Page 7: Introduction
2.2. CHANGES FROM THE SONG METER MINI TO THE SONG METER MINI 2 The Song Meter Mini 2 builds on the first-generation Song Meter Mini by taking into account the feedback we have received from users in all types of scenarios since the original product's launch in 2019.
Page 8 While the first-generation Song Meter Mini's enclosure was comprised of a separate base and lid, the enclosure of the Song Meter Mini 2 is joined by a permanent hinge, and the new, lockable latch can be more easily operated with one hand. The latch can be locked close using an appropriately sized padlock, without requiring an additional security bracket.
Page 9 Note that installed acoustic stub mics can be damaged by underwater submersion, though they are protected against rain. The back of the Song Meter Mini 2 features a tripod- style, ¼”-20 threaded mounting point. This enables you to mount the recorder using many accessories designed for trail cameras and similar devices.
Page 10 Song Meter Mini. AA Batteries The Song Meter Mini 2 AA can be used with either four or eight AA batteries. With eight AA batteries installed, you can record for twice as long as the original Song Meter Mini could with AA batteries.
Page 11 Lithium-Ion Batteries The Song Meter Mini 2 Li-ion can be used with any number of 18650 batteries between one and six. Unlike the first-generation Song Meter Mini's Lithium-Ion Lid accessory, 18650 batteries do not need to be installed in...
Page 12 2.2.3. Configuration and Firmware Files are Cross-Compatible The Song Meter Mini and Song Meter Mini 2 run the same firmware versions, meaning both will be improved by the same new features and bug fixes as we release firmware updates.
Page 13: Battery Configuration Versions
VERSIONS The Song Meter Mini 2 can be purchased with one of two options for battery power: • The Song Meter Mini 2 AA can run on either four or eight AA batteries. Alkaline, NiMH, and Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ batteries can be used. All installed batteries must...
Page 14 See Types of AA Batteries (page 187) for more information. • The Song Meter Mini 2 Li-ion can run on between one and six 18650 Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. See Lithium-Ion Battery Requirements (page 188) details on choosing compatible batteries.
Page 15: Useful Resources
Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide IMPORTANT Lithium-ion batteries are not to be confused with Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ (Lithium/Iron Disulfide) batteries. 18650 Lithium-ion batteries are larger and put out a much higher voltage than all types of AA batteries. 18650 Lithium- ion batteries therefore cannot be used interchangeably with any AA battery.

Page 134: Understanding Schedules
About Wildlife Acoustics Inc. Displays a short info page about us. 4.6. UNDERSTANDING SCHEDULES Writing a custom schedule for the Song Meter Mini 2 can appear to be a daunting task. The scheduling system is very flexible, and while that provides great benefits...
Page 135 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide 4.6.1. Schedules and Schedule Blocks A schedule for the Song Meter Mini 2 can be made up of up to ten schedule blocks. If a schedule block were just a single recording period, having only ten would be severely limiting.
Page 136 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide Example: Record 5 minutes every hour For accessibility and ease of reading on multiple screen sizes, further examples will only present schedules as plain text. The text below mimics the commands shown in the screenshot above.
Page 137 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide END TIME: Time 00:00 With 5 simple commands, this one schedule block has told the Song Meter Mini 2 to record 5 minutes at the start of each hour. Let's break down how each command works.
Page 138 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide continues until it reaches the END TIME. This is the case even when the START TIME and END TIME share the same value, as they do here. The schedule block will begin every time it reaches 00:00 (12:00 AM, for those of us on the 12-hour clock) and it will do whatever you tell it to do until it reaches the next 00:00.
Page 139 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide NOTE When you start your deployment for the first time, the Song Meter Mini 2 will pick up in the middle of any schedule block that should be occurring at that time. The recorder does not need to wait for the next occurrance of the START TIME when it turns on.
Page 140 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide Returning to our "Record 5 minutes every hour" example, the DUTY CYCLE section of the schedule block is: DUTY CYCLE: Cycle Duty On: 00:05 Duty Off: 00:55 At the START TIME, the recorder begins at the Duty On phase by recording for 5 minutes.
Page 141 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide This means that, if your goal is to record the dawn chorus each day, the Song Meter Mini 2 can time its recording period to follow sunrise as it shifts earlier and later in the day over the span of weeks and months.
Page 142 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide START TIME: Set - 01:30 Set means the START TIME is defined relative to the time of sunset on a given day. The negative sign, -, means the block starts earlier than sunset, and the offset, 01:30, means it starts 1 hour and 30 minutes prior to sunset.
Page 143 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide 4.6.3. Schedules with Multiple Blocks We have seen that a single schedule block provides quite a bit of flexibility. Its start and end times can dynamically adjust to follow sunrise and sunset times, and the DUTY CYCLE feature can create patterns of alternating on/off cycles.
Page 144 For example, if block 1 includes a recording period from 13:45 to 14:15, and block 2 includes a recording period from 14:00 to 15:00, the Song Meter Mini 2 will treat the time from 13:45 to 15:00 as one single recording period,...
Page 145 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide The rules for what occurs when multiple recording periods overlap, described in Schedules with Multiple Blocks (page 143), still apply. Enable Date Range and Day Duty Cycle To enable these features for any schedule block, tap the Add Date Range icon at the top of the schedule block.
Page 146 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide beginning of the START DATE, and it will stop running at midnight at the end of the END DATE. If the END DATE is set to the same date as the START DATE, or if it is set to one day before the START DATE, the schedule block will run year-round.
Page 147 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide Active days and inactive days always occur as consecutive blocks. For example, if Duty On is set to 3 days and Duty Off is set to 5 days, the schedule block will run for 3 days in a row, then it will skip 5 days in a row, then it will run for 3 days in a row, and so on.
Page 148 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide START TIME: Time 00:00 DUTY CYCLE: Always END TIME: Time 00:00 Whenever the start and end times are identical and the DUTY CYCLE is set to Always, the schedule will record continuously. Record Continuously for Part of Each Day...
Page 149 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide START TIME: Set + 00:00 DUTY CYCLE: Always END TIME: Rise + 00:00 Record in Multiple Blocks Relative to Sunset and Sunrise The following schedule uses two blocks. The first block defines a period relative to sunrise and the second block defines a period relative to sunset.

However, in near-freezing or below-freezing temperatures, Lithium/Iron Disulfide batteries maintain their performance significantly better than alkaline batteries.
Page 189 Song Meter Mini 2 User Guide Protected batteries (or protected cells) are assembled with circuitry that prevents the battery from being over-charged or over-discharged. DANGER Unprotected lithium-ion cells lack protective circuitry, and they are at greater risk of suffering permanent damage or even igniting.
