Identify and Interpret Symbols
1
What’s In

Before we proceed to our lesson, let us have a review of the previous.

Can you identify at least one component to be measured? Do you know what
is RAM? Can you draw it in your CSS activity notebook? If you can, how did
you familiarize yourself with the component? Do you know that in this lesson
you will be able to familiarize and identify the different symbols used by
computers? All you need to do is to follow the symbols used in technical
activities involve in Computer Systems Servicing.

What’s New

What can you say about the sign in the picture below? Do you still want
to touch on that thing? How about if there was no sign appeared on and
accidentally you hold on it? What should you do? Now let us know how
important the symbol in dealing with the danger is. Just like using the
computer, you need to know some symbols to be aware of what was it
means.

10
 What is It

Computer Symbols

There are thousands of symbols used by computers today to represent

a function, specification, certification, company, or warning. For example, one
of the most recognizable symbols is an almost full circle with a vertical line at
the top that indicates power. Let us identify the most commonly displayed
symbols used with computers and electronics, with a brief description of what
each symbol means.
Note that most symbols are not standardized, which means the
symbols shown below may not match your software program or hardware
device. However, these symbols should be close enough to what you are
looking for that you can identify the meaning of each symbol.

General Symbols

1. A question mark symbol represents a question and allows you

to access help or online documentation.

2. A light bulb icon symbol represents a tip or an idea. For

example, on this page, we have several tips that can be
quickly identified with the light bulb next to the word "Tip."

3. The gear symbol indicates a configuration or settings option.

For example, many programs use a gear icon for buttons that
allow you to adjust a program's settings. Online services may
use a gear icon for the area that lets you change your account
settings.

4. A symbol with a wrench or a wrench and screwdriver is

another symbol that can be used in place of the gear to indicate
an area to adjust the settings or other options.

11
5. A speech bubble symbol is used in communications to
indicate there is a message that needs to be read or that
someone is typing a message. For example, on an iPhone,
the Messages icon and each of its messages uses the speech bubble
symbol and when someone is typing a speech bubble with three periods is
shown.

6. The check mark symbol indicates completion or that

something is ok. For example, a download dialog box may
show a green check mark when the download is complete.

7. A plus symbol or a horizontal line crossing a vertical line is

also a symbol used as an indication to increase, add, move
down, or zoom in on software programs and hardware devices.

8. A minus symbol or a horizontal line is a symbol used as an

indication for decreasing, removing, moving up, or zooming out
on software programs and hardware devices. On a Microsoft
Windows keyboard, the minus or underscore is also shown on
the top-right side of a window to represent the minimize feature.

9. A circle with a line through it is a symbol that represents

cancel or stop and may be over the top of another symbol.
For example, a speaker symbol with this over it indicates
mute. Tip: this symbol may also be represented by an X.

10. Three arrows going around a triangle is a symbol that

represents recycle or recycling. Anything with this symbol
that is not crossed out should be recycled.

11. A symbol with a series of boxes and jagged lines with boxes
in the corners like that shown here is a QR Code and used to
store information for scanning. For example, you could scan

12
 the QR code shown here to open the Computer Hope web page. Similar
markings could also be a matrix code or a barcode.

12. A padlock symbol is used to represent when anything is

locked or secure. For example, a keyboard key with
a lock can give you the option to lock the computer.

13. A calendar icon is used to represent an option that allows the

user to view a calendar, view date related information, or
schedule an event.

14. The thumbtack symbol is used to represent the ability to pin

an object to the screen. For example, with web applications
and some web pages, you may be able to pin individual
elements you enjoy viewing to the top of a page for quick viewing.

15. A symbol of a folder represents an area capable of storing

other files and folders on a computer.

16. A symbol of a trash can or a recycle bin is a symbol used to

represent deleting a file or another object on the computer and
may be a container for any deleted items.

17. The fire symbol can have many different meanings when
used on a computer, software program, or an Internet web
page. The first meaning is that the item is hot and could
mean that it is critical, important, or popular and should be
looked at first. In some e-mail programs and services, the fire symbol
represents junk, and is a location where all spam and other junk e-mails
are stored.

18. A C with a circle surrounding it is used to represent

a Copyright. For example, at the bottom of many web pages

13
 (including this page) the Copyright symbol or (c) may be shown to indicate
the content on the page is Copyrighted.

19. An R with a circle surrounding it is used to represent a

registered mark. For example, this mark may be seen by a
company logo or brand name that is a registered mark.

20. A TM with a circle surrounding it or TM by itself is used to

represent a trademark.

14

computer and may be a container for any deleted items.

15
 that needs to be read or that someone is typing a m.
message.

What is It
Schematic Diagram

Circuit or schematic diagrams consist of symbols representing physical

components and lines representing wires or electrical conductors. To learn
how to read a circuit diagram, it is necessary to learn what the schematic
symbol of a component looks like. It is also necessary to understand how the
components are connected in the circuit.

https://www.startingelectronics.org

Circuit Symbols and Physical Components

16
 Each electronic or electrical component is represented by a symbol as
can be seen in this simple circuit diagram. Lines used to connect the symbols
represent conductors or wires. Each symbol represents a physical component
that may look as follows.

https://www.startingelectronics.org

Component References
Components in a circuit should always have references, also
called reference designators, used to identify the components in the circuit.
This allows the components to easily be referenced in text or a component
list. A battery may have the reference designator "BAT" and a light bulb may
have a reference "L".
Because there could be more than one battery or light bulb in a circuit,
reference designators will usually always end with a number, e.g. BAT1 and
L1 as shown in the circuit below. A second light bulb in the circuit would then
have the reference designator L2.

https://www.startingelectronics.org

17
 Parallel Circuit Example
In the circuit below, two light bulbs are connected in parallel to a
battery power source. It can be seen that the top terminals of the two light
bulbs are connected and to the positive terminal of the battery. We know this
because the three terminals or connection points have a node where they
intersect.

The bottom terminals of the bulbs are connected and the negative
terminal of the battery because the second node shows these connections.

https://www.startingelectronics.org

Series Circuit Example

In the series circuit below, two light bulbs are connected in series. No
nodes are necessary in this circuit to show the bulbs connecting and the
battery because single wires are connecting straight to each other. Nodes are
only placed if three or more wires are connected.

Additional Activities

Congratulations! Job well done! Now you have prior knowledge of the
different circuit symbols you are also able to draw on it. This time we will
make a circuit diagram in actual application. Below is the picture of the AC -
DC converter circuit diagram. Your task is to perform actual wiring on the

34
components based on the circuit diagram. Don't worry because all the
components for this activity will be provided by your teacher. And during the
actual performance, your teacher will always be there to help you.
