- Elitech UK: www.elitecheu.com/pages/software
- Elitech BR: www.elitechbrasil.com.br

Recorder Status Indicators:

2. Recorder starts recording:
Press and hold the button on the recorder for 5 seconds. The screen will display ▶️, indicating that the recorder has started data logging. If the icon blinks with a countdown, it signifies a delayed start; recording will commence automatically after the countdown.
