Note

Before removing the microSD card or USB cable from the computer, always use the “Safely Remove Hardware” function to prevent memory card issues. Wait for the “Safe to Remove Hardware” message to come up and then remove your external storage device. Pulling a memory card out of its reader or removing an external drive out of the USB port could cause corrupted files, unreadable media or both.

Note

The device needs to be in the main menu to enter PC-Mode. The menu functions are disabled during PC-Mode. To operate the device while charging connected to a computer, use the “Safe to Remove Hardware” function but leave the USB cable connected.

Recordings can be imported into BatExplorer analysis software directly from the microSD card or via USB cable.
