Trial and error usually works for me, but I've only met 1 digital clock
that I couldn't figure out without the manual within 5 minutes. (And that
one is out of my life now.)
Then again, if I'm thrown an unfamiliar user interface, I can usually
figure it out anyway. And I *usually* don't break stuff. :) (And if
something can break *easily*, it's even odds as to whether or not my
touching it is going to break it, so I wasn't allowed to mess with the
really delicate database at my last job.) And I like to explore all the
options in the UI fairly early on, just to see what's there, unless I'm
just supposed to set the dang time after a battery replacement or a time
change. :)
