The customers were instructed to include this letter in their BEAMVIEW TI System Owner Manual chapter "Safety Advisory Letters" where it should remain. Siemens has developed an updated kit to install an additional grounding cable on the camera's central control unit to eliminate the problem. The updated kit was delivered with the Customer Information letter.
