If you live in a perpetually warm and humid environment, you can also store the 
unit in a sealed bag with some silica gel.  There's probably a silica gel packet 
in the box the unit came in.  You can also buy silica gel packets in different 
sizes - though they can be hard to find.  Commercial packets have additives that 
indicated by colour the degree of saturation - once saturated, heat to dry and 
re-use.  I've found huge differences in prices from one place to another.  A 
local shop sells Peli silica gel containers for Pelican boxes at twice the price 
of the identical looking item from Lee Valley Tools.
