including:

Storage temperature range of your MapSight: Your MapSight can be stored at temperatures
between -22° F and 140° F (-30° C to 60° C).
Where possible, store your MapSight indoors out of direct sunlight, in a cool/non-humid location
and away from electric/magnetic materials. Doing so helps protect your device from extreme
temperature changes and helps your device run efficiently at start up.
Storing your MapSight for less than two weeks: If you plan
to store your device for less than two weeks, suspend the
device by following these steps:
1. As a precaution, back up your data onto a desktop
computer or an external storage device such as a SD
card. (See Using the Hardware for more instructions on
backing up your data.)
2. Leave the battery pack in the device.
3. If you plan to store the device longer than a few days, it is a
good idea to leave the device connected to the wall
charger or to make sure the battery pack is fully charged.
4. Suspend the device.
