Every time you get a new machine or gadget, you open its manual first to read about it. The manual helps you understand the working of your gadget and guides you about how to use it properly. Without it, you might still end up figuring out how to make the machine work, but you can make a few mistakes before you get to that point. Sometimes, those mistakes can be damaging for a machine. It can get damaged before you had even begun using it. This is why reading the manual is the wise thing to do. It is a guide sent to you by the creators of the device in your hand because they want you to know what’s the best way of using something.
The manuals also tell you some very important functions of a machine, which you would have been unable to figure out by yourself. However, there are many things about a machine that aren’t mentioned on a manual. Take a smartphone, for instance. The manual will tell you where the power button is or which are the volume keys but it won’t tell you much about the functioning of your device. You will have to use the phone to figure out its system. If you don’t use it at all and expect to figure it out by looking up information, you won’t get anywhere. There is nothing that the manuals and guides can you tell about a phone which you would understand without touching it. You will have to pick it up and go through its functions to figure out what it can do and how you can use its features for your benefit.
