Un buon manuale d’uso
Le regole impongono al rivenditore l'obbligo di fornire all'acquirente, insieme alle merci, il manuale d’uso Gigabyte G1.Assassin 2 (rev. 1.0). La mancanza del manuale d’uso o le informazioni errate fornite al consumatore sono la base di una denuncia in caso di inosservanza del dispositivo con il contratto. Secondo la legge, l’inclusione del manuale d’uso in una forma diversa da quella cartacea è permessa, che viene spesso utilizzato recentemente, includendo una forma grafica o elettronica Gigabyte G1.Assassin 2 (rev. 1.0) o video didattici per gli utenti. La condizione è il suo carattere leggibile e comprensibile.
Che cosa è il manuale d’uso?
La parola deriva dal latino "instructio", cioè organizzare. Così, il manuale d’uso Gigabyte G1.Assassin 2 (rev. 1.0) descrive le fasi del procedimento. Lo scopo del manuale d’uso è istruire, facilitare lo avviamento, l'uso di attrezzature o l’esecuzione di determinate azioni. Il manuale è una raccolta di informazioni sull'oggetto/servizio, un suggerimento.
Purtroppo, pochi utenti prendono il tempo di leggere il manuale d’uso, e un buono manuale non solo permette di conoscere una serie di funzionalità aggiuntive del dispositivo acquistato, ma anche evitare la maggioranza dei guasti.
