Las leyes obligan al vendedor a entregarle al comprador, junto con el producto, el manual de instrucciones IOGear GCS1204.

Según la ley, está permitido adjuntar un manual de otra forma que no sea en papel, lo cual últimamente es bastante común y los fabricantes nos facilitan un manual gráfico, su versión electrónica IOGear GCS1204 o vídeos de instrucciones para usuarios. La condición es que tenga una forma legible y entendible.
