What is the storage temperature range for the device?

• A. -40 degrees F to 120 degrees F
• B. -22 degrees F to 140 degrees F
• C. -4 degrees F to 104 degrees F
• D. 0 to 100 degrees F

Answer: (B)

Storage temperature range is the span of temperatures in which a device can be kept without damage when it is not powered. This range accounts for environmental extremes that can affect seals, materials, and battery health during storage. The device is specified to be stored from -22°F to 140°F, the broadest safe window among the options, which protects against both freezing and excessive heat that could cause condensation, material stress, or battery degradation. Narrower ranges leave storage environments more vulnerable to conditions that could harm the device, whereas this wider range provides robust protection for long-term storage. Note that storage range differs from operating range, which concerns performance while the device is in use.
