1037750-0001 Revision A ix

Understanding safety alert messages

Safety alert messages call attention to potential safety hazards

and tell you how to avoid them. These messages are identified by

the signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, or

NOTICE, as illustrated below. To avoid possible property

damage, personal injury, or in some cases death, read and comply

with all safety alert messages.

Messages concerning

personal injury The signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION

indicate hazards that could result in personal injury or in some

cases death, as explained below. Each of these signal words

indicates the severity of the potential hazard.

Messages concerning

property damage A NOTICE concerns property damage only.

DANGER

DANGER indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, ifnot

avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if

not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if

not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE

NOTICE is used for advisory messages concerning possible

property damage, product damage or malfunction, data loss, or

other unwanted results—but not personal injury.

x1037750-0001 Revision A

Safety symbols The generic safety alert symbol

calls attention to a potential personal injury hazard. It appears

next to the DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION signal words

as part of the signal word label. Other symbols may appear next

to DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION to indicate a specific

type of hazard (for example, fire or electric shock). If other

hazard symbols are used in this document they are identified in

this section.

Additional symbols This document uses the following hazard symbols:

Indicates a safety alert message that concerns a

potential electric shock hazard.

Indicates a safety alert message concerning a

potentially hazardous situation in which you could

fall.

Indicates a safety alert message concerning a

potentially hazardous situation in which you could

be exposed to radio frequency energy.
