Initial Setup AudioMoth

Step 1: Get Batteries and SD Card

To use your AudioMoth, you first need to acquire the appropriate batteries and SD card for your deployment. Cards of 32GB or less are usually supplied formatted with the MS-DOS (FAT32) system. Cards over 32GB are typically supplied formatted with the exFAT system.

Step 2: Insert Batteries and SD Card

After acquiring the appropriate batteries and SD card, set your AudioMoth to the CUSTOM position and insert them into your device.

Step 3: Set the Switch to USB Mode

Set the switch on the side of the device to USB/OFF.

Step 4: Configure with Your Platform's Configuration App

Download the configuration app for your desired platform from the applications page. Once installed, configure the device following the steps in the configuration app usage guide.

Step 5: Deploy the Device

With the AudioMoth configured and the switch in the CUSTOM position, you can now deploy it.

If the batteries are removed, you can use the AudioMoth smartphone app to set the time without a laptop.

While waiting for a recording period, the green LED will blink. While recording, the red LED will blink.

Additional Feature: Record On-the-Go

With the switch set to DEFAULT, AudioMoth will start recording immediately outside the configured recording schedule, either with the default settings or with the previously established configuration. AudioMoth will record a single continuous WAV file in DEFAULT.

The default setting is 48kHz and medium gain.
