The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Philips Telephone Answering Machine, 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.

A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?
