then resets 1.5 seconds after it is released.
Advanced users: After you release the or
v switch,
the rate of change is indicated by a flashing digit.
The place of the flashing digit advances from second
to third as the switch is held longer. While a digit is
flashing, press the phase shift switches < or > to
move the place of the flashing digit higher or lower.
Then press or
v switch to change the flash rate by
that amount.

press ÷2 again. If a single image appears again, press x2 for true rpm.
If true rpm cannot be confirmed repeat steps four and five.
