NOMENCLATURE

Text conventions

This manual refers to amplifier controls at three functional levels; control blocks, specific controls

within a block, and settings of specific controls. To reduce confusion, we have employed several text
conventions which are specified below. Since our goal is to provide clarity rather than complexity, we
welcome any feedback you may wish to provide.

¾

Warner Instrument product numbers are presented using bold type.

¾

References to instrument panel control blocks are specified using

UNDERLINED SMALL CAPS

.

¾

References to specific controls within a block are specified using

NON

Special comments and warnings are presented in highlighted text.

Any other formatting should be apparent from context.

Device panel abbreviations

The BC-353 has several abbreviations on the front panel. They are listed here for quick

reference. In addition, these and other terms are collected and included in a Glossary at the back of
this manual.
