The S4 has a very useful Auto program ( program 7) that allows you to take starts and finishes and display them on the LCD screen and with a GAZ or D-line display.
The factory default settings will display the time for 5 seconds.
The factory default setting is for 2 timing points whereas we normally only use 1.
Turn to Page 17 of your manual, section 2.6, Set up of the options.
If you want to have to the original default set up of the options, then do the following:
- turn Timer S4 off (switch 17)
- press yellow button (7) down
- press toggle switch (8) upwards (position program+line test)
- turn Timer S4 on (switch 17)
- release yellow button (7) and toggle switch (8)
- choose program with the yellow button (7)
You can set the following options (depending on the program
PST clarification

NOTE FOR S4 timers after 2003
The Default display setting can be as long as 35 seconds with an SLP 5.0
Change back down to 7 seconds by:
1) Turn timer on normally ending in 01 - - - -
2) Press "delay" toggle down 3 times to SLP 5.0
3) Press "red" button until 0.0 appears

Remember that an SLP change here effects all other programs and you might have to deal with that again if the display duration is too short in the other program.
