A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Sony 4-169-142-13(1), along with an item.

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?
