I've not had any faults with the unit and my warranty card is in English, so you may have purchased one of the earlier models (or a Spanish import!?). The instructions are brief, but it's actually quite easy to use once you get the hang of it. I'll be writing various guides at some point, but they could have done with adding instructions for PC connection and a handy reference guide to the levels rather than having to find the manual each time. I think Novag made a bad start to the product, but now it looks like they have redeemed themselves.

Faulty during some moves and changed colors without hitting the mode button. Novag needs instructions and it needs to be more user friendly. Even the warranty card was just in Spanish. Novag could learn from Saitek. ChessBaron in the UK knows of problems with this model. I bought a Novag Citrine and returned it the same week.
