A-Z Instructions(for products)

Question

Just one more A-Z.

You know when you arrive home with your new telly - mobile phone - kids cubby-house; brand new laptop or whatever - and there is always a user manual ("manual de usar") that you should read first - but you only read it when you can't find the "power switch" or whatever?

Well I thought an A-Z - of all instructions and guides to do with products - the "puttings together"; the "dos and don'ts"; instructions to do with "troubleshooting" - anything really - and the alphabet letter we use can be any part of your post, it can be a verb, noun or whatever.

Post in Spanish, and Engish - both phrases and sentences - who knows, someone might pick up a useful tip! Anything is possible!

I will commence..

A - ¡Abre este extremo! (open this end)

Answer 7

Instalados en fábrica

Factory Installed referring to the Sistemos Operativos

So Lateto - what kind of thing would this be connected with? - nonombre, Jul 4, 2010

Most devises (and corresponding software) that one might connect to their computer. Some items are not Vista compatable, or an item may only work with Windows X, etc. They need to be compatable with your "Operating System" - LateToDinner, Jul 4, 2010

Oh okay - gracias lateto... - nonombre, Jul 4, 2010

De nada. - LateToDinner, Jul 4, 2010

The answer is "D: none of the above." Your clever remarks at PotD offset! - LateToDinner, Jul 4, 2010

Besides we are already up to Kodak, I mean K (sorry Matt), so its cool. But Annie will be watching you ... you could become a mysterious object - LateToDinner, Jul 4, 2010

I might leave off with my mum's instructions - I'd clog up the whole of Spanishdict if I started :o - nonombre, Jul 4, 2010
