quick start guides
Brief beginner instructions
Quick start guides are abbreviated instruction manuals designed to get users up and running with a product immediately.
They skip comprehensive documentation in favor of essential steps: The quick start guide had me connected in five minutes.
Often a single page or card included with electronics, software, or appliances, they assume users want to start using something now and will consult the full manual only if problems arise.
