Hello,
Am looking for a comprehensive Tecno R 7 Smart Phone User Manual. The one packed with the phone is too brief! I have searched through the relevant web site, but could not find one. Where can I get it?
The piece is fantastic, but cannot make full utilization of the gadget without a proper descriptive manual.
Please assist/direct.
Thanks.
