Basic Operation
Typical operation of the recorder is represented in the following steps:
1. Configure the following key requirements of any deployment with your
specific recording goals in mind:
a. Power : Insert batteries or connect another power source.
b. Memory : Insert and format memory cards.
c. Location : Identify an appropriate recording location and establish
mounting requirements for the duration of the deployment.
TIP : Use the SM3 Configurator software to estimate memory card requirements and
power consumption for the program that you plan to run.
2. Load a program on the recorder. You can choose:
■
a built-in program already on the recorder
■ a program you edit on the recorder
■ a custom program that you design using the SM3 Configurator
software and then import to the recorder on a memory card.
3. Mount and secure the recorder.
4. Press the PROGRAM START button. You can leave the recorder unattended
after this step.
5. The recorder sleeps until the next scheduled recording time.
6. The recorder wakes at the scheduled recording start time, records audio as
programmed, and saves recordings on one or more memory cards.
7. After a period of time has elapsed (it might be several days, weeks, or even
months), return and check on each recorder. To extend a deployment,
exchange memory cards and install fresh batteries out in the field.
8. At the end of the deployment, remove the device from its mounted location,
eject all memory cards, and examine the recorded output.
9. Clean, re-program, and prepare the recorder for its next assignment.
