Hi, LList! I believe that is the reason they offer the option of the Table of Contents, or the Index. With the Index, it is possible to go to specific areas for certain items, then return to the Index when you needed another item. At least, I have used the Index extensively and enjoyed the way it works. I find this manual very useful and informative compared to other manuals for adaptive equipment. Though, I do tend to read before experimenting with something.
Have a great Holiday!
