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 possible death, read and
comply with all safety alert messages.
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.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury.
A NOTICE concerns property damage only.
NOTICE is used for advisory messages concerning possible property damage,
product damage or malfunction, data loss, or other unwanted results—but
not personal injury.
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.
This document uses the following hazard symbols:
Warning: Potential Radio Frequency (RF) hazard. Where you
see this alert symbol and WARNING heading, strictly follow
the warning instructions to avoid injury to eyes or other
personal injury.
