Look, the firmware does its own independent checking, so if you throw 65 minutes to it it’s just going to round it to 60 minutes because it has no way of representing 65 minutes; and if your throw 120 minutes to it it will convert it to 2 hours. It always does its best to represent whatever value you pass in. I agree with you that the firmware functionality should not be dependent on the UI to do error checking for it.

What I meant is that if the firmware cannot represent 65 minutes, why letting the UI leave this as an option? I think it’s not ideal for users to set 65 only to find out it’s rounded to 60. So what I am saying is that if the UI can do it, why not?
