As we know, Startek manuals have gone and even with CDs, Adobe Flash is about to go, so we need a replacement that is easy to use.

This is hopefully a more permanent solution without need for the downloads etc. Thanks to a kind soul over at Benzworld who allowed me to upload to his server.

Contrast and compare the German version with clear picture reproduction as opposed to the English version which looks as if it was shot through a plaid jacket.

For those of us not fluent in German, having a manual that is readable and understandable is far more valuable than pristine photographs. If you're fluent in German and can use the factory manual, more power to you. For the rest of us, grainy photos with intelligible text is more useful than a crappy Haynes manual that's better used as kindling than a service manual.
