HOW TO DOWNLOAD FROM AN SD CARD
Once you have recorded the files onto the SD card, you can simply transfer the files from the
SD card onto your computer or an external memory source. These files can be opened with
or other sound analysis software packages.

To begin, remove the SD card from the recorder after shutting it down or pressing the
on screen eject button. Failure to follow this procedure could result in data loss or
corruption.
2.
Insert the SD card into your computer (if it has a SD card slot) or into an external SD
card reader (available from Titley Scientific).

Open the SD card folder in Windows Explorer.
4.
Copy/cut the files from the SD card folder into the desired folder/storage device. Make
sure to include the log file with the recording files. Files will be arranged on the card
in folders as follows:
-
Acoustic: This folder contains the acoustic sound recordings.
