I like Sharon's advice (ask the user directly). But I haven't seen anyone
mention context-sensitive help or conditional text.
I hope the lengthy paragraphs in your query are not representative of your
manuals--that would certainly turn off users.
A couple of guidelines:
KISS--keep it simple, sir

a short 1-3 page list, print it on color paper, and put it in the box
with the product. That they might read.
