Thank you for choosing the TR580p Tricorder VII for your scanning and
data collection needs. Your Tricorder will provide years of
trouble-free use if you observe the following care and maintenance
guidelines:

  * Do not expose your Tricorder to rain, moisture, dust, or subspace
ruptures.

  * If it becomes necessary to clean the exterior of your Tricorder,
use a soft, lint-free cloth. Excessive baryon particle build-up due to
warp travel may be removed using a Remmler array. (Use caution, as a
baryon sweep destroys living tissue.)

  * Do not point the scanning end directly into the eyes. Do not run
in the house while holding your Tricorder. After heavy use, wait at
least 30 minutes before swimming.


Using Your Tricorder:

Most TR580p functions will be familiar to users of the standalone
TR580 unit. The few differences are noted below:

  * The TR580p features two scan triggers, located below the display.
The type of scan initiated will depend on the trigger activated (upper
or lower), the status of the device input setting, and the sensor mode
(internal or external).

 * Due to the compact size of the TR580p versus the TR580, the power
meter has been moved from the upper-left of the case, to the
lower-right of the screen.


Know problems:

   * Use of the biological scan to assess gender may yield inaccurate
results among J'naii, Talosians, some Trills, and in certain sections
of West Hollywood.

  * Currently, the TR580p completely interfaces only with computers
utilizing duotronic enhancers. A "bare-bones" connectivity solution
for isolinear systems (the "Quark Pak") is available separately with a
suggested retail price of two strips of gold-pressed latinum. The fact
that the TR580p itself was developed with an isolinear computer is an
irony not lost on the designers.

 * Use of the microwave emitter on frozen burritos may result in
uneven heating.

Feeling Generous?

Tricorder II is freeware (see below). However, some have written to me
saying they'd pay if it were shareware. If you feel the same way, I
suggest a competent therapist. But if you don't have *that* much
money, I suggest a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hosptial.
Find out all about the great work they do at <http://www.stjude.org>

You can call them at 1-800-873-6983. They even have a web-based form
at <https://www.stjude.org/secure/form-donate-mem.htm> where, if you'd
like, you can make a donation in honor of "Tricorder" (I can see the
raised eyebrows in their financial department now). The same form lets
you send one or two cards announcing the donation (but not the
amount). To send one of them to me, use this address: Jeff Jetton, 442
Tanglewood Ct., Nashville, TN 37211.
