Voice Mode: Press the “🎙️” button for ~0.5 seconds until the Blue LEDs start to pulse. The recording will end automatically after 60 minutes, or you can stop it earlier by pressing and holding the “🎙️” button again
Vitals Mode: Press the “🩺” button for ~0.5 seconds until the Green LED flashes. The recording will end automatically after 30 seconds, or you can stop it earlier by pressing and holding the “🩺” button again
Your NxSCOPE now functions like a remote control. One button per mode. Simple.
