Un bon manuel d’utilisation

Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation Alienware Area-51 m5700.

Le mot vient du latin "Instructio", à savoir organiser. Ainsi, le manuel d’utilisation Alienware Area-51 m5700 décrit les étapes de la procédure.

- instructions d'utilisation, de réglage et d’entretien de l'équipement Alienware Area-51 m5700
- signes de sécurité et attestations confirmant la conformité avec les normes pertinentes

Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service Alienware en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées.
