Update the Recorder's Firmware

We regularly publish new firmware versions that improve the functionality of the Song Meter Mini Bat 2. If your recorder is running an outdated version of the firmware, the Status Screen in the Song Meter Configurator app will display a message alerting you to the new version. We recommend making sure your recorder is on the latest firmware at the start of each deployment.

Updating the firmware requires downloading the latest firmware file from our Downloads page at https://www.wildlifeacoustics.com/account/downloads/song-meter-mini-family. The file must be saved to an SD card. A single SD card can be used to update multiple recorders.

Once the firmware is updated, it is not necessary to keep the firmware file on an SD card installed in the recorder.
