Las leyes obligan al vendedor a entregarle al comprador, junto con el producto, el manual de instrucciones AMX Vision² Master 36TB. La falta del manual o facilitar información incorrecta al consumidor constituyen una base de reclamación por no estar de acuerdo el producto con el contrato. Según la ley, está permitido adjuntar un manual de otra forma que no sea en papel, lo cual últimamente es bastante común y los fabricantes nos facilitan un manual gráfico, su versión electrónica AMX Vision² Master 36TB o vídeos de instrucciones para usuarios. La condición es que tenga una forma legible y entendible.
¿Qué es un manual de instrucciones?
El nombre proviene de la palabra latina “instructio”, es decir, ordenar. Por lo tanto, en un manual AMX Vision² Master 36TB se puede encontrar la descripción de las etapas de actuación.

Al final, en un manual se pueden encontrar los detalles de servicio técnico AMX en caso de que las soluciones propuestas no hayan funcionado.
