I really don't care about your ego, I'm just trying to figure out how therse devices are getting into TA mode inadvertently.
I already found my TM turned in a pocket of my back pack, of a jacket, my drawer, not many but a few times really, although I'm sure it was turned of before, so for me it means that sometimes the TM can register the triple click weirdly by accident.
Those times my TM turned on because my temp dial was somewhere but on 1 while it was turned off. But if it was "off" dial on 1 ("security" mode) those accidently registered triple clicks would give the 5 short burst of vibration.
So my theory is the TM, turned off and dial on 1 for security, in your bag, could register multiple triple clicks (and gives you the 5 short vibrations each time).
Imagine now for exemple it registers 3 of the 5 triple clicks you need before the next step to enter TA mode, then you take it out of your bag turn it on -> 5 vibrations TM still off -> "fuck, what happened ? Dead battery ?" -> try again -> 5 vibrations again, still off (we have now registered the now famous 5 triple clicks needed to enter TA mode) -> "ah now I remember it's in security mode" -> put temp dial on wherever and triple click again to turn on -> bam, you're in TA mode without knowing why.
It's more likely to happen if you just need to put your temp dial anywhere above 1 on the last step than if you have to "swing" from 1 to 10 as you said so by insisting on that fact I was trying to help to figure out how entering TA mode by accident could be possible.
Does that make sense ?
I was lead to believe that the older units could not be adjusted. I had a unit that I received in December 2019. It only had red LED lights.
They added that feature somewhere in January 2020
I had to send in my unit I also got in December 2019 mid January 2020 and TM told me he just upgraded my unit with a new software that supports calibration.
My LED is always only red though except when I'm in TA mode
