A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of QSC UF-3, 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 QSC UF-3 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 QSC UF-3. 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 QSC UF-3 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of QSC UF-3
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the QSC UF-3 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the QSC UF-3 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 QSC UF-3 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 QSC UF-3, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the QSC 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 QSC UF-3.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the QSC UF-3 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.

    2 III. PROGRAMMING THE UF-3 The UF-3 circuit board has six 3-pin headers and four SIP resistor network sockets (see Figure 2). All are used for programming the module. The circuitry for the two channels is identical, so the headers and sockets are divided between them: those designated by a three-digit number starting in a “ 1 ” (headers J101, [...]

    3 Programming the High-Pass Filter and CD Horn Equalization To use either the high-pass filter or the constant-directivity horn equalization, or both, set the jumper on Jx02 across pins 2 and 3, which are the lower two pins on their header. If, however, you do not wish to use either one and want to bypass them instead, set the jumper across pins 1 [...]

    4 IV . TYPICAL APPLICA TIONS Subsonic Filter Subsonic filters are commonly used in sound installations to filter out rumbles and other inaudible or unwanted low frequency signals and to protect speaker drivers. Vented speaker enclosures in particular often exhibit a phenomenon in which the acoustical damping on the driver(s) drops at extremely low [...]
