Practical guide

Show how a gadget's controls work in close-up

Show how a gadget's controls work in close-up. Practical live-host checklist, fictional example and limits to check before your next session.

Demonstration checklist

  1. Name the control before pressing it.
  2. Show the resulting indicator.
  3. Distinguish short press from documented long press.

Fictional worked example

In a fictional rehearsal, a connection works in the demonstration but the viewer has a different setup. The team turns the problem into a concrete check: name the control before pressing it. Next, they show the resulting indicator. If the answer still depends on missing information, they distinguish short press from documented long press.

Limits and next check

Do not extend the result to an untested model. Keep the model number and specification sheet beside the demonstration notes for moderator review.
