When you purchased a new product do you read the user manual?

When you purchased a new product do you read the user manual?
- Yes, how else do I know how to operate?
- No, too much reading work
- User manual? What is that?

 

I am one of those who are really worried about breaking something right out of the box @_@b So I usually read the user manual to get the basics down (at least once), then it's improvision time

 

But aren't you too exited with the new purchase? Most electronics have a brick of an user/owner manual ...
Which will take ages too read and to understand ...

 

Nah, not really. Coz if I don't motivate myself to read the manual in the beginning, I will end up NOT reading it at all and miss out all the cool but more obscure features

I just try everything in the manual by following the instructions

 

i just mess about with it first, when i get bored i read the manuals.

 

depends on what it is... i've installed plenty of hard drives into computers, am I gonna take the time to reread the manual from each retailer? no... lol

but every motherboard is different, so i do pick up the manual and give it a looky over first...

 

when i don't know how it work..of course, i will read the manuel

 

Even if the product is something I'm familiar with, I'll at least skim the manual to see if the manufacturer decided to be weird and throw in a quirk or two. If the product is something I've never used before, you can bet I read the manual to find out all of the millions of ways I could use and abuse the thing.

 

Maybe you're just showing your age and can't keep up with technology anymore. -tongue2

Actually, I'm just creating an out for myself because that's what I do now... -whistle

 

i only read if i do'nt know wat to do...but mostly i try b4 i read

 

@AVANT: an out? What's that... I guess I am REALLY old...

 

Never bother to read manual, takes too long.

 

Congratulations, you just won yourself a "-wheel" award for the day. Sub in old with excuse

 

It's not old which is subbed =_=b anyways, okay.

 

takes too much energy to look at a book with too much information.
it shud just tell me how something works and thats about it ><"

 

if its a brand new gadget, yes otherwise you might miss out on some nifty functions, if its something i already know like a microwave, no...

 

I usually do, although you can figure out most of the items it is the special features, or clarification of functions that I find from reading the manual. I skim through each page quickly.

 

never read it except when I need to find out somethign that i can't figure out playing with it

 

ye i would but not every words
ussually will look at a quick guide to it
if not available ... screw it then
will look for it if i'm stuck ,,,, that havent happened yet
