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 RAM is? 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
3
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 signage below? Do you still want to touch on that
thing? How about if there was no warning sign and you accidentally hold on it, what
would happen? Now let us know how important the symbols are not only for the
user’s safety but also for an efficient computer usage.

What is It
Computer Symbols
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.
4
General Symbols
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 the QR code
5
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.
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 email
programs and services, the fire symbol represents junk, and is a
location where all spam and other junk e-mails are stored.

What’s More
Column A Column B
1. Represent a trademark. a.
12. Often found at the bottom of many web pages to indicate the
content of the page is copyrighted.
k.
13. Represent deleting a file or another object on the computer
and may be a container for any deleted items.
l.
14. Used in communications to indicate there is a message that
needs to be read or that someone is typing a message.
m.
15. Represent an option that allows the user to view a
calendar, view date related information, or schedule an event.

Component References
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
In the circuit below, two light bulbs are connected in parallel to a battery power
source. The top terminals of the two light bulbs are connected 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
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.

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 emitter is not connected.
