Notes on LCD Operation:
•
The LCD will turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity. Press
any button to turn the LCD back on.
•
There can be a delay before the LCD updates. For
example, if you plug in an AC adapter, it may take a few
seconds before the lightning bolt icon appears on the
LCD. This delay is by design to preserve battery life.
