I too was confused by this and took the quotes around =E2=80=98h:mm:ss=E2=
=80=99 and
=E2=80=98h:mm=E2=80=99 to mean that they are strings.  Changing the working=
 to be:

   The value can be set to, respectively, the symbols =E2=80=98h:mm:ss=E2=
=80=99 or =E2=80=98h:mm=E2=80=99,

would clarify the situation.
