1. About this guide.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new PLEXTALK Portable Recorder
PTR2. This guide contains all the information you will need to get started
with your new PLEXTALK. It has been written in a way which will allow
you to learn progressively, starting with the basic concepts and building
up to the more technical operations that you can try as you gain in
confidence.
The guide is provided in print, on DAISY CD and as electronic files in both
text and Microsoft Word formats. All these versions of the guide should
be in the box along with your PLEXTALK. The DAISY version and the
electronic files are located on the User's Guide CD, with the electronic files
being located in a folder called "Manual".
Once you get to know the structure of the guide, you should find it easy to
locate the particular information you are looking for at any time. If you are
a beginner to the DAISY format and to digital recording, it is
recommended that you read through the guide sequentially, learning as
you go. If you are an advanced user, or have had experience of using the
PLEXTALK PTR1, you may wish to bypass some of the preliminary
information. Chapter 5 details the features of the PTR2 and compares it to
the PTR1. You may find it useful to review this information before
continuing.
For those who wish to get started quickly, you may wish to read Chapter 8
"Quick start instructions". This gives you an introduction to PLEXTALK
features required for using PLEXTALK as a player and recorder. If you
prefer to learn about the features in more detail, you can bypass this
section and work your way more carefully through the main chapters of
the guide.
NOTE: The Quick Start chapter does not cover features in depth so please
be aware that many of the details have been omitted.
NOTE: Whether you wish to get started quickly or more methodically, you
should ensure that you read Chapter 2, Chapter 4 and Chapter 7 before
progressing. These chapters detail the legal and copyright restrictions,
the safety information and issues relating to looking after your PLEXTALK
properly.
