H63998 Revision B
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.
