Safety: Definitions of Terminology
Definitions of Terminology
Six types of special notices are used throughout this manual. They are: Danger,
Warning, Caution, Contraindication, Important, and Note. The warnings and
cautions in this Safety section relate to the equipment in general and apply to all
aspects of the monitor. Be sure to read the other chapters because there are
additional warnings and cautions which relate to specific features of the monitor.
When grouped, warnings and cautions are listed alphabetically and do not imply any
order of importance.
