Great manual...really saved me. The only problem is that I thought I would be able to download it directly when I paid for it but never received the download instructions until the next morning. The board trace pages were somewhat light also: really need to turn up the contrast on the printer before printing them. The schematic page was great; very clear! Well worth the money.
I've been in the electronic business for a long time. I used to buy Sam's Photofact for my needs which intailed having to go to the store and paying about $20 for a package of 3 different units so I was forced to buy more than I needed just to get one.
Owner manual is just at your keyboard and the information is almost instantansouly and the cost is very reasonable. Easy to print out if needed or simply read off of the screen. The larger the screen the better for obvious reasons.
Only thу cover has poor quality, internal material has excellent quality - exactly what I needed
Thanks!

REPLACING BATTERIES
The A-10/A-11 has a dual power supply that consists of main batteries and a back-up battery. Be sure to load the main batteries before using the A-10/A-11 for the first time after purchasing it. Also, replace batteries as soon as possible after they start to lose power. Important! � Never remove both the main batteries and the back-up battery from the A-10/A-11 at the same time. If you do, data stored in memory can be corrupted or lost entirely. � Use two AA-size alkaline batteries or the optional rechargeable battery pack for the main power supply and a CR2032 lithium battery for the back-up power supply. Never use any other types of batteries with the A-10/A-11. � Be sure to keep track of the battery life of both the main batteries and the back-up battery. If the batteries being used for both power supplies are low at the same time, data stored in memory can be corrupted or lost entirely.
Replacing the Main Batteries
1. Make sure the A-10/A-11 is turned off. If the A-10/A-11 is on, press the power switch to turn it off. 2. Close the A-10/A-11 and turn it over. 3. Slide and hold the battery holder release towards �REPLACE BATTERIES� and then carefully slide the main battery compartment from the A-10/A-11.
Note that the main battery holder release actually consists of two separate buttons. Slide and hold both of them towards �REPLACE BATTERIES�.
Grasp the center of the main battery holder when you slide it from the A-10/A-11.
