Notice on differences in screw types

In the second half of 2023, several of the screws on the upgrade kit have been updated from Phillips head screws to Torx head screws.

The following procedures generally assume the screws in the upgrade kit will be of the Torx type, and require a T10 Torx screwdriver.

Depending on purchase kit, the purchased kit may still come with Phillips screws. In this case, a Phillips PH1 screwdriver will be required in every step where it mentions a T10 Torx screwdriver.

Note: The distance meter assembly can be used as-is for the UDX. For UDM and QDX, some remodelling is required.
