•LCDs are temperature sensitive, and may turn black at high temperatures [approx. 40°C (104°F) or above] and become hard to read.

•In cold temperatures [approx. 5°C (41°F) or below], the LCD's response time slows down.

These reactions are typical of LCDs and not cause for concern. In both cases, LCDs will function perfectly again once the temperature returns to normal [20°C (68°F)].
