Yeah, most of the pads are made in China, and the translation is pretty awful.

My Vortz had the exact same instructions. I've been meaning to scan them if I can ever find them again.

I laughed pretty hard at that.

Wow... my pad didn't come with much documentation, but as far as I can remember it was in perfectly clear english.
Haha I hope you don't need to rely on those to tell you how to use your pad

reminds me of what you would find on engrish.com

[MATS]

reminds me of something NVLM would say.
