Do You Still Have Paper Manuals?

Still prefer paper. I have one manual, which is a composite of the important pages from all the panels I work on usually. 90% of the installer manual is stuff you already know. I need code tables, references, power specs, diagnostic codes etc, so that's all I take with me. Every so often when I get an unfamiliar panel then it's laptop+google to the rescue. I do so much dislike those sites that want to charge a fiver for manuals in PDF even though it cost them nothing, but still wind up having to use them :(

The best solution i have found is my galaxy s2 tethered to the laptop and go on line to tsi if i dont already have them on the laptop

No one can deny the importance of Paper. Even you are with andoroid or laptop. I am using both paper and laptop.

Tablet all the way aslong as i can get a 3g connection or wifi as all our forms and manuals are on the net.

Still have to carry papper forms and manuals just in case and always will until 3g signals get better.

Used to have a Red paper Scanny Bible with 98 Info.

Bloody embarassed not to find it the recent Pdf version held on my Phone..

Now printed on paper and in the file...

Luckily the customer isn't rushed..

TBH...My mistake..
