User Manuals

Two hardware product manuals for uAttend cloud time clocks. Each one takes a buyer from an unopened box to a working clock with employees punching in, then stays useful as a reference for menus, troubleshooting, and warranty.

What these had to do

The same job, two different devices

A product manual is read by someone who has already bought the thing and now needs it working. It is read out of order, under time pressure, often while standing at a wall with a drill. The writing has to survive being skipped.
