Lesson
Identify and Interpret Symbols
1
What’s In
Before we proceed to our new lesson, let us have a review of the previous
one. 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 involved in Computer Systems Servicing.
What’s New
What can you say about the sign in the picture below? Do you still want
to touch that thing? How about if no sign appeared on that thing, and
accidentally you held it? What should you do? Now, let us know how important
the symbol is in dealing with the danger. Just like using the computer, you need
to know some symbols to be aware of what they mean in order to do tasks well
and avoid accident.

Computer Symbols
General Symbols

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.
11. A symbol with a series of boxes and jagged lines with boxes in
the corners like that shown here is a QR Code used to store
information for scanning. For example, you could scan
5
the QR code shown here to open the Computer Hope web page. Similar
markings could also be a matrix code or a barcode.
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.

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.

Component References
Components in a circuit should always have references, also called
reference designators, to identify the components in the circuit. These allow the
components to easily be referenced in text or 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 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.

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 to the positive terminal of the battery. This is because the three
terminals or connection points have a node where they intersect.
The bottom terminals of the bulbs are connected to the negative terminal
of the battery because the second node shows these connections.

14
Photodiode works as a photo-
detector and converts light into
its corresponding voltage or
Photo Diode Circuit current.
Photo Diode Symbol
The working of
a phototransistor is similar to
that of a bipolar transistor with
a difference that it converts light
into its corresponding current.
The phototransistor can also
act as a photodiode if the
Phototransistor Circuit emitter is not connected.
Phototransistor Symbol
15
Voltmeter is used to measure
the voltage at a certain point in
the circuit.
