A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of AMX NetLinx ZigBee Compatible Gateway and Repeater NXR-ZGW/-ZRP, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of AMX NetLinx ZigBee Compatible Gateway and Repeater NXR-ZGW/-ZRP one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of AMX NetLinx ZigBee Compatible Gateway and Repeater NXR-ZGW/-ZRP. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?
