## Environment

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:**A warning is displayed if the device was stored in a cold environment and requires extra time to reach operating temperature.
> 
> In temperatures above 35 °C, scanning time might be limited to prevent the device from overheating. A warning is displayed if the device gets too hot. In this case, end your scanning, turn off the device, and let it cool down in a cool environment before you start a new scan.
> 
> The NavVis VLX guarantees constant data quality over a wide temperature range.
