Also, it makes it a little easier to use the device if I've already read up on it while I'm waiting for it to arrive.
Dear Davimee:

Here is the oft-explained problem and I am glad you brought it up again!

Generally, we get the User Manual to rework about three months before we get the real device. In other words, I get a file of horribly written English that I have to try to put into some semblance of readability. Then, I have no knowledge of the real device and yet I am charged with explaining it. BUT... the Printer in Taiwan has to print it up so I have to rush it back.

The end result is that the User Manual hits some good points but only a few. That is why we use the FAQ sheet as that we can change and keep relatively current. THE FAQ is a great tool for us and the User Manual not so great.

THIS is why I try to recommend to each new end user to "READ THE FAQ SHEET".

The situation is gradually improving on the User Manual.
