User Manuals are often the first thing that go to the garbage bin, after you have got your hands on your favorite product / gadget, though most of the time you do not require a user manual, it becomes essential when you have a problem with your gadget or want to learn more about certain features.
But the user manuals are long gone with no possible way of getting them back. So how do you find user manuals for any products or gadgets online? Well follow these simple tips to find the the user manuals for your products.
Google Search Trick
Google search is a abundance of resources and documents and you just need to use the right search terms to find things from it. To search for user manuals with Google, follow this simple trick.
Search for “Product Name user manual” without the quotes, this should show you links from where you can easily download user manuals for your gadget.
User Manual Index
UserManualGuide provides users with a browsable index of user manuals, the user manuals are neatly categorized into proper hierarchy. So you can find user manuals based on manufacturers, which are further divided into product categories like home products, PC products, cellphones and so on.
Nodevice is also a great place to start searching for user manuals, it indexes the manuals for most of the popular gadgets, computer systems, cellphones, home products and more.
You can also find service manuals for products such as microwaves, fridges and more. Visit Nodevice to browse the user manuals index.
Search The Manufacturer Website
The last preferred way of finding manuals would be to search on it on the manufacturers site, the problem we see here is that popular product manufacturers keep on building newer and newer products making it a bit harder to find the right manual for the product.
The first two methods will not only help you find manuals from the manufacturers site itself, it will also give you access to several user uploaded manuals which are scattered across the internet, giving you a higher chance of finding the manuals.
If all else fails don't be afraid to call the manufacturer and ask for a copy to be either emailed or regualr mailed to you, there might be a small fee but given the other option (replacing the technology) It's probably worth it.
