Cooldown Flashing
Blink temperature on idle screen while tip is hot (>50°C). Help text: “Flash temp reading at idle while tip is hot”Scrolling Speed
Speed of description text scrolling in menus. Options: S (slow) or F (fast) Help text: “Scrolling speed of info text (S=slow | F=fast)”Faster speeds may cause tearing but allow reading descriptions quicker.
Swap +/- Keys
Reverses which button increases/decreases temperature. Help text: “Reverse assignment of buttons for temperature adjustment”Swap A/B Keys
Reverses button functions in settings menu. Help text: “Reverse assignment of buttons for Settings menu”Anim. Speed
Speed of menu icon animations. Options: Off, S (slow), M (medium), F (fast) Help text: “Pace of icon animations in menu (S=slow | M=medium | F=fast)“Anim. Loop
