An Instruction Manual for a commercial or light industrial product can be known by a variety of names, such as User Manual, User Instruction Manual, User Guide, Operating Instructions or Product Manual. We are talking about the manual that is in the box with the product and is used to provide instruction to the user on how to safely install, use and maintain the product.

Orchid write and produce Instruction Manuals for a wide range of off-the-shelf products. For example, we have written manuals for products ranging from commercial dishwashers and body-worn cameras to hand held gas analysers and digital video recorders.

An Instruction Manual might typically contain information on:

• Product Identification
• Safety / Warnings
• Unpackaging / What’s in the Box?
• Product Overview
• Controls and Indicators
• Installation / Configuration
• Operating Instructions
• Maintenance / Spares
• Troubleshooting
• Data Tables
• Warranty / Disposal / Environmental / Certification
• Contact Details

If a product is to be sold in a number of countries, an Instruction Manual in multiple languages might be considered. Orchid can arrange for translation, if required.
