Environmental Safety Considerations Avoid locations where it is dusty, humid or may suffer from extreme temperatures. Do not place the product in any area where it may become wet. The suitable ambient operating temperature is between 0 to 40 degrees centigrade. Dramatic changes in temperature may lead to malfunction due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from the solder spots that connect components to the PCB.
