De acordo com a lei, pode anexar o manual em uma outra forma de que em papel, o que é frequentemente utilizado, anexando uma forma gráfica ou manual electrónico3Com XLPCI vídeos instrutivos para os usuários. A condição é uma forma legível e compreensível.

O que é a instrução?

A palavra vem do latim "Instructio" ou instruir. Portanto, no manual 3Com XLPCI você pode encontrar uma descrição das fases do processo.

O manual contém uma série de orientações sobre funcionalidades específicas, a segurança, os métodos de manutenção (mesmo sobre produtos que devem ser usados), possíveis defeitos 3Com XLPCI e formas de resolver problemas comuns durante o uso. No final, no manual podemos encontrar as coordenadas do serviço 3Com na ausência da eficácia das soluções propostas.
