Without a phone or tablet connected via Bluetooth, the Micro can display very basic information about the state of its SD card and whether it is able to run its recording schedule.

For programming the recorder’s schedule and settings, updating the firmware, or checking the remaining battery life or SD card space, the Song Meter Configurator mobile app is necessary. During the deployment, a phone or tablet can be used to check the status of the Micro from up to 20 meters away.
