Should You Have To?

[TWR]

You have just bought a new product, eg Mobile, CCTV, or many other Electrical items with no instructions, should they not be included within the box? why should YOU have to download & print them?

[TWR]

Oh, I should have used an alternative than O2 for a phone then.

I agree a manual should be available as an optional extra, for a charge.

[ummmm]

One of my phones didn't come with printed instructions. All the info was on the phone.

Other than that I've never received anything without a manual.

[TWR]

HC, the manual should be in the packaging / Box.

[ummmm]

Have you gone through the phones settings?

[TWR]

Here we go, as usual. For Funks Sake

[ummmm]

Like I said, TWR, with my phone the instruction manual was programmed into the phone.

I agree with you, TWR. Not everyone has internet access, and anyway it can be a bit of a faff to print out all the gubbins.

I think it varies a lot.

Tv, a comprehensive written manual.

Humax box - a brief how to connect leaflet then set up info and help is on screen.

Food mixer.kettle,toaster and washing machine are like novels though some do include recipes.

Why are you slating ABers who have a different perspective to you?

It really isn't the end of the world and very easily overcome.

16.55 was there any need for that sort of reply?

Saves the manufacturer money, you know where to find them (instruction manuals invariably get lost in this house). I'm too lazy to read them anyway :)

There was no need for your initial sarky though , was there ?

[Mamyalynne]

Eccles makes an interesting point, I have never thought when researching a new item to ask if a printed manual is included - I may consider doing that in future.

Ta Eccles.


My usual problem is how to get the thing out of the packaging.

[TWR]

Bye Bye.

[Mamyalynne]

Speak soon TWR.x

''kettle, toaster''

If you need a manual for either of those you shoudn't be allowed to own one.

Is it getting to the stage on this site by asking a Q get destroyed by one nasty person? no wonder members are going.
