Line 1:

In [[telecommunication|telecommunications]], a '''self-synchronizing code''' is a [[code]] in which the symbol stream formed by a portion of one [[code word]], or by the overlapped portion of any two adjacent code words, is not a valid code word.

<i>Note 1:</i> A self-[[synchronizing]] code permits the proper [[framing]] of transmitted code words provided that no uncorrected errors occur in the symbol stream.

<i>Note 2:</i> External [[synchronization]] is not required.

<i>Note 3:</i> [[High-level data link control]] (HDLC) and [[Advanced Data Communication Control Procedures]] (ADCCP) frames represent self-synchronizing code words.
