As I said in my post, I got in trouble for using said device.
He told us there was NO reason to print the instructions.
Except for the impact to my performance appraisal, he didn't last
long in that position.
You should have started with the machine powered off, powered it up,
and then asked him to follow the (inaccessible) IPL instructions to
IPL the machine (with you helping him to understand those functions
he was unable to understand). As an alternative, just ask him to read
them to you and you will perform the IPL by following his verbal
instructions. Either should have hopefully gotten the point across.
