Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors  
such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold  
may temporarily reduce the effective range between the  
sensor and the base station. If the unit’s performance  
fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper  
functioning as the temperature rises to within the  
normal temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage  
will occur to the unit due to low temperatures).
