This icon denotes a note, which alerts you to important information.

This icon denotes a caution, which advises you of precautions to take to 
avoid injury, data loss, or a system crash. When this symbol is marked on a 
product, refer to the 

Specifications

 section of this guide for information 

about precautions to take.

This icon denotes a warning, which advises you of precautions to take to 
avoid being electrically shocked. When symbol is marked on a product, it 
denotes a warning advising you to take precautions to avoid electrical 
shock.

When symbol is marked on a product, it denotes a component that may be 
hot. Touching this component may result in bodily injury. 

bold

Bold text denotes items that you must select or click in the software, such 
as menu items and dialog box options. Bold text also denotes parameter 
names.

italic

Italic text denotes variables, emphasis, a cross reference, or an introduction 
to a key concept. Italic text also denotes text that is a placeholder for a word 
or value that you must supply.

monospace

Text in this font denotes text or characters that you should enter from the 
keyboard, sections of code, programming examples, and syntax examples.
