KX1 LED Display Issue

[Schindele, William]

On a new build KX1 last night I noticed that when the LED went off as
designed, there was a faint outline of "88" in the first two digits. I
had not noticed this prior, but it was the first time I had used the KX1
in a very dark environment. I could set the LED to three levels as
designed, the shut-off timer worked correctly, and I had fresh batteries
(6 AA cells).

Should I be concerned?

No worries about that.
Ease your mind, that is normal, but only seen when the ambient light is
VERY low.
