    Default Amusing Instructions

    I recently purchased a new door bell with two receivers, one receiver for the house and another for the shed when the lady of the house is not home.
    Never one to read manuals/instructions, only as a last resort, I happened to glance at the Door Bell instructions at a quite moment (after installation) and it is just as well I did not have to rely upon them.

    The attached instructions I find amusing/confusing particularly "Concept Breach" paragraph. I need a Chinglish interpreter

    And I suppose some western Co. claim it's made to their specs and QC.

    Having a good chuckle over the 'concept breach'. At the same time, I'm still trying to work out what it means!

    Had a good night's sleep and think I now realise what they mean. It might be different to what you expect because they are often making improvements/changes i.e there might be differences (breaches) from the original design (concept). Does that make sense?
    Cheers,

    I offer the following for translation - choose your own.

    Translation:
    Convenience- Quickness
    DIY design is therapeutic and reduces the need for professional help. It is safe as you do not need power tools so can harm no-one by digging a man trap. Listening to your apartment will assist in installation.

    OR

    Easy Installation
    DIY design ensures you do not need a professional for installation; nor do you require a line or to drill a hole to install. Installation is simple. You can install it anywhere you want within your apartment.

    Concept-Breach
    Product is melted to appeal to hipsters and modernists and no earthing will electrify your guests!

    OR

    New Design
    The unique design is continually updated, which makes the product more current.

    ###??
    The remote control works through multi-dimensional space so you can hear the music which is the theme from 'Friends'.

    OR

    ###??
    The remote control works 80m through multi-dimensional space so you can hear the music announce the arrival of your friends.

    I honestly have no idea what 'Fly Upwards-Space' could actually be. Maybe 'Freedom to put it anywhere'? Open to suggestions.

    Your Choice

    Fly upwards space. You can still hear it if you put it in a tree or a hot-air balloon.
    It really is innovative as it works in four dimensions (4D), presumably if you have a tardis you can still tell if someone's at the door.
    Cheers,
    Jim

    4D refers to it's ability to:

    If the unit exceeds (rather that just barely meets) the design tolerances, it will actually announce visitors before they arrive and push the button, with anywhere from a few milliseconds to seven days in advance.

    or

    If the unit just fails to meet design tolerances, it will announce visitors sometime after they push the button, with anywhere from a few milliseconds to seven days delay.

    So when the bell goes off, and there's no-one at the door, dont worry - they either went home or haven't arrived yet!
