A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Furuno FCV-582L, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Furuno FCV-582L one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Furuno FCV-582L. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Furuno FCV-582L should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Furuno FCV-582L
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Furuno FCV-582L item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Furuno FCV-582L item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Furuno FCV-582L alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Furuno FCV-582L, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Furuno service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Furuno FCV-582L.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Furuno FCV-582L item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    vi The FCV -582L determines the distance be- tween its transducer and underwater objects such as fish, lake bottom or seabed and dis- plays the results on its screen. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave trans- mitted through water travels at a nearly con- stant speed of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per second. When a sound wave st[...]

    18 2.5 TVG Level TVG (T ime V aried Gain) compensates for propagation attenuation of the ultrasonic waves. It does this by equalizing echo pre- sentation so that fish schools of the same size appear in the same density in both shallow and deep waters. In addition, it reduces sur - face noise. Note that if the TVG level is set too high short range e[...]
