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 it is a different device and many of the features are very different.  I have the device working with my own sim, etc., but it would be easier to work out all of the features if I had a guide.  Does anyone know where I could locate a manual for this model?

Only unlocked aircard guide I can find is this:

 

Aircard 790 Retail unlocked

 

Is it this one?

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.

Aircard 760S (BigPond)

 

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.
