Cold-weather Operation

Use caution when operating the instrument in temperatures below -20 °C (-4 °F), which can diminish display-screen
legibility. To help support functionality and available battery power, the following practices are recommended.
•
Do not operate the instrument in temperatures that are not within the temperature ranges of the installed sensors
(see "Sensor specifications").
•
Use a compatible, fully charged lithium-ion battery.
•
Before using the instrument in the cold-weather environment, power it on a warm-up environment (approximately
20 °C [68 °F]).
•
Alternately operate the instrument in the cold-weather and warm-up environments.
•
Do not operate the instrument unmanned.
