Amen to that! Read The *Fine* Manual.
“Oh, but Bill, reading is such HARD WORK!”
Life can involve some hard work. Folks just need to get over it and dig in.

At times I read the manual to answer people who didn't read and asked the question. I really don't mind. And these are on equipment I don't own

I’ve done the same.

Well said - I am sending it back for replacement!
Definitely the right thing to do in this case. Good luck and let us know what happens.

The best advice I ever received was, that large pad of paper placed in the camera’s (or any other item one purchases) box/container is not padding or packaging material, it is the user manual, read it. The majority of those interested in purchasing a DSLR, or other even slightly complicated item, will probably have sufficient understanding to obtain enough knowledge to know where to look in that manual. Personally, I start with the index or table of contents. Just saying.

Good thoughts. Just one thing. I change my battery ‘hot’ all the time. Never give it a thought. Camera doesn’t care. Card doesn’t care. I like the camera on. It goes to sleep if it feels neglected long enough.

Sometimes people just need a translation from Manual English to normal English. Or to English from the manufacturers terminology. There is where a search on the PDF version may fail. This is also where an index in the manual becomes useful.

I have occasionally wished that I could get a Word or Pages based file of the English Version of a typical manual and, having little else to do, go through and correct/simplify some of these syntax, usage, spelling and other errors in manuals. It would certainly be an interesting exercise.

It would also be a lot of work.
