Oh, I see. You don’t like the glossary approach. I really could not figure out what you were complaining about. In a technical manual, most readers already know the acronyms. Spelling each one at first use is going to lengthen and clutter the text. Technical writing has is own needs, and isn’t always friendly to newbies.
