The DANGER signal word indicates an imminently hazardous situation. It calls
attention to a procedure, practice, or the like that if not correctly performed or
adhered to will result in death or serious personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a
DANGER signal word until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.

The WARNING signal word indicates a potentially hazardous situation. It calls
attention to a procedure, practice, or the like that if not correctly performed or
adhered to could result in death or serious personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a
WARNING signal word until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.

The CAUTION signal word indicates a potentially hazardous situation. It calls
attention to a procedure, practice, or the like that if not correctly performed or
adhered to may result in minor or moderate personal injury, material damage,
particularly to the product, destruction of part or all of the product, or loss of data. Do
not proceed beyond a CAUTION signal word until the indicated conditions are fully
understood and met.

Note Signal Words

The following symbols could appear in the documentation of the instrument:

The IMPORTANT signal word calls attention to a note that provides important
information, or information essential to the completion of a task.

The NOTE signal word calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like,
which requires special attention. A note also denotes related parenthetical
information that is useful, but not imperative.
