When inactive, the FC-11 is programmed to dim and later turn off the display to conserve energy.
Tap anywhere on the screen or press the button to show the display. The DIM TIME and OFF TIME

date and time with the SET TIME/DATE command in the SETTINGS menu. Make sure the current date
and time are entered before resuming any logging operation. Note: If the IP address is entered
