+      Receive and log telemetry from a connected TeleDongle
+      device. All data received is saved to log files named with the
+      current date and the connected rocket serial and flight
+      numbers. There is no mode in which telemetry data will not be
+      saved.
+    </listitem>
+    <listitem>
+      Download logged data from TeleMetrum devices, either through a
+      direct USB connection or over the air through a TeleDongle
+      device.
+    </listitem>
+    <listitem>
+      Configure a TeleMetrum device, setting the radio channel,
+      callsign, apogee delay and main deploy height. This can be done
+      through either a USB connection or over a radio link via a
+      TeleDongle device.
+    </listitem>
+    <listitem>
+      Replay a flight in real-time. This takes a saved telemetry log
+      or eeprom download and replays it through the user interface so
+      you can relive your favorite rocket flights.
+    </listitem>
+    <listitem>
+      Reprogram Altus Metrum devices. Using an Altus Metrum device
+      connected via USB, another Altus Metrum device can be
+      reprogrammed using the supplied programming cable between the
+      two devices.
+    </listitem>
+    <listitem>
+      Export Flight data to a comma-separated-values file. This takes
+      either telemetry or on-board flight data and generates data
+      suitable for use in external applications. All data is exported
+      using standard units so that no device-specific knowledge is
+      needed to handle the data.
+    </listitem>
+    <listitem>
+      Speak to you during the flight. Instead of spending the flight
+      hunched over your laptop looking at the screen, enjoy the view
+      while the computer tells you what’s going on up there. During
+      ascent, you hear the current flight state and altitude
+      information. During descent, you get azimuth, elevation and
+      range information to try and help you find your rocket in the
+      air. Once on the ground, the direction and distance are
+      reported.
