Check the Song Meter Mini Bat 2's Status over Bluetooth

About this task

By default, the Song Meter Mini Bat 2 broadcasts status beacons over Bluetooth once every ten seconds. When your mobile device is within Bluetooth range (typically under ten to twenty meters) of the Song Meter Mini Bat 2, it will receive these status beacons, and you can check this status using the Song Meter Configurator app without pairing with the recorder. Status beacons include information like SD card usage, battery voltage, and installed firmware version.

In order to receive status updates when not paired with the recorder, Send Bluetooth Beacons? must be enabled (see Send Bluetooth Beacons?).

Procedure

  1. Open the Song Meter Configurator app.
  2. Navigate to the Recorders screen.
  3. Bring your mobile device to within 10-20 meters of the Song Meter Mini Bat 2.

    When you are within Bluetooth range of a recorder that is broadcasting status beacons, the Received text should read Just now.

  4. Tap the Status icon to the right of the recorder's name.

    The Status screen for the recorder opens. See Status Screen for a description of all information available on this screen.

  5. To close the Status screen, tap the < Back icon.
