Conventions

This manual uses the following formats to describe, identify, and highlight
terms and operating procedures.

Abbreviations

On first appearance, and whenever necessary for clarity, abbreviations are
enclosed in parentheses following their definition. For example: Read
Only Memory (ROM). Acronyms are also defined in the Glossary.

Icons

Icons identify ports, dials, and other parts of your computer. The indicator
panel also uses icons to identify the components it is providing
information on.

Keys

The keyboard keys are used in the text to describe many computer
operations. A distinctive typeface identifies the key top symbols as they
appear on the keyboard. For example, Enter identifies the Enter key.

Key operation

Some operations require you to simultaneously use two or more keys. We
identify such operations by the key top symbols separated by a plus sign
(+). For example, Ctrl + C means you must hold down Ctrl and at the
same time press C. If three keys are used, hold down the first two and at
the same time press the third.
