input. If the signal level is lower than the set sensi­tivity level (Settings→Sensitivity→Sensitivity level),
the recording stops (the red LED does not blink). If
the signal level is higher than the set sensitivity level,
the recording starts (the red LED starts blinking).

Settings

Setting of the recorder’s parameters is made with
the NOVO PC SUIT MAG software. The software
