Victor
Hi, and welcome to Victor Reader Classic +, your new digital talking book player.
Reader Classic + was designed to play highly structured books, such as reference works
and text books, as well as for leisure reading
. Compact, portable and sturdy, Victor Reader
Classic + goes anywhere with you, with rechargeable batteries and built-in carrying handle.
The first time you use Victor Reader, you should connect the unit to a power outlet even if it's
equipped with the optional rechargeable batteries. The batteries may have lost power during
shipping even though they were charged before leaving the factory. You will find out if your
Victor Reader is equipped with rechargeable batteries if it works when disconnected after 30
minutes of connection to a power outlet.
To connect to a power outlet, plug one end of the power cord provided in the jack located on the
far right side of the unit and the other end in an electrical outlet. Please note that you can use
Victor Reader while charging the batteries.
The box you just opened contains the following items: A Victor Reader Classic +, an AC/DC
adapter with power cord or a wall plug-in, a plastic bag containing documentation and the CD
you are currently listening to, containing a Getting Started session followed by the User's Guide.
This introductory session will give step-by-step instructions and the basic information needed in
order to use Victor Reader correctly. First you'll hear a physical description of the unit. Then we'll
