FEATURES OF THE ANABAT SCOUT

The Anabat Scout is an affordable, full spectrum bat detector designed specifically for

active bat monitoring.

Some of the key features of the Anabat Scout include:

 Easy to use and robust

 Record in either full spectrum or zero crossing

 Listen in heterodyne, auto-heterodyne & frequency division audio

 In & out bat counter, with automatic time stamping and geotagging

 Built-in GPS for transect mode and geotagging

 Glow in the dark buttons, easy to find and operate at night

 Record voice notes

 Includes a protective carry pouch and lanyard

 Comes with free version of Anabat Insight software

GETTING STARTED

USER INTERFACE

The Anabat Scout has an OLED display and a simple keypad interface.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The Anabat Scout is powered by two user replaceable AA batteries.

Insert the two batteries into the battery holder on the back of the detector. Do not

remove the batteries without turning off the detector first to avoid potential SD card

corruption.

The Low Power Symbol

will appear when the battery voltage is low. The detector

switches itself off when the voltage drops below a usable level (1.9V). If the low battery

symbol appears should change the batteries as soon as possible to avoid the detector

shutting down unexpectedly. All AA batteries must be removed from the battery holder

when they are not in use; otherwise the batteries will slowly discharge and may leak,

damaging the detector.

AA batteries can be Alkaline, NiMh rechargeable, or Lithium (1.5V). Make sure all batteries

are fresh and of the same type. Battery life will depend on the condition and type of

batteries being used, as well as ambient temperature, audio volume setting, and amount

of bat activity & ambient noise. Two alkaline AA batteries typically

last for 10-20 hours of

recording of full spectrum recording. However, in practice recording conditions can vary,

so be conservative when using battery life estimates and carry spare batteries.

There is also an internal clock battery which should only need replacing about every 5-10

years, the detector will need to be sent to your local distributor for servicing to replace this

battery. The detector will warn you when this battery is due for replacing.

SD CARDS

The Anabat Scout uses one SD card for data storage. Memory cards can be purchased

from Titley Scientific, or most electronics/office stores. Titley Scientific recommends the

Sandisk® brand of SD cards due to their performance and low power consumption.

To check the status of an SD card:

1. Insert the SD card into the slot at the base of the detector until it clicks into place,

as per the orientation shown on the detector diagram.

2. Turn the detector on, the percentage of free space on the card will be displayed in

the top right of the screen.

To remove an SD card:

1. Turn the detector off by holding down the K

button

button for two seconds, then select

YesYes

soft key. Do not remove the card without completing this

step or the data on the SD card could become corrupted.

2. To physically remove the card, gently press it further into the slot, you will hear a

click and the card will be released.

MICROPHONE

The Anabat Scout has a built-in low-noise omnidirectional microphone in the top black

face of the detector.

There is an additional microphone on the front of the detector above the display for

recoding voice notes.

AUDIO OUTPUT

The detector has a built-in speaker to listen to the audio output, alternatively, you can

connect headphones via the headphone jack on the base of the detector. If headphones

are plugged in, the audio output will switch from the speaker to your headphones

automatically.

GPS

As soon as the Anabat Scout is turned on, it will attempt to get a GPS lock. The GPS signal

will be used to geotag the location in the metadata of the recordings, record a gpx track,

and record locations in the bat count. The clock is also set accurately by the GPS.

When the detector is searching for satellites, the GPS icon in the top of the screen will

be flashing. The number next to this icon indicates the number of satellites the detector

has in view. When a sufficient number of satellites have been obtained, the icon will

change to . The more satellites, the more accurate the GPS signal.

You can still record without a GPS signal, but the location data will be unavailable and a

track will not be recorded. To improve the GPS performance, move to an area with a

clearer view of the sky for better satellite reception.

ANABAT SCOUT BASIC OPERATION

The Anabat Scout is designed to be easy to use, and start recording immediately. Before

you start a recording session with your detector you should set your current time zone

(see Setting the time zone) otherwise the time stamps on the files will be incorrect. The

clock will be automatically set when the GPS obtains a signal. We also highly recommend

you check for firmware updates (see UPDATE FIRMWARE).

To begin:

1. Insert an SD card with sufficient memory for your recording period, ensure the SD

card is correctly orientated as per the diagram.

2. Insert two fresh AA batteries in the back of the detector.

TURNING THE DETECTOR ON/OFF

Turn the detector on by pressing the K button

K button. It will automatically start the live audio. If

you have a SD card inserted, triggered recording will also begin. When a recording is

being triggered, the recording symbol will appear in the bottom centre of the screen

(for more information see TRIGGER SETTINGS).

UPDATE FIRMWARE

To update the firmware, you will need an SD card and the most current version of Anabat

Insight installed on your computer (available from the Titley Scientific website). You can

subscribe to receive email alerts of new Scout firmware updates using this website:

http://eepurl.com/dNeMxc

1. Insert an SD card into your computer

2. Open Anabat Insight.

3. On the Anabat Insight menu bar, click Devices, then Toolbox.

4. Click on the Anabat Scout tab,

Anabat Scout tab,Anabat Scout tab,

Anabat Scout tab, then click Download Update to get the latest

firmware version (you will need to be connected to the internet).

5. Once the download is complete, eject the memory card from your computer and

insert it into your detector.

6. Turn the detector on, it will recognize the update on the memory card and ask if

you would like to update? Press the right soft key

Yes.

7. The detector will install the update and restart.

VOLUME CONTROL

To control the volume, use the left and right navigation buttons whilst in the main screen.

Alternatively, you can change the volume in the settings.

BAT COUNTER

The bat counter will record every in and out button press into a .csv spreadsheet. Along

with each button press, it will also record the date, time, and location. By default, each

in/out button press will count as 1, however you can increase this increment up to 10 (see

Bat count increment). To reset the bat counter, hold both the In and Out buttons

simultaneously for 2 seconds. A new bat count file will be created for each night.

RECORDING A VOICE MEMO

By default, the right soft key

right soft keyright soft key

memo whilst you record the memo, once the button is released the memo recording will

end. You cannot record a voice memo and record bat files simultaneously.

You cannot record a voice memo and record bat files simultaneously. Speak into the

voice microphone (located just above the screen) while taking the memo. It is best to hold

the microphone around 15cm (6 inches) from your mouth while speaking.

If you have changed the function of right soft key (see Soft key options), then you can
