Years ago I had seen LCD’s that turn black when left out in the sun. Does the 700/701 hour meter need to be shielded from the full sun?

The LCD’s which turned black in the sun were not able to withstand a high ambient temperature. The LCD for the 700/701 hour meter is designed to operate up to 85° C (185° F). The hour meter can operate in full sun without requiring a shield.
