batcorder software update

The batcorder firmware gets developed continuously and we offer you updates that you can apply yourself. You need a 4 or 8 GB SDHC card and your batcorder. Using detailed instructions that you can download here or from our support page (section FAQs) all necessary steps are explained in detail. Currently a set of instructions on how to prepare the SDHC card for updating the batcorder with a Windows PC or with an Apple Mac exists. Your batcorder's current SW version is displayed at the batcorder startup screen. Do check this version before applying any updates to see if your batcorder can be updated that way! Some very early batcorder SW versions can not be updated with a SDHC card (see the following details)!
