Frankly speaking, I am a kind of lazy person. In real life I come across many devices and stuffs many of which have instruction manuals. So just wanted to write about Instruction manuals of those devices. Unfortunately I do not read instruction manuals. Even if I read, I do not remember most of the instructions on how to operate and blah blah blah.
Unfortunately not reading instruction manual is a big big drawback. Reading and forgetting is like a sin. I have installed Central locking / Keyless entry onto my car. The key chain has 3 buttons. Two of which are to arm / lock and disarm / unlock.
When you either try to arm or disarm there is a siren which beeps twice before the door gets armed / disarmed. Since few days, I found out that, there was no siren, but the door was getting armed / disarmed properly. Even the buzzar while taking reverse was not effective.
I thought and thought and decided that I shall visit the showroom today and check if there is a fault. Minutes before leaving for the showroom, I had to gather the warrantly form for the central locking thing. It came alongside the instruction manual.
To my surprise there were lots of permutations and combinations with 3 buttons as such.
And when I went through the instruction set, I found
" Pressing ARM and DISARM buttons simontaneously would turn off the siren ". In other words its meant for silent ARM and DISARM.
So pressed the same two buttons in the same fashion and yes, the siren was up and running.
Phew saved some fuel and time for me and yes, some grace as well. Else people at showroom would have thought " Ohh this guy seems to be an illiterate ?? "...
Hmm, whatever...
Cheers,
Sandeep
