Boca Pro16 Series - Conventions Used in the Guide

BOCA PRO16 Reference Guide
Conventions
Throughout this guide, we use certain symbols, type styles and conven-
tions to help you. For example, you might find a line that looks like this:
• Type:
ATI9 <E> (that is ‘ATI9’ not ‘AT19’)
What you actually type appears in a special typeface:
ATI9
Whatever appears on your screen will also be displayed in this manual
in this special typeface—for example: messages:
CONNECT
When we want you to press the ENTER key, we use a symbol:
<E> (which means ‘and press ENTER’)
On some keyboards the ENTER key is labelled RETURN. You press
RETURN or ENTER, as appropriate for your keyboard. The same is true
for keyboards showing a symbol, rather than RETURN or ENTER.
RETURN = ENTER
In some cases where the <E> symbol might be confusing, we will tell you
to ‘Press the ENTER key’.
When you see the bullet (•), it usually starts an action statement. We
want you to take some specific action, such as:
• Switch your computer on
• Type:
ATI9 <E>
Note that we do not use a (.) full stop after an action statement. We do
that to avoid confusion when you are asked to type commands and other
information. When we list general information, we use a box (o), like
this:
q How to begin dialing
q Using MNP for error-free communication
