Definition
说明书 is a noun meaning 'manual' or 'instruction booklet' — a physical or digital document that explains how to use a product. It differs from 手册 (shǒu cè, 'handbook'), which is a broader reference guide, and from 说明 (shuō míng), which is the verb/noun 'explanation' itself, not a document.
