Hi:
The manual is at:
http://www.aph.org/tech/bp_info.mp3
or if that doesn't work:
http://www.aph.org/tech/bp_info.htm
Also, I agree about asking questions.  I listened to the manual many many
times, and have asked many many questions on this list, and now, I am going
to start training people on the BP.  So, I know that there are many people
on this list that would be willing to help you!

Hi

Well, first things first:

Read the manual, or try to. Follow along as best you can. I find book ports
manual very intuitive, and you can also find an audio version of it at
http://www.aph.org

Sorry I don't have the complete address; but there you have it. Don't fear
to ask questions, that's how you learn. And don't fear that the book port
will blow up, haha. Its a very stable unit and it could be dropped from a 10
story building and survive. (Keep in mind I'm being sarcastic, but its very
hard to break this unit because there are no moving parts. So if it does
break, it will be the flash card and you can buy another one!)


Have a good day from Tyler C. Wood!
