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.

- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Tyco Electronics 15A2 15" LCD Multifuntion Touchcomputer item
