the "*" symbol, which is located at the bottom left of the Number Pad, will only be used as the cancel key for number input.
5.4.2. Top edge.On the top edge of the PLEXTALK, there are 2 sockets - one towards the left side and one in the centre. The socket on the left is for an external microphone and line in and the centre socket is for headphones. All sockets take 3.5mm diameter stereo mini
jack plugs. In the top left corner, there is a small hole which is designed for fitting a carrying strap if required. 5.4.3. Left edge. On the left edge of the unit, roughly level with the Record key, there is a slot for the SD card. 5.4.4. Right edge.On the right edge of the unit, there are 2 switches. The upper switch is for increasing and decreasing the volume. Pushing the switch towards the top of the unit, increases the volume. Pulling the switch towards the bottom of the unit, decreases the volume.
The lower switch is the Key Lock key. This is to prevent accidental activation of any other key, including the Power key. Pushing the switch toward the top of the unit locks all keys. Pulling the switch toward the bottom of the unit releases the lock. If the unit is on at the time, the unit will say "Key lock on" or "Key lock off". If the unit is off at the time, no speech will be heard when this switch is moved in either direction. However, if the unit is locked when you try to turn it on, PLEXTALK will briefly announce "Key lock" and remain powered off.
Note: When you want to power on, make sure that the Key Lock is off. 5.4.5. Bottom edge.There are 2 items on the bottom edge of the unit. On the left is a small round hole in a square-shaped housing. This is the DC input terminal. On the right is a slightly smaller rectangular slot. This is the USB socket.
