quick start guide
Brief setup instructions
A quick start guide is a condensed manual that helps users begin using a product immediately, skipping detailed explanations in favor of essential steps.
Unlike full documentation, it assumes you want to get going now and read later: The quick start guide had me up and running in ten minutes.
Common with electronics, software, and appliances.
