Richtige Gebrauchsanleitung

Die Vorschriften verpflichten den Verkäufer zur Übertragung der Gebrauchsanleitung Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM an den Erwerber, zusammen mit der Ware. Eine fehlende Anleitung oder falsche Informationen, die dem Verbraucher übertragen werden, bilden eine Grundlage für eine Reklamation aufgrund Unstimmigkeit des Geräts mit dem Vertrag. Rechtsmäßig lässt man das Anfügen einer Gebrauchsanleitung in anderer Form als Papierform zu, was letztens sehr oft genutzt wird, indem man eine grafische oder elektronische Anleitung von Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM, sowie Anleitungsvideos für Nutzer beifügt. Die Bedingung ist, dass ihre Form leserlich und verständlich ist.

Was ist eine Gebrauchsanleitung?

Das Wort kommt vom lateinischen „instructio”, d.h. ordnen. Demnach kann man in der Anleitung Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM die Beschreibung der Etappen der Vorgehensweisen finden. Das Ziel der Anleitung ist die Belehrung, Vereinfachung des Starts, der Nutzung des Geräts oder auch der Ausführung bestimmter Tätigkeiten. Die Anleitung ist eine Sammlung von Informationen über ein Gegenstand/eine Dienstleistung, ein Hinweis.

Leider widmen nicht viele Nutzer ihre Zeit der Gebrauchsanleitung Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM. Eine gute Gebrauchsanleitung erlaubt nicht nur eine Reihe zusätzlicher Funktionen des gekauften Geräts kennenzulernen, sondern hilft dabei viele Fehler zu vermeiden.

Was sollte also eine ideale Gebrauchsanleitung beinhalten?

Die Gebrauchsanleitung Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM sollte vor allem folgendes enthalten:
- Informationen über technische Daten des Geräts Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM
- Den Namen des Produzenten und das Produktionsjahr des Geräts Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM
- Grundsätze der Bedienung, Regulierung und Wartung des Geräts Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM
- Sicherheitszeichen und Zertifikate, die die Übereinstimmung mit entsprechenden Normen bestätigen

Warum lesen wir keine Gebrauchsanleitungen?

Der Grund dafür ist die fehlende Zeit und die Sicherheit, was die bestimmten Funktionen der gekauften Geräte angeht. Leider ist das Anschließen und Starten von Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM zu wenig. Eine Anleitung beinhaltet eine Reihe von Hinweisen bezüglich bestimmter Funktionen, Sicherheitsgrundsätze, Wartungsarten (sogar das, welche Mittel man benutzen sollte), eventueller Fehler von Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM und Lösungsarten für Probleme, die während der Nutzung auftreten könnten. Immerhin kann man in der Gebrauchsanleitung die Kontaktnummer zum Service Telex finden, wenn die vorgeschlagenen Lösungen nicht wirksam sind. Aktuell erfreuen sich Anleitungen in Form von interessanten Animationen oder Videoanleitungen an Popularität, die den Nutzer besser ansprechen als eine Broschüre. Diese Art von Anleitung gibt garantiert, dass der Nutzer sich das ganze Video anschaut, ohne die spezifizierten und komplizierten technischen Beschreibungen von Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM zu überspringen, wie es bei der Papierform passiert.

Warum sollte man Gebrauchsanleitungen lesen?

In der Gebrauchsanleitung finden wir vor allem die Antwort über den Bau sowie die Möglichkeiten des Geräts Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM, über die Nutzung bestimmter Accessoires und eine Reihe von Informationen, die erlauben, jegliche Funktionen und Bequemlichkeiten zu nutzen.

Nach dem gelungenen Kauf des Geräts, sollte man einige Zeit für das Kennenlernen jedes Teils der Anleitung von Telex ELECTRO-VOICE X-Line TM widmen. Aktuell sind sie genau vorbereitet oder übersetzt, damit sie nicht nur verständlich für die Nutzer sind, aber auch ihre grundliegende Hilfs-Informations-Funktion erfüllen.

    ELECTRO-VOICE ® 2.4 Rigging an Array with Boxes Using X-Line Dollies Three dollies are available for transporting the X-Line loudspeaker systems. The actual array rigging technique will vary depending on which dollies are used to transport the systems. The Bottom Stacking Dolly can be used with the rectangular loudspeaker enclosures (Xvls, Xsub). [...]

    ELECTRO-VOICE ® Figure 10: Flying with Front Dollies The two boxes must be held parallel during the installation of the rigging hinge. If there is a slight vertical misalignment that causes the hinge to bind during installation, either the suspended box or the box on the dolly may be manually lifted to facilitate the hinge installation. Once both [...]

    ELECTRO-VOICE ® Once again, the array is lifted until the box on the Front Dolly is no longer contacting the ground and the dolly is removed from the box. At this point, the next to last box is manually lifted and the front Xvsl linking straps are attached between the box next to the bottom and the box above it. This process is repeated as necessa[...]

Rigging-Strength Ratings, Safety Factors, and Special Safety Considerations 3.1 Working-Load Limit and Safety Factor Definitions: The structural ratings for all of the X-Line rigging components and complete loudspeaker systems are based on test results in which parts were stressed to failure. Manufacturers typically present the [...]

  • Seite 28

    ELECTRO-VOICE ® The array designer must be aware of the working-load limit ratings and the loads being applied to the individual rigging points and the overall enclosure. An X-Line loudspeaker system is only as strong as its weakest link. It is usually the case that one of the working-load limits will be approached sooner than the other. WHEN SUSP[...]

    ELECTRO-VOICE ® Figure 11: Simplified Rating Guidelines Figure 11 includes a graph of the working-load weight-versus-angle limit rating for the X-Line enclosures. This working-load weight limit is applicable to every enclosure in an array, and includes the weight of that enclosure plus the total weight of all enclosures and rigging hardware suspen[...]

  • Seite 30

    ELECTRO-VOICE ® In addition, the guidelines in Figure 11 include a side-to-side angle limit for the Xvhg grid hinges and the Xvhp pickup hinges. Side-to-side angle limits are not necessary for the Xvhl linking hinges because side-to-side angles are impossible to achieve if the top rigging is within its limits. Front- to-back limits are not necessa[...]

    ELECTRO-VOICE ® 3.4 Complex Structural-Rating Analysis For a complete structural-rating analysis, the forces in each individual piece of rigging hardware throughout the X-Line system must be determined, as well as the forces on each enclosure. Determining these forces requires complex mathematical calculations. All of these forces must then be com[...]
