  • Page 4: Notes About Structure And Electric Circuit Design

    Notes about structure and electric circuit design Suggest using non-magnetic screws, when mounting the scanner. Magnetic screws can cause element/mirror neutral position to change. It is recommended to use a thread locking method, such as a Nylok patch. Do not place magnetic material (e.g. dynamic speakers, ringers, vibrators, inductors, metal parts) within 1 inch of the scanner chassis.
