Buen manual de instrucciones
Las leyes obligan al vendedor a entregarle al comprador, junto con el producto, el manual de instrucciones Invacare Topan. 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 Invacare Topan o vídeos de instrucciones para usuarios. La condición es que tenga una forma legible y entendible.

- marcas de seguridad y certificados que confirmen su concordancia con determinadas normativas
¿Por qué no leemos los manuales de instrucciones?
Normalmente es por la falta de tiempo y seguridad acerca de las funcionalidades determinadas de los dispositivos comprados. Desafortunadamente la conexión y el encendido de Invacare Topan no es suficiente.
