A caution notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially
hazardous to people because of some existing condition. A caution
notice can be accompanied by different symbols, as in the examples
below:
| If the symbol is... | It means... |
|---|---|
 |
A hazardous electrical condition with less severity than electrical danger. |
 |
A generally hazardous condition not represented by other safety symbols. |
 |
A hazardous condition due to the use of a laser in the product. Laser symbols are always accompanied by the classification of the laser as defined by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (for example, Class I, Class II, and so forth). |
Sample caution notices:
|

CAUTION: Data processing environments
can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules
that operate at greater than Class 1 power levels. For this reason,
never look into the end of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle.
