 This is a note to dealers & installers: **Do not install test versions on a customer's installation**.
-These versions are called //test versions//, or //release-candidates// for a reason, and must not imposed on customers who naturally expect their system to be stable.
+These versions are called //beta versions//, //test versions//, or //release-candidates// for a reason, and must not imposed on customers who expect and need their system to be stable.
+Also, don't contact Victron dealers, installers, support, or sales managers or anyone else in case you see problems while running a beta version. The only channel for issues in such case is the relevant open Venus OS post on the Modifications section on Community.
 ==== Where should I post possible bug reports? ====
 If you think you have found a bug, first of all install the latest official release again (a version without the ~ notation) to check that if that solves it. Sometimes you can go back by using the Backup firmware option. If that also contains a beta version, then you’ll need to install the official version by hand. Download the .swu file from https://professional.victronenergy.com and then follow the manual install procedure; using a usb stick or as card.
