A '''user guide''', also commonly known as a '''manual''', is a [[technical communication]] [[document]] intended to give assistance to people using a particular system. It is usually written by a [[technical writer]], although user guides could be written by programmers, product or project managers, or other technical staff, particularly in smaller companies.

The '''Long Island Lizards''' are a professional [[Lacrosse]] team based in [[Uniondale, New York]]. Since the 2001 season, they have been members of [[Major League Lacrosse]]. They are currently in the Eastern Conference. Prior to 2006, they were in the American Division.

User guides are most commonly associated with electronic goods, [[computer hardware]] and [[computer software|software]].

==Franchise history==

Most user guides contain both a written guide and the associated images. In the case of computer applications it is usual to include [[screenshot]]s of how the program should look, and hardware manuals often include clear, simplified [[diagram]]s. The language is written to match up with the intended [[audience]] with [[jargon]] kept to a minimum or explained thoroughly.

In their inaugural season in 2001, the Lizards split their home games between [[Hofstra Stadium]] and [[EAB Park]](now Citibank Park). For the 2002 season, they used Hofstra Stadium as their home field. As of 2003, the Lizards have played all home contests at [[Mitchel Athletic Complex]], in Uniondale, New York. The Lizards have won American Division championships in 2001, 2002, and 2003, and Major League Lacrosse titles in 2001 and 2003. The team made the playoffs in 2005 as a wildcard despite a losing record.

==Contents==

The usual sections of a user manual often include:

*A preface, containing details of related documents and information on how to best use the user guide

*A contents page

*A guide on how to use at least the main functions of the system

*A troubleshooting section detailing possible errors or problems that may occur along with how to fix them

*A [[FAQ]] (Frequently Asked Questions)

*Where to find further help and contact details

*A [[glossary]] and, for larger documents, an [[index_(publishing)|index]]
