Orientation

Position the PENfriend2 so that the thin end (tip) is facing downwards and the buttons
are facing you.
The blunt top end is where the lanyard fits and contains the loudspeaker. (See
Lanyard attachment section for details).
On the front of PENfriend2 are 4 buttons. For ease of use the buttons are of different
heights with the power button protruding the most and the mode button the least.
Starting from the top, they are as follows: the larger round power on/off button; the
record button; the volume button, and finally there is the mode button.
With PENfriend2 still facing you on the left side there are two ports (holes). The top
circular port is for your headphones and the bottom rectangular port is for the USB
cable (not included). Please note that you will need a USB cable to access the Label
Manager. This can be purchased from the RNIB (Product code: HT263).
On the back of PENfriend2 is the battery compartment (see the Battery insertion and
replacement section for details.)
