Considering the price charged, surely an extra Pound would
cover the cost of instructions in Large Print, CD, or
Braille.

Well Wendy I agree with you, but once I put the batteries
in, I fiddled
about until I got out of it what I needed to know. I'm a
bit of a naughty
girl where manuals and instructions are concerned. I don't
have a lot of
patience for them.
There may be CD or taped instructions, but I certainly never
got any, other
than the sheet that was folded up inside the case that comes
with the
Colorino. They do scan ok, but I do agree with you that for
such a product,
they should be accessible,.

That's interesting. You would think that, as it is a piece
of equipment
made particularly for those who can't see colours, they
would provide
instructions on tape or CD, and also that they would be
comprehensive.

Funny you should say that Wendy. I raked out the
instructions for mine.
They seem to tell you how to cycle through the volume, how
to work the light
probe, and about the battery compartment, but they don't
appear to tell you
how to recalibrate it. They amount to a sheet of A4. The
unit turns itself
off after so many seconds.

Friends
Are there no instructions included with the unit? From what
you are all
saying it sounds as if you have to find out how to work it
by trial and
error.

Thanks Jackie, that works; it also works in reverse, if you
hold down the
top button and it announces a colour, you can press the
bottom button and it
will repeat the colour cycling through the volumes.

| Hi Andy
|
| Hold the Colorino in your hand face upwards so that the
hole at the end of
| the unit, which is the spyhole for colour detection, is
furthest away from
| you. Now, hold down the bottom button of the two on the
front of the unit
| and press the top button while you do it. The volume will
cycle through
| three levels while you do that, and the detector will make
a buzzing
sound.
|
| I haven't needed to recalibrate it, but you must be able
to do so, and I'm
| sure someone will know.
|
| Glad you like it. I think it's a fine little gadget.
