Un bon manuel d’utilisation

Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation TROY Group Bluetooth Print Adapter. 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.

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 TROY Group Bluetooth Print Adapter décrit les étapes de la procédure.

Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service TROY Group en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées.
