Documentation Conventions
The following paragraphs describe some of the conventions that are used in your
MTS manuals.
Hazard conventions
Hazard notices may be embedded in this manual. These notices contain safety
information that is specific to the activity 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 all directions and recommendations.
Three different levels of hazard notices may appear in your manuals. Following
are examples of all three levels.
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 or equipment damage,
or could endanger test integrity.
Notes
Notes provide additional information about operating your system or highlight
easily overlooked items. For example:
Note Resources that are put back on the hardware lists show up at the end of
the list.
