A controller, when turning the display wheel in the first direction, executes a first rotation process of turning the display wheel in the first direction and then stopping rotation of the display wheel; and when turning the display wheel in the second direction, executes a second rotation process of turning the display wheel in the second direction, then turning the display wheel in the first direction, and then stopping rotation of the display wheel.
