Subject: Talking Multimeter From NFB Independence Market

Hi everybody,

yesterday, I finally received the package containing two talking multimeters
(one for my neighbor and one for myself) that I had ordered from the NFB
Indepemdemce Market.  It caught my attention that NFB had not supplied the
manual in an accessible format.  Anxious to get started, I then scanned the
print manual, but the result wasn't as expected.

I found a description of a talking multimeter right here:
http://www.accessible-devices.com/TalkingMultiMeterManual.html
However, I am unsure, if the multimeter described in this article is the
same model that I have now.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Also, one unit is working, the other is not, although the batteries are OK.
The problem is that I actually don't quite remember how I got my unit to
speak, because it didn't work right after turning it on.  I simply pressed
the buttons randomly and was surprised I got it to work.  Do you have to
press two or more buttons in a specific order to make the unit speak?

73 and thanks for your help,

Christoph, DF9WM
