 Hi, Folks,

 On the first handmade B1 units, it was discovered that the battery fit was
 too loose in the system due to molding inconsistencies.  To provide a
 temporary workaround for the production line B1 units, a teflon spacer has
 been included to tighten the fit of the battery pack into the system base.
 This spacer eliminates the looseness, but can make insertion of the
 battery pack, and engagement of the battery latches harder than it should
 be.

 Fixes for this problem have already been identified, and will be
 incorporated into the B2 units.
