Contamination or dirt on the water contact may prevent this automatic activation.
Therefore, it is important that the water contact is kept clean. The contact can be
cleaned with fresh water and a soft brush, for example a tooth brush.

Water or moisture build-up around the water contact may cause
the contact to activate automatically. This can happen, for ex-
ample, when washing your hands or sweating. If the water contact
activates in the TIME mode, the AC symbol will appear on the
display, and will be shown until the water contact deactivates. To
save battery power, you should deactivate the water contact by
cleaning it and/or drying it with a soft towel.
