Well, I just tried it as well with my 505, 600 & 700. I layed them out on the patio table in direct bright strong south florida sunlight for 10 minutes. Because of the metal, all 3 readers were so hot that I burnt the tip of my finger when I went to pick them up. However, the text looked fine and the only thing that was making it hard to read is that it was too bright to be outside without sunglasses. I was going to try for 15 minutes, but the units were so hot I was worried about hurting any interior components.
