Conventions 
This manual uses the following formats to describe, identify, and highlight 
terms and operating procedures. 
Abbreviations 
On first appearance, and whenever necessary for clarity, abbreviations are 
enclosed in parentheses following their definition. For example: Read 
Only Memory (ROM). Acronyms are also defined in the Glossary. 
Icons 
Icons identify ports, dials, and other parts of your computer. The indicator 
panel also uses icons to identify the components it is providing 
information on. 
Keys 
The keyboard keys are used in the text to describe many computer 
operations. A distinctive typeface identifies the kejy top symbols as they 
appear on the keyboard. For example,
 Enter identifies the Enter key. 
Key operation 
Some operations require you to simultaneously use two or more keys. We 
identify such operations by the key top symbols separated by a plus sign 
(+). For example, Ctrl + C means you must hold down Ctrl and at the 
same time press C. If three keys are used, hold down the first two and at 
the same time press the third. 
ABC When procedures require an action such as clicking an icon 
or entering text, the icon’s name or the text you are to type 
in is represented in the type face you see to the left.
