functions.
Note
: The 1.2V NiMh rechargeable battery for the backlight is not fully charged when shipped. For
maximum efficiency it is recommended to charge the battery fully (place battery into display and
display unit outside on a sunny day) before first use. Alternatively, the rechargeable battery can be
charged with a NiMh battery charger.

All LCD segments will light up for a few seconds.

the section on Daylight Saving Time later in this manual.
