>> Hello, List!
>>
>> My Reader arrived yesterday and I immediately phoned my dealer to let him
>> know it had arrived.  He was unavailable, so I left a message and have 
>> not
>> yet received a return call.
>>
>> .  I have been unable to get any reaction whatever from my Reader, no
>> matter
>> what key I press.  .  As
>> the dealer appears to be away, I am on my own for the present.
>>
>> I am wondering whether the problem might be that my flashcard has not 
>> been
>> installed.  There is a card in the box, but I can't figure out just where
>> to
>> insert it.  I have listened thoroughly to the tutorial and checked the
>> text
>> documents, but can't identify the openings and jacks.  I certainly don't
>> want to do anything to damage the unit.  Also, I am not using the unit as
>> a
>> phone for the present time so I'm wondering whether I should connect it 
>> to
>> the computer and check to see whether the software has been installed. 
>> Of
>> course I plan to activate it, but I thought that non-activation allowed
>> the
>> unit to function, albeit in a limited manner.  Or, could my battery be
>> just
>> plain dead?
>>
>> I am also concerned I might have ever-so-slightly dislodged one of the
>> polarizer in an attempt to find the battery pack.  The little piece of
>> plastic was not totally removed but I did notice the sticky back.  Having
>> said that, I have done my level best to make sure I aligned the loose,
>> sticky portion  as carefully as possible.  The alignment seems fine to 
>> me,
>> but with all
>> this discussion of the polarizers I figure I'll try to read, then if I
>> have
>> a problem <or even if I don't> I'll print out the polarizer instruction
>> guide and have a sighted friend check my handiwork as soon as possible.
>> As
>> contact with sightlings in our immediate household on a regular basis is
>> rather infrequent, I'm hoping I get good reads before I have to have it
>> checked.  Of course we can call someone; but we have no idea what 
>> friends'
>> schedules are, and our neighbors, either elderly or just not computer
>> savvy,
>> might
>> make a big mess with this one.  <smile>
>>
>> I would appreciate any information listers may have to help me on my way.
>> Meanwhile, I'll keep working with the keys and looking for something I
>> might
>> have missed in the documentation.
>>
>> Many thanks in advance.
