Or whatever prize you think your target audience of manual-ignorers might be most motivated to do something for (sorry if some of my anti-bling prejudice is showing through, use your own judgment, of course...)
You could even direct 'em to an on-line web entry - referencing an on-line manual, of course. Free UV whatever! Impress your friends!

There used to be a class of motorcycle rider that was like this (possibly an America-only phenomenon). They were uninterested in better handling, power,or comfort, but wanted more chrome and more lights. I don't see many of these bikes on the road any more - maybe they're decorating PCs?
