A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Uniden LRD 2200SWS, 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?

    Introduction Welcome to the world of sophisticated, early warning laser/ra dar detection. You have purchased one of the most advanced laser/radar detectors available. The LRD 2200SWS is a complete i ntegrated laser/radar detector. It responds to the X-, K-, and Ka-SuperWideband radar guns in use today and also provides 360° detection of t he lates[...]

    Speed Detection Systems A speed detection device (often called a radar gun) sends out either a microwave signal or beam of light. When th is signal reaches its target, part of the signal is reflected or bounced back toward the emitting gun. The time required for the signal to leave the gun, bounce off an object, and return is used to determine a ve[...]

    Laser The Laser Speed Detection System, also called LIDAR (for Light Detection and Ranging), uses a laser gun that emits infrared light pulses just outside the spectrum of visible light. E ach reflected pulse measures the speed of the object coming toward or going away from the laser gun. Unlike radar, the laser gun emits a very narrow beam of ligh[...]
