  I suspect that manuals are put together by people who don't think 
  in abstractions.  I have no idea what kind of cables I have and I am
  not going to stand there with a microscope counting the pins. But
  I have wide scsi. My suggestion is meant to be helpful - a naive but
  informed user has tested their dialog screen and found it wanting. All
  they have to do is put your excellent explanation in the help box. That
  will increase the value of their product in a subtle way - it will make
  it customer-friendly.

I will check on the help screen(s) in the BT-948/958 when I get the chance.
The BT-956C is already end-of-life'd, so there wouldn't be any point in my
suggesting improvements for it.
