As to firmware updates, when doing a firmware update, also print out the release notes and insert them into your manual.   Now, you have an updated manual.

Don makes an excellent point regarding new firmware release notes.  Unlike
other manufacturers, Elecraft manuals in PDF allow us to make notes with
Acrobat Reader.  If pertinent, I update my manuals with release notes.  That
reinforces the changes, even if briefly.  However, when I look in the manual
for a specific function, I will likely see the note with the most current
information.

RTFM is a popular acronym today.  It also implies the "M" (manual) is
current.  It's our, IMHO, responsibiliy to keep our manuals current.  We can
even add our own notes, like lessons learned.  Once updated, I save mine by
adding "Annotated" to the original filename.  I also keep copies on any
computer I might use with the gear, especially ones I take on-the-road.
