"Do not submerge the main transmitter in Battery Acid."
"Do not place inside microwave ovens while in use."
"Do not feed to people with plastic allergies...."

I was certainly NOT referring to the manuals you get in Europe with Japanese products!!! Those are in a dozen languages, so there's maybe 5 pages per language, often very badly translated and always useless.
My experience about Japanese user manuals is that they are always extremely detailed and show step by step pictures. I bought a 3D graphics software when I was living in Japan, and even with my very limited understanding of written Japanese I was able to use the software after following the first few tutorials. And I definitely remember that my phone+fax+answering machine had a very thick user manual. Has Japan been aligning itself on European standards of service in the last 10 years?
