Segments in KX3 display

Hi,

I have a KX3 and when applying power (turning it on) some segments in the display light up before the entire display becomes active. They are there for about 1 second, but on another KX3 I have there is no such issue?

Robin,

The LCD controller's internal segment memory is scrambled at power-on. Most of them reset quickly to all segments cleared, but a certain percentage still remain scrambled until the firmware has completed the power-up process.

This has no effect on operation and is not an indication of a problem.

I thought they were more excited to do radio.

As long as they work normally once the radio has finished turning on, there is nothing to worry about.
