IIRC, you don't. This has been a source of confusion. To display the
countdown, hold the Check (√) game key before powering on the laptop,
then release the game key when requested.


As the game keys are not treated the same way as keyboard keys (?),
you shouldn't encounter the EC bug you describe.
