Unpacking some equipment, and I have a few questions about The MNGP2.
There were no instructions or data sheet. I could find none on line.

There appears to be a hunk of plastic that is scotch taped to the front panel. Does is come out of there? And if so, how?? Is it for shipping to protect the LCD?

What's the little protrusion for to the right of the speaker? It was wobbly loose (most likely from shipping) and I finger tighten it. It doesn't seem to move and it doesn't seem to be a push button.

What is it?IMG_0420.jpg

Geee...   I'm not sure WHAT that tape is for ?

I haven't seen that even with the MNGP2s I am using.  I'm sure that someone in the know will post something about that.

There is an insulator inside the battery cover on the back though I know.

Yeah, there will probably be a manual for the MIG2  (MNGP2) eventually.

I think that the menu system may change a little ?

To the right of the speaker , the little "knob" is the bluetooth antenna .

I'd sure like to know, and know if I need to remove it and how.
