hey y'all just trying to figure out how many hours my ampro has on it the read out is

107:18:34

I find it REALLY hard to believe that that means 107 hours, but...is it? I thought the last numbers were minutes but then I couldn't figure out the first number unless it's days which would be 2586 hours and 34 minutes which seems a whole lot more plausible.

Am I doing something wrong?

Well let's check it four hours later and you'll see if the first digit is day or hour Smile
