display is showing the maximum sound value,

REC button briefly. This does not begin a new
recording session. It simply extends the
duration of the current session.

REC button until the text REC disappears from
the top line of the display.
OPERATING IN MAX HOLD MODE
You may want to use the meter’s digital
display to show the loudest sound level
measured up to a certain point in time. In this
operating mode—called MAX HOLD mode—
the digital display shows and holds the
loudest sound level received since entering
that mode. The analog bar graph continues to
display measured input levels in real time.
