BatLure
General Description
This stand-alone wave player is used to attract bats for field and research purposes. It will be used to
play all files present on the inserted SD card with a small amount of pause between these files.
The device is able to work for about one long night on fresh batteries. The power amplifier and
speaker are loud enough to attract bats in the neighborhood.
The BatLure is a rugged aluminum device with protection features for its speaker. All parts are secured
to this housing so it is not possible to lose small parts.
The auto-play feature will start playing as soon as electricity comes available on the external power
connector, making it possible to operate the BatLure on a timer. When the BatLure is battery powered
on 8x AA batteries, it will be able to display the status of the batteries.
Its simple user interface makes it very easy to operate, even without reading this manual you will be
able to use the BatLure within a few minutes. All operations like changing the batteries or SD card do
not need tools.
