Using Nox in freezing temps?

[oltimer1940]

Just wondering if there are any issues with the LCD screen in sub freezing temps. Don't want to damage my machine by stupidity. Consensus of opinion please.

Per manual operating range 14 degrees F to 122. Storage no lower than 32. A misprint?

Thanks for the response Dan. I haven't been using the machine due to some past experience with LCD screens in low temps. Prefer operations in temps 40 + range, not only for the machine but my poor old body, however the itch is still there. Grinding is finding!

I noticed yesterday my screen was blank for a few seconds during startup then it appeared only low 30’s

I keep the Equinox 800 in the house and have not had a problem with it starting up in 28F temp or using it in 41F salt water for up to 4 hours. Ice did form on the screen area. A dip in the water washed it away. I have used my Excalibur with ice all over the control tube to the point I could not turn it off until I deiced the detector back at the car.

Although I rarely need it in this area of Georgia. I bungee a small hand chemical hand warmer to the detector head. John in Edmonton recommended this. Up his way I imagine he uses a lot of hand warmers. Weird but they are made in Georgia.

Funny thing about hand warmers, and I have used a lot of them they will cause a noticeable amount of interference. whether it is because of high sensitivity or the wireless headphones I didn't take the time to diagnose, probably because I was freezing. It must come from the chemical reaction. Anyone else notice this phenomenon?

No troubles so far for me. I've had mine out in freezing temps and no troubles with operation or the display. Ground was a different story. I do have my own limits in cold weather where the FUN factor leaves.
