Conventions and Symbols Used in this Guide
This guide uses the following conventions for notes, cautions, and warnings:
Warning
A warning alerts you to a potential serious outcome, adverse event or safety 
hazard. Failure to observe a warning may result in death or serious injury to 
the user or patient.
Caution
A caution alerts you to situations where special care is necessary for the safe 
and effective use of the product. Failure to observe a caution may result in 
minor or moderate personal injury or damage to the product or other 
property, and possibly in a remote risk of more serious injury.
Note— A note calls your attention to an important point in the text.

This symbol is used to identify terminals which are connected together, bringing various 
parts of an equipment or system to the same potential, not necessarily being earth potential 
(the value of potentials of earth may be indicated adjacent to the symbol).
Protective Earth Terminal 
 
This symbol identifies the terminal for connection to an external protective earth.
