+for using error notes</title>       <p>Use an error note when:</p>       <ul>
+<li>           <p>The user does something that may cause considerable harm
+immediately or later. For example, the user gives a wrong PIN code. Repeating
+this couple of times would block the SIM card.</p>         </li>
+</ul>       <p>To keep error notes effective, they should be used very sparingly.
+In most ordinary error cases, an <xref href="GUID-E449F309-F230-46F9-B777-EF64D0E3191D.dita">information
+note</xref> should be used instead of an error note. It has a less aggressive
+sound and graphics.</p>       <p>It should also be noted that if the information
+to be given is such that the user must see and acknowledge it, a confirmation
+query is a better component to use than a note. Then the user must press a
+key to dismiss the information, and there is time to read and think about
+the notification.</p>           </section>
+<section id="GUID-247815E4-E5BD-456A-9AD0-C3B856C5E274"><title>Using
+error notes in C++ applications</title><p>You can create either a basic error
+note that is displayed only when your application is in the foreground or
+a global note that stays displayed even if the application launching the note
+is not in the foreground. The related APIs are the Notes
+API (for basic notes) and the Notifiers
+API (for global notes). </p><p>To use an error note with the default
+icon, text, sound, and duration, create an instance of the note class <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknErrorNote.html" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknErrorNote</codeph></xref>.</p><p>To

+API. For implementation information, see Using
+global notes and Using
+global notes with user interaction.</p><p>For basic notes, you can
