I don't get the question. Write what you need to.

Are you creating a manual? If so, write about the
product, mention hardware requirements (if any beyond
the norm), installation instructions, removal
instructions, etc. 

This is no different than any other software manual.

If you're doing Help, well, then you need to look into
the API for that particular Help format. Is this a
Palm application, or Windows CE, or Pocket PC, or...?
