The PEL will not turn OFF as long as it is connected to a power supply source and if a recording is ON.

the PEL turns on when the power supply is turned back on after an outage.

Press the ON/OFF button for more than 2 seconds until all LEDs turn on. Then release the ON/OFF button.

If the PEL has supply power present it will not turn OFF.

If a recording is pending or in progress it will not turn OFF.
NOTE:
Pressing the ON/OFF button when the instrument is powered and/or recording (or pending) does not stop
the instrument. This is done to avoid any accidental or unintentional recording stoppage by the user. You must first
unplug the power cord from the supply outlet, stop any recording session, power down by pushing the ON/OFF
button for more than 2 seconds until all LEDs light up and then release the ON/OFF button.
