Sound Devices 722 field question

Subject: Sound Devices 722 field question
From: Wild Sanctuary <>
Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2006 09:18:54 -0800
Recommended operational temperature range is 5 - 55C (41 - 141F). Has
anyone had problems operating in HD mode at or below the 5C (41F)
thermal limit? If so, what about using the 722 in CF mode, only?
