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 LevelOne Gigabit Chassis switch 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 LevelOne Gigabit Chassis switch. 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?

- informations concerning technical data of LevelOne Gigabit Chassis switch
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the LevelOne Gigabit Chassis switch item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the LevelOne Gigabit Chassis switch 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 LevelOne Gigabit Chassis switch 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 LevelOne Gigabit Chassis switch, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the LevelOne 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 LevelOne Gigabit Chassis switch.

Why one should read the manuals?
