Hazard Symbols and Admonitions

This section presents the types of admonitions and hazard symbols used in all
Ericsson documentation. There are three levels of personal health and safety
admonitions that indicate risk to persons: danger, warning and caution. Hazard
symbols are used to indicate these and to present various other hazards.
The admonition levels for personal health and safety are presented in order
of severity, with danger being the highest level, warning the intermediary
and caution the lowest. When admonitions are encountered anywhere in a
document, the information included should be read and any instructions should
be followed.
