Maytronics Prowler 920 Weekly Timer

Hi All,
I'm trying to figure out if the Prowler 920 (*Same as Dolphin Active 20/S200) controller maintains its weekly timer past one week of work? It's selected to run its cleaning cycle every 3rd day.
It's a new unit and at a house I only check on every other week or so. I can't seem to tell if it's running every third day as the lights on the controller are off, and the pool is clean, but not sure?
Does this controller only schedule one week at a time, or is it on-going so long as the unit is plugged in?

The weekly timer only runs for 1 week. If you start it on day 1, I believe it will run on days 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (daily), 1,3,5,7 (alternate days), or 1,4,7 (every 3 days), then it will stop. The manual says the weekly timer light blinks between cycles, so if it's not that's because it has gone past 7 days (or wasn't enabled properly!).

I suspect the idea is most people need to empty out the basket at least once a week anyway, which may vary by season. If it can hold 2 weeks of debris, I put my Explorer E30 (also same as S200) in Automation Mode and plugged it into a WiFi outlet -- that lets me use a perpetual program, but of course I have to remember to check and empty it!
