the backlight with any button press if the backlight is in automatic mode.
To unlock everything, keep the lower right button pressed again.
When you are not recording an exercise, the screen locks and dims after one minute of
inactivity. To activate the screen, press any button.
The screen also goes to sleep (blank) after a period of inactivity. Any movement turns the
