Conventions for Alert Messages

This manual uses the following conventions to show the alert messages. An alert

message consists of an alert signal and alert statements. The alert signal consists of

an alert symbol and a signal word or just a signal word.

The following are the alert signals and their meanings:

This indicates a hazardous situation likely to result in

serious personal injury if the user does not perform

the procedure correctly.

This indicates a hazardous situation could result in

serious personal injury if the user does not perform

the procedure correctly.

This indicates a hazardous situation could result in

minor or moderate personal injury if the user does

not perform the procedure correctly. This alert signal

also indicates that damages to the product or other

property, may occur if the user does not perform the

product correctly.

This indicates information that could help the user

use the product more efficiently.

In the text, the alert signal is centered, followed below by the indented message. A

wider line space precedes and follows the alert message to show where the alert

message begins and ends. The following is an example:

(Example)

It is possible to use bit 7 and bit 6 of the control byte as an inherent

control field in future product specifications. It is recommended that

the INIT specify zero in this field.
