The screen when idle#
When the backlight turns off, the screen switches to a plain black-and-white clock you can read in daylight, with a battery symbol and a play or pause mark. Press any button to wake it. After about a minute of that, the screen goes fully dark to save power.
Sliding the Hold switch on locks the buttons.
