Why does my DBI 3 shows ”slow” in low speeds

The minimum speed to give a direction is 1 knot.
1 knot is 1,852 km/h.
We dont measure lower speeds because values below 1 knot are very unprecise.
We recommend to walk very slowly with your DBI3 for better understanding

This is what shows in 2km per hour: Speed and direction

This is what it shows in 1 km per hour: Speed but no direction
