Un bon manuel d’utilisation

Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation Lowrance electronic 7300C HD. Le manque du manuel d’utilisation ou les informations incorrectes fournies au consommateur sont à la base d'une plainte pour non-conformité du dispositif avec le contrat. Conformément à la loi, l’inclusion du manuel d’utilisation sous une forme autre que le papier est autorisée, ce qui est souvent utilisé récemment, en incluant la forme graphique ou électronique du manuel Lowrance electronic 7300C HD ou les vidéos d'instruction pour les utilisateurs. La condition est son caractère lisible et compréhensible.

Qu'est ce que le manuel d’utilisation?

Le mot vient du latin "Instructio", à savoir organiser. Ainsi, le manuel d’utilisation Lowrance electronic 7300C HD décrit les étapes de la procédure. Le but du manuel d’utilisation est d’instruire, de faciliter le démarrage, l'utilisation de l'équipement ou l'exécution des actions spécifiques. Le manuel d’utilisation est une collection d'informations sur l'objet/service, une indice.

Malheureusement, peu d'utilisateurs prennent le temps de lire le manuel d’utilisation, et un bon manuel permet non seulement d’apprendre à connaître un certain nombre de fonctionnalités supplémentaires du dispositif acheté, mais aussi éviter la majorité des défaillances.

Donc, ce qui devrait contenir le manuel parfait?

Tout d'abord, le manuel d’utilisation Lowrance electronic 7300C HD devrait contenir:
- informations sur les caractéristiques techniques du dispositif Lowrance electronic 7300C HD
- nom du fabricant et année de fabrication Lowrance electronic 7300C HD
- instructions d'utilisation, de réglage et d’entretien de l'équipement Lowrance electronic 7300C HD
- signes de sécurité et attestations confirmant la conformité avec les normes pertinentes

Pourquoi nous ne lisons pas les manuels d’utilisation?

Habituellement, cela est dû au manque de temps et de certitude quant à la fonctionnalité spécifique de l'équipement acheté. Malheureusement, la connexion et le démarrage Lowrance electronic 7300C HD ne suffisent pas. Le manuel d’utilisation contient un certain nombre de lignes directrices concernant les fonctionnalités spécifiques, la sécurité, les méthodes d'entretien (même les moyens qui doivent être utilisés), les défauts possibles Lowrance electronic 7300C HD et les moyens de résoudre des problèmes communs lors de l'utilisation. Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service Lowrance electronic en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées. Actuellement, les manuels d’utilisation sous la forme d'animations intéressantes et de vidéos pédagogiques qui sont meilleurs que la brochure, sont très populaires. Ce type de manuel permet à l'utilisateur de voir toute la vidéo d'instruction sans sauter les spécifications et les descriptions techniques compliquées Lowrance electronic 7300C HD, comme c’est le cas pour la version papier.

Pourquoi lire le manuel d’utilisation?

Tout d'abord, il contient la réponse sur la structure, les possibilités du dispositif Lowrance electronic 7300C HD, l'utilisation de divers accessoires et une gamme d'informations pour profiter pleinement de toutes les fonctionnalités et commodités.

Après un achat réussi de l’équipement/dispositif, prenez un moment pour vous familiariser avec toutes les parties du manuel d'utilisation Lowrance electronic 7300C HD.

    v WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoi nt. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. Th erefore, the prudent navigator will not only ta[...]

    1 Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of GPS satellite navigation! We know you're anxious to begin finding your way with this space-age technol- ogy, but we have a favor to as k. Before you grab the GlobalMap ® and begin installing it, please give us a moment or two to exp[...]

    2 Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan GPS lessons that follow one an- other in chronological order. They're all you'll need to know to find your way on the water or in the wilderness quickly. After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS ex- perience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap's many ad[...]

    3 How Lowrance GPS Works You'll navigate faster and easier if you understand how the GlobalMap scans the sky to tell you where you are on the earth — and, where you're going (But if you already ha ve a working understanding of GPS receivers and the GPS navigation system, skip on ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories o n pa [...]

    4 Think of this data storage like the hard drive memory in a computer or a tape in a cassette tape recorder. You can save several different GPS data files, erase 'em and record new ones, over and over again. Like any com- puter file, these GPS Data Files (file format *.usr) can be shared be- tween Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units or even person[...]

    6 Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals. Unlike radio or television signals, GPS works at very high frequencies. These signals can be easily blocked by trees, buildings, an automobile roof, eve n your body. Like most GPS receivers, this unit doesn’t have a compass or any other navigation aid[...]

    11 NOTE: There are two basic power connection options, which are shown in the following two diagrams. Read the following instructions carefully to determine which power connection applies to your unit. De- pending on your configuration, yo u may not use all of these wires. Caution: All of the wires in the power/data cable have bare ends for eas- ie[...]

    12 this unit could be damaged to a point that it is irreparable and could even cause harm to the user when not properly fused. Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty.

    13 The network and any NMEA 2000 devices, including the GPS module, will not operate unless the NMEA 2000 Power Cable is connected to power. The NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected to power even if your only NMEA 2000 device is the GPS module and it is connected to the display unit's Network socket. (However, never con- nect multiple power[...]

If you do need to power your NM EA 2000 bus, attach the NMEA 2000 Power cable to an accessory switch as in dicated in power diagram A. The NMEA 2000 Power cable's red wire should be a ttached (with provided 3-amp fuse) to the positive (+[...]
