Re: HP-41 Cold Shock Message #2 Posted by Garth Wilson on 7 Mar 2006, 3:35 p.m., in response to message #1 by Geir Isene
My 41cx manual says the minimum operation and storage temperature is 0 deg C. Then it goes on to say that if the batteries are removed, or if clock accuracy is not a concern, then the storage temperature can go down to -20 deg C. I can't think of anything in there that should experience any damage until you get down at least to -20, and then maybe you could damage the LCD. I did test a wide-temperature-range LCD here for my work a few years ago, and although they said anything below -40 could damage it (from freezing the liquid), I took it down to -55, even while operating. Although it was not readable down there, it was fine when brought back up to normal temperature.
