Documentation Conventions

The following paragraphs describe some of the conventions that are
used in your MTS manuals.

Hazard conventions

As necessary, hazard notices may be embedded in this manual. These
notices contain safety information that is specific to the task to be
performed. Hazard notices immediately precede the step or procedure
that may lead to an associated hazard. Read all hazard notices carefully
and follow the directions that are given. Three different levels of hazard
notices may appear in your manuals. Following are examples of all
three levels.

Note

For general safety information, see the safety information
provided with your system.

Danger notices indicate the presence of a hazard with a high level of risk
which, if ignored, will result in death, severe personal injury, or
substantial property damage.

Warning notices indicate the presence of a hazard with a medium level
of risk which, if ignored, can result in death, severe personal injury, or
substantial property damage.

Caution notices indicate the presence of a hazard with a low level of risk
which, if ignored, could cause moderate or minor personal injury,
equipment damage, or endanger test integrity.

Notes

Notes provide additional information about operating your system or
highlight easily overlooked items. For example:
