That's why we have specifications for everything.  Included in the spec will 
be operating and storage conditions, including temperature and humidity, 
there will also be dust and water ingression specifications, which will 
specify under exactly what conditions the device can be operated.  If it's 
operating outside the spec, the maker does not guarantee it will work.  If 
it's within the specified conditions and it fails, you ask for your money 
back.
