Today you will learn to search and find out where to find instructions. I love it. We will be talking about operating instructions, user manuals, etc. for complex household appliances, electrical appliances, electronics, mobile phones, etc.
Have you ever come from abroad and bought some complicated thing there: phone iPad etc. You will probably answer in the affirmative. Because “over the hill” these things are one and a half to two times cheaper than in their homeland.
Have you often come across instructions in Russian included in the kit? I'm sure not. Most likely never.
Then you have two options: either teach English language. But it's long and tedious. The second option is to learn to find any instructions in Russian on the Internet.
I am sure that you will prefer the second option. Therefore, let’s quickly watch a short video that will solve another problem of yours.
Of course, you can say: I haven’t been abroad, I haven’t bought anything. I do not need it.
Take your time.
Who said it will always be like this?
Go and buy something someday.
After all, it's cheaper there. It will be possible to “splurge” and, at the expense of the saved money, have a rest like a human being.
So everyone watch the video.
Well, isn’t it really all very simple? Did you like it?
Then share with your friends and comment. Write what to tell you about next time.
Yes, I remind you that then your name will appear in the very CENTER of my site in the “Recent comments” section.
But the truth is only as long as yours is fresh. Others can “move it” by writing their opinion.
But don’t despair - there are many articles on the site. A comment on any of them returns you to the very first line. Taking into account the fact that almost all of us here are mini-information businessmen and are still semi-entrepreneurs, am I offering you bad PR?
Good luck to you in your niches.
Introduction. What does the instruction manual tell us?
I think many people, when purchasing a product in the store, looked at the instruction manual, since this is one of the thickest books supplied with their favorite product, be it electronics or winter boots. And for 80% of Russian residents, this was their last acquaintance with the operating instructions. Why? - you ask.
The reason is banal. When we get something new in our hands, we “basically” don’t have time to read anything about it. We first assemble, launch, configure, and then, after “we’re tired of the new toy,” we read the instructions.
Of course, someone gets acquainted with the instructions early. For example, a person bought mobile phone, and doesn’t even understand how to switch the interface to Russian - he, of course, turns to the instructions earlier than the person who, after putting contacts into it all day, doesn’t understand how to set an alarm for the morning. The result of all this is the same: instructions for cell phones are an integral part of any mobile phone.
This also applies to all other products, be it winter boots, which tell you how to care for them, or microwave ovens, which tell you how to use them correctly.
Not long ago there was a funny incident in the USA regarding microwave ovens. It consisted in the fact that a woman, after reading the instructions for using a microwave oven, decided that she could dry her beloved cat, which for some reason was wet. Without hesitation, “she warmed up the cat,” and then just as quickly sued the then company Goldstar and won, since the instructions did not indicate that animals “cannot be put in a microwave oven.” The result of this is not comforting: in order to avoid other similar scams from consumers of products that had already sold millions of copies, the Goldstar company liquidated itself, from the ruins of which the LG Electronics company grew.
Now every little detail is taken into account in all instructions, because the “Operating Instructions” supplied with the product are actually legal document, which can both protect the product supplier and ruin it to the point of complete collapse.
From all of the above, a simple conclusion suggests itself: “Read the instructions before handling the product you just purchased or the consequences of “penalizing yourself”.” This is especially relevant because:
- In Russia, legal proceedings are not as objective as in the USA, it is more subjective and not every judge will support you, just like a resident from the USA.
-Western companies stipulate everything in their operating instructions possible options use of the device and be sure to add that this instruction may change at any time without notifying the buyer.
-A in products Russian manufacturers, the instructions either cannot be found, or they are printed on such paper that you don’t want to pick them up.
Definition: operating instructions.
If we consider the very concept of “operating instructions” from a legal point of view, it turns out that:
“The operating instructions are the rules for using the product and its description officially certified by the manufacturer.”
As you can see, this is a rather blurry concept - without definite boundaries. It is not known to what extent to describe the product: either write a model and stop, or describe it, starting with temperature characteristics and ending with functionality.
Regarding the rules of use, producers are given the same practically monopoly right “to compose.”
The topic of operating instructions is also quite heavily discussed abroad. Various abbreviations are used there, which are applied to a particular surface of the product or used in discussions on the forum.
The following abbreviations are quite common:
1. RTM - stands for “Read the manual”. This abbreviation can also be found in official instructions to products.
2. RTFM - stands for "Reading the following materials", "read the accompanying documentation". But still, in the lexicon, for example, on forums, it is not recommended to answer in this way, otherwise they can be deciphered as “Read the fucking manual,” “read the fucking instructions.”
These basic abbreviations may hide the instructions for your cell phone. And if searching for the tag “panasonic instructions” does not yield success, you can try searching with these abbreviations, which will help you find it in a foreign language.
Search for operating instructions.
I think many people had the same problem as finding the operating instructions for a particular product. I recently encountered this problem myself - I needed instructions for the washing machine. It was not possible to find it, since there was no information about its existence, so it was decided to “study” the Internet.
Based on personal experience, I would like to introduce the basic principles of searching for operating instructions on the Internet:
1. Search using search engines.
I think this is the way a lot of people will start. The main thing here is to enter correctly keywords. You need to be very attentive to the endings of words, for example, to search for instructions for a video camera, you need to type “instructions for a video camera.”
2. Search on forums.
This is a search method for the “lazy”, but it gives quite high results - the main thing is to place your message correctly.
Forums of product manufacturers are most suitable for this kind of search, where they almost always have topics like “Help me find instructions...”.
3. Search on the manufacturer's website.
Honestly, this is the first thing that comes to mind, but it also turns out to be the most difficult. The reason is that having gone to the manufacturer’s website, you still need to get to the instructions section, find your “TV produced in 2000” in the archive and then rewrite the instructions. Although they could rewrite it 5 times faster by searching in any search engine for the query “instructions for TV.”
4. Search on specialized sites for “instructions”.
This is a fairly young area for the “Runet”, but there are already many sites in which instructions are posted in catalogs that provide convenient search. I really liked the site free-manuals.ru, where I easily found instructions for my washing machine - fortunately it was there. Prepared the article FireAiD especially for Mega Review

Is it possible to indicate the name of the manufacturer in Russian when searching?
The brand name must be specified accurately. If you are not sure how to spell a brand, you can replace part of the name with a space, for example “pana ni”. But if you distort the spelling of the brand, then such a search query will not yield results, i.e., if you write “Panasonic”, you will not be able to find the instructions.
