in an area in which acceptable temperature ranges are experienced.
As part of installation best practices, it is recommended to mount the device in the vehicle cabin
area where there is environmental control (i.e. heating and/or air-conditioning). This will extend the
device operating life by not exposing it unnecessarily to adverse environmental conditions.
