   When makers use a different name, they always act like the other brand   
   doesn't exist.   But they could have duplicated the manual or had a   
   different link that went there.   
      
   I've had some luck finding manuals by hunting on what seem like   
   unusual features.   I certainly found out what the strange words   
   meant.  (I can't remember details to give you.)
