The Operating Manual covers the set up and use of the Holoseat.  It starts with the steps needed to prepare the Holoseat for first time use.  It then moves on to how to use the Holoseat hardware while playing your games, followed by instructions for the desktop configuration app.  Finally, the Operating Manual closes with some troubleshooting steps.
