Online Manuals and User Guides
If you’re like most online shoppers, sometimes you need a little help figuring out all the intricacies of new gadgets. When researching tech products online-- in addition to skimming product reviews on Amazon, and browsing YouTube for “How To” videos-- it’s a good idea to go to the manufacturers website and download the PDF user guide for the specific product. It's one of the best ways to get a sense of the device features and other additional useful information.
For example, the manual for a new TV will show you the layout of the connectors in the back or side, an up-close view of the button layout on the remote, and even common troubleshooting tips. The list goes on, but the point is, you won’t have to wonder or feel lost when the information is at your fingertips.
After you purchase your new tech "toy," make sure to keep the downloaded PDF manual in a labeled folder on your computer. Having it in electronic form not only makes the manual tremendously more convenient to find, but the ability to search within a PDF makes finding specifics about the product so much quicker and easier.
