A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Transcend Information TS-PF705B, 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.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Transcend Information TS-PF705B one could find a process description.

- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Transcend Information TS-PF705B item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Transcend Information TS-PF705B, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Transcend Information service.
