There's one on Ebay right now...you might check with the seller and see if he has a manual with his item for sale. If so...ask him if he would send you a digital copy to your email. Work a shot I think. If he doesn't have one then be sure to SAVE that search so when another comes up for bid - then you will know about it. Looks like there is a model S912 also. Might also look for info on that recorder as it looks similar.
