MESSAGES
Safety messages in this manual are used to warn of
possible hazards to people or equipment. A safety
message identifies a potential hazard and then explains
what may happen if the hazard is not avoided.
There are four types of safety messages: Notice, Warning,
Caution and Important. The messages are flagged with a
triangular safety icon.
Notice Message
The notice message will be used throughout various
technical manuals to indicate potential exposure to a Class
1 type laser (very low emittance). Due to the low output of
this type of laser, no additional precautions or special
equipment need be used. This Class 1 laser is used in the
customer premise FiberPoint unit and the HeadEnd BPON
or GPON card.

Warning Message
A warning message indicates a potentially hazardous
situation that can result in death or serious injury.
Following is an example of a warning message:

WARNING: Only authorized service personnel should
attempt to repair this equipment. All prob-
lem discovery and repair procedures are
detailed to allow only subassembly or
module level repair. Due to the complexity
of design, no one should attempt to make
repairs at the component level or make
modifications to any circuit boards.
Improper repairs can create a safety haz-
ard and/or loss of service.
Caution Message
A caution message indicates a potentially hazardous
situation that can result in minor or moderate injury or
equipment damage. It may also be used as an alert against
unsafe practices.
Following is an example of a caution message:

uct will increase eye hazard.
Important Message

damage to the product, equipment, or facilities, if
