Hi Bruce and list:

I agree fully. That's what we do. Yes, it does require a bit of work, but the reward is we end up with the label that suits us. It tells us what we need to know and we put it where it seems most reasonable to us and the way we use the device.

I appreciate that a company (not APH) does label one's serial number in Braille on product packaging. But then it becomes so mashed by postal handling that it is almost unreadable when it arrives, requiring me to redo the label for the sake of clarity. This is a problem the company can't help. But the point I'm trying to make here is if I make the label myself after the product arrives, it is more likely to more useful because it hasn't had to survive the ministrations of postal or courier handling, none of which are particularly known for being concerned for anything but speed in what they do.

Cheers,
Dave

I think the onus should be on us, the consumer, to label chargers, not
APH. If APH is required to do so, then in the interests of equality
they'll have to label in large print, braille, and moon, English,
Spanish, French for all of the above ... when one piece of label tape on
the part of those consumers who want their chargers labeled, in the
language, medium, color and creed of their choice would lead to much
less difficulty.
