A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Rosewill RNX-N150HG, 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.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Rosewill RNX-N150HG 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.

- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Rosewill RNX-N150HG item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Rosewill RNX-N150HG alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Rosewill RNX-N150HG, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Rosewill service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers.

Why one should read the manuals?
