Un buon manuale d’uso
Le regole impongono al rivenditore l'obbligo di fornire all'acquirente, insieme alle merci, il manuale d’uso AMT Datasouth 4000.

- istruzioni per l'uso, la regolazione e la manutenzione delle attrezzature AMT Datasouth 4000
- segnaletica di sicurezza e certificati che confermano la conformità con le norme pertinenti
Perché non leggiamo i manuali d’uso?

Questo manuale contiene una serie di linee guida per funzionalità specifiche, la sicurezza, metodi di manutenzione (anche i mezzi che dovrebbero essere usati), eventuali difetti AMT Datasouth 4000 e modi per risolvere i problemi più comuni durante l'uso. Infine, il manuale contiene le coordinate del servizio AMT Datasouth in assenza dell'efficacia delle soluzioni proposte.
