Speaking of blind friendly, the battery door on the Victor Stream is not
a piece of cake.  I almost used a coin to ruin the release but my trusty
secretary saved me.

    Howard:

I understand perfectly,  believe me.

So, what I did was had the XYL do a visual on it, and take it off so I
could see how it comes on and off.  This is one of these things where a
sighted person can probably help give you the clues you need.

It still amazes me that they decided to cover the jacks in this way.

Not very blind friendly, for sure.

If you want any more guidance on this, feel free to give me a phone
call.

And, I'll probably still be calling you one of these days with some more
TS480 questions.
