6. How to start a Recording:
• If no recording was performed or if the recording data was already downloaded to a
PC, pressing and keeping the START/STOP key for 3 seconds. The STATUS LED
will be lighting for the same time, than will be stable lighting for 1 second and the
meter will start the recording.
• If the recording data was not already downloaded to a PC but the operator wants
to overwrite these data, pressing and keeping the START/STOP key for 6
seconds. The STATUS LED will be quickly blinking during the key pressing for the
same time, than the LED will be stable lighting for 1 second and the instrument will
start the recording. The old recording will be deleted and overwritten by the new
one. The meter will wait for the next minute beginning (second=00) and the STATUS
LED is double blinking. After that the recording starts and the STATUS LED blinks
every 3 seconds. The instrument is storing the data.
