Chinese term or phrase: 運轉三分鐘後OFF
The last one, I hope. Taken from the same table, for "fan" status this time. UV change 按下, the fan is 運轉三分鐘後OFF.

Under UV change, the fan will be turned off after 3 minutes chime?

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Thank you

To answer your question, '鐘' can be 'bell' as one word, but in this context, it's the second character of the word '分鐘' (minute).

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hello, thanks for answering. I'm just wondering, there's a 鐘 in the sentence. I'm not sure where it fits. The fan will turn off after running for 3 minutes, and the bell went off?

Dear Anisek,
This is a Chinese expression. Sometimes it is hard to tell Chinese from Japanese depending on the document. Unfortunately, your material seems contained some Chinese.
Best,
