Equis about this blunder?
This is inexcusable. 
Its a very sloppy job.

<SPAN

doing good job at least they didn&#8217;t check the users manual carefully. I doubt 
that there must be some other mistakes in the user&#8217;s manual that is misleading

version upgrade but fail to provide good quality of product. This is not good at 
all.
