I cannot speak for sure to the APH CD, but I believe the tutorials spoken of in the manual refer to a Geting Started tutorial. And I think, this is a recent addition to the APH CD (I know that LevelStar has contained one for a while). As for separate documentation/tutorials, etc, I just meant to point out that APH has done their own web casts concerning the Braille +, and LevelStar has done their own tutorials and podcasts. However, most users access both and are certainly welcome to do so. Also, the manual on the LevelStar site is not the Help file, but is a manual specifically written for Icon. However, we're running the same software, and all resources can be used either by a Braille + or Icon user to enhance their learning experience as each is done in a different style, both are useful and valuable. The websites you have are the only ones available and are the correct URLS.

The manual says that you are supposed to get a tutorial CD, but I only got one CD, and it didn't have any tutorials on it. Where are APHs tutorials located? Do APH and Levelstar each have more than one website? I only thought Levelstar had: http://www.levelstar.com and APH had: http://www.aph.org Thanks, Chase Crispin Blind Mobile Tech (BMT) blog: http://blindmobiletech.blogspot.com e-mail: chase.crispin@xxxxxxxxx APH Training Videos on Youtube are also linked to at: http://tech.aph.org/mm -----Original Message----- From: icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jenny Axler Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 1:58 PM To: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: New user with questions Paul, There are slight differences in the content of the CD's due to the fact that APH and LevelStar are responsible for these separately. However both will for sure contain a user manual, the Icon Sync program, and drivers for setting up your unit to use your computer's internet connection with USB. As far as I know, neither CD contains the tutorials you downloaded from the LevelStar website. Both APH and LevelStar maintain separate sets of tutorials and documentation on their various websites. as for reading the manual, there is a Help file on the unit, and your CD will contain the same file. Hope that helps you, Jenny Axler ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Henrichsen To: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 11:38 AM Subject: [icon-discuss] New user with questions Hi, everyone. I will be getting my icon braille plus, hopefully, tomorrow. What is the difference between the cd that comes with the icon and the one that comes with the braille plus? Are the tutorials on the braille plus cd different than the ones I downloaded from the level star site? Also, I was hoping I could find a manual that I could read off line, but all I could find was one online. Is there one on the cd? Lastly, are the training sessions archived anywhere? They usually happen in the day time when I can't attend. I'm sure I'll have lots more questions once I get going. Thanks.
