As a result of several recent orders for Criterions with the 5 foot (1.5 m) minimum range option, our Production department has experienced difficulty in consistently achieving this specification. At this time, we are asking our distribution network to inform clients who would like to order this option that it is temporarily unavailable. I will keep you up-to-date on our progress as we work to get the problem resolved, and apologize for any inconvenience it causes you or your customers. Just a reminder that on our main Criterion brochure, the standard minimum range is listed as 20 feet (6 m); when in fact we consistently deliver 10 feet (3 m), + 15%. If a customer inquires about the reduced minimum range option, please make sure they are aware of this misprint. Chances are that what we can deliver will satisfy their requirements. Thank you, as always, for your continued interest in our products.
