This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. Obey all safety measures that follow this symbol to avoid possible in-
jury or death.
There are three different categories of personal injury that are indicated with a
signal word.
DANGER This indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will re-
sult in death or serious injury.
WARNING This indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION This indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
This symbol together with the signal word NOTE and the accompanying text
alert the reader to a situation which may cause damage or malfunction to the
device, hardware/software, or surrounding property.
This symbol and the accompanying text provide the reader with additional in-
formation or refer to detailed sources of information.
