3 First Time Usage
Please understand that this device has a CPU, hard drive, and
Operating System (OS) and thus it is more like a computer
than a CD player, cassette player, or radio. If you are not
familiar with using a computer, it would be particularly useful
to read the complete detailed User Manual on the included
CD-ROM.
