How to check turning function on unidentified incubator?

Just bought this incubator yesterday from an older gentleman on Craigslist for 20 bucks (he decided to become a vegan and no longer needed it.)
We just got rid of my rooster, so I'm hoping to hatch some eggs before they stop being fertile.

Everything seems to be working fine except I can't figure out if the Turner is working. I can't find any indication that it is and I don't know if I have to wait 90 minutes from plugging it in for it to start turning.

I've been clicking around and can't find P2 or three or whatever it's talking about

I had a disaster hatch with that things brother, it seemed to be working but hatched 3/20 quail, 50% day 3-5 death loss, another couple late embryonic deaths and failure to hatch and another died in the brooder 12 hours post hatch. It maintained heat fine but the turner was a joke. If you don’t mind hand turning it is a nice little incubator.

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll keep a close eye on it and see how well it turns. Just checked it, seems like I was right that it would turn after 90 minutes, didn't realize it actually was at first because it was turning very slowly. Never used an automatic incubator so I wasn't sure how fast it was supposed to be.

Do you think the speed it turns at affected the hatch rate?

I have my incubator on auto turn. I put an A and B on the eggs and check on the eggs to see if the A and B have changed
