BATCORDER

Using the Mini-batcorder

The Mini-batcorder is designed as an passive detector for automated record-

ing of bat calls. It features the same technologies as the regular batcorder in

a small and simple to use design. It was developed as high quality bat call

recorder for NGOs at an affordable price.

The Mini-batcorder features a minimalistic interface with only two buttons and

some status LEDs. All settings are changed using free software available for

Mac and Windows (

)

The LEDs are used to indicate success as well as errors when using the

Mini-batcorder.

Recordings are stored on an internal micro SD card and are downloaded via

USB. The internal battery is also charged using USB.

The microphone is identical to the batcorder microphone and possesses a

high recording quality. It is situated at the top of the microphone extension.

Please make sure not to touch that area to avoid damage. The connector has

a red dot which needs to be aligned with the red mark on the case. When

connected, the plug is ﬁxed automatically. For removing the microphone you

only need to pull again.

Please do not twist the microphone extender when attaching or

removing, that may damage your device.

The built-in GPS chip is primarily used to update the clock of the Mini-bat-

corder. For saving power it is not designed to log transects or get coordinates

for each recording. If necessary, our software bcadmin for example can ge-

olocate recordings using the recording timestamp and GPS tracks written for

example by your smartphone.

While the Mini-batcorder was not designed to be left out running in any

weather - for this the normal batcorder 3 is much better suited - it is designed

to easily survive normal rain showers. Please make sure the rubber lid is

foxed on the USB connector. Otherwise this will be an entry point for water.
