An operator manual is important, but a lot of us like to be able to work with equipment more intuitively. Being able to perform at least basic tasks without the manual is a sign of good HMI programming. Conversely, needing a manual for simple things is suggestive that the human interface could be improved.

My computer keyboard uses iconic legends to describe alternate function key behavior, for example. Those visual cues are helpful for using the keyboard more efficiently.

I think the hp Prime would benefit by having brightness cues, and possibly 'terminal screen' cues (on-T) as part of the interface legend. The keyboard legend color contrast could also be improved, but there's probably near consensus on that!
