I can't imagine someone looking at the battery compartment, seeing the
ribbon, and not understanding its purpose.

Subject: [bookport] Problems with Book Port and some suggestions
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
