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.
