Hi Joe, I totally forgot that the description of where the AC adaptor needs to be plugged in and all that is in the help file. As I was getting frustrated, because my battery power was getting low, and I had no clue where to plug in the adaptor, I thought I'd skroll through the menu list and I saw help. So when I first glanced in that area I saw the same information that was in the braille manual sent to me. Then, I saw an introduction section that isn't written in the braille manual. I think it should be included in that, because if someone hadn't shown me where to turn on and off the BSP I would have been very frustrated. On the BS original there's a toggle switch on the right pannel to turn the unit on and off. That isn't the case with the BSP. Even though, there are a lot of similarities to these two units, there's enough to throw one off who haven't used the unit before. So I think GW Micro should include in the braille manual the physical description of all its hardware that they sell. Just my opinion. (smile)
