3 Preparation
3.1 Battery charging
Upon delivery the battery of the BATLOGGER may not be fully charged. Please charge the battery before first use.
1. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the BATLOGGER's power supply connector.
2. Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet.
3. Charging begins when the charging indicator lights red or, for BATLOGGER M, “charging...” is displayed.
4. Charging is complete when the charging indicator turns green or, for BATLOGGER M, “charged” is
displayed. The charging time can take several hours, depending on the state of charge.
Note: The BATLOGGER can also be operated with the AC adapter connected to e.g. extend the operation time.
3.2 Accessories
3.2.1 SD card
•
For data storage a removable SD/SDHC card is used. Tested memory card
size is 32 MB to 32 GB. When the term “SD card” is used, always an
SD/SDHC card is meant. The card must be formatted as FAT32.
•
The SD card must be inserted into the memory card slot until it clicks into
place before turning on the BATLOGGER. To remove the SD card, turn off
the BATLOGGER and press the SD card in gently. The SD card pops out
and can be removed.
•
SD cards may have a write protect switch that prevents wrinting to the cards
when the switch is on LOCK.
•
A recent version of BATPARS Editor software (Windows and Mac) is stored on the included SD card. The
executable file is in directory Software/BATPARS and can be started from there directly. Installation is not
required.
•
A recent version of BatExplorer PC software is stored on the included SD card. It must be installed on the
computer before first use. It can be found in the directory Software/BatExplorer.
3.2.2 Ultrasound microphone
As ultrasonic sensor a pluggable active electret microphone is used. The microphone must be
plugged into the corresponding microphone jack on top of the device before use. Please make
sure the microphone is plugged in completely until dead stop to ensure maximum contact.
If the microphone is damaged, it can be replaced with a new, functional replacement
microphone (Part # 212.215).
3.2.3 Microphone extension (optional)
For special recordings a commercially available, shielded audio cable (stereo) up to about 2m
length may be inserted between BATLOGGER and microphone (Microphone extension Part #
212.004).
3.2.4 Headphones (optional)
To listen to recordings a standard headphone with 3.5mm plug is used (Part # 212.012). Plug
your headphone into the headphone jack and adjust the volume to a comfortable level in the
Setup menu (see also below).
