I am pretty sure I have a copy in my files somewhere. Give me a few days to find it. PM me your mailing address.

OR, if you are not in a huge rush I'd like to send it to Brad first to add to the warehouse on here.

Kinoton strongly resisted having any manuals online, has that policy changed?

Well they are not responding to my emails and their website is useless!

There are likely no Kinoton made pdfs of the FP38/FP38D systems. I'm sure Kinoton Digital Solutions holds the copyrights now. I don't know what their policy is on distribution of their manuals. Kinoton was very strict about it though.

Kinoton came through. Got a PDF.

Wow, this brings back memories from about 15 years ago. I remember reading that Kinoton was strict about posting manuals online, but never learned why. Can someone tell us why?
