Disposal Information
The European Union's Waste of Electrical and Electronic
Equipment directive requires that products sold into EU
countries must have the crossed out trashbin label on the
product (or the package in some cases). As defined by the
WEEE directive, this cross-out trashbin label means that customers

Customers or end-users in EU countries should contact their local
equipment supplier representative or service centre for information
about the waste collection system in their country.

Icon Conventions
The document set is designed to give the reader more visual cues.
The following graphic icons are used throughout the documentation
set. These icons and their associated meanings are described
below.
The signal word Warning with the associated
safety icon implies information that,
if disregarded, could result in death or serious
injury, or serious product damage.
The signal word Caution with the associated
safety icon implies information that, if
disregarded, may result in minor or moderate
injury, or serious product damage.
The signal word Caution may be used without the safety
icon to state potential damage or injury that is not related to
the product.
Notes contain information more important than the surrounding
text, such as exceptions or preconditions. They also refer the
reader elsewhere for additional information, remind the reader
how to complete an action (when it’s not part of the current
procedure, for instance), or tell the reader where something is
located on the screen. There is no warning level associated
with a Note.
