Manual for unlocked Telstra AC790s Advanced?

I recently purchased an unlocked Telstra AC790s (Advanced) from an online retailer (not the Advanced 2). The package did not come with a manual. The AC790s Advanced 2 manual is available online but...

Hi,

You would think so, but the manual you found also keeps mentioning a touch screen as with the Advanced 2, and my device does not have that- it resembles what's in the 790s manuals, but has a smaller screen that is only color on boot-up and has fewer indicators. I'm beginning to think I was sold a more basic unit packed up in a different box. The box said Telstra but the boot-up says Big Pond. Sigh. I'll have to start sorting through the other devices to see what I find.

Checked again, the box says 790s. Looked under the battery of the device. It's a 760s. Live and learn.

Doesn't seem to be a manual though :(

Maybe this?

  Good for a quick start guide, I think. There is a generic European (unlocked retail) user guide for the 762s that seems to be about as close as I'm going to get for a more extensive manual:

  It looks like most of the details are close if not identical to the device I have.
