Send Bluetooth Beacons?

Note:

Send Bluetooth Beacons? can only be configured directly on a paired recorder, not via a configuration file. See Configure a Paired Recorder Directly.

Options: On or Off.
Default: On.

By default, a recorder that is powered on will send continuous Bluetooth beacons so the Song Meter Configurator app can detect the recorder and receive its current status.

If Send Bluetooth Beacons? is disabled, the Song Meter Configurator app will not automatically detect the recorder, and its current status will not be automatically updated. The recorder must then be manually paired with the Song Meter Configurator app in order for the current status to be updated in the app.

Disabling Send Bluetooth Beacons? will not affect the recording functions of the Song Meter Micro 2 recorder.

Tip:

In most cases, we recommend keeping this setting enabled. Enabling Bluetooth beacons has no significant effect on the Song Meter Micro 2's battery life. Bluetooth beacons allow you to check the recorder's status when you are unable to access it directly, and they can help you locate a recorder after a long deployment.
