Using Your Kestrel DROP

•  As soon as the battery supplies power to the DROP, it begins logging data.  

Battery life will depend on logging rate, amount of time connected to 
Kestrel LiNK app and ambient temperature.  The only way to stop a DROP 
from logging is to remove the battery.

•  The DROP will log at the default of once per hour unless the user changes 

the logging rate with the Kestrel LiNK app.

•  The DROP will continue logging until the memory is full or if “wrap log” is 

enabled, it will log until the battery runs out. 

•  Status Button and LED functions:  status button will promote a DROP to 

the top of the devices list in the LiNK app.  “Beacon Mode” on the app will 
cause the LED to blink.
