Icon Conventions
The documentation set is designed to give the reader more visual clues. The following graphic icons are used
throughout the documentation set.
DANGER: The signal word DANGER with the associated safety icon implies information that, if
disregarded, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: The signal word WARNING with the associated safety icon implies information that, if
disregarded, could result in death or serious injury, or serious product damage.
CAUTION: The signal word CAUTION with the associated safety icon implies information that, if
disregarded, may result in minor or moderate injury, or serious product damage.
CAUTION: The signal word CAUTION may be used without the safety icon to state potential damage or
injury that is not related to the product.
IMPORTANT: IMPORTANT statements contain information that is crucial to the discussion at hand, but
is not a CAUTION or WARNING. There is no warning level associated with the IMPORTANT statement.
NOTE: NOTICE contains information more important than the surrounding text, such as exceptions or
preconditions. They also refer the reader elsewhere for additional information, remind the reader how to
complete an action (when it is not part of the current procedure, for instance), or tell the reader where
something is on the screen. There is no warning level associated with a notice.
