Concept
The SoundSens system comprises a powerful software package and the new SoundSens i
pods which can be setup in the field with or without a PC. Recordings can be stored in the
memory of the pod, or the unit can be used with a PC to correlate in the field as a
multipoint unit carrying out the test straight away or as a delayed test ie: over night.
SoundSens i can store four sets of recording sessions. This is equivalent to 4 nights of
data storage. The SoundSens PC software contains help files for using the PC to setup,
download and analyse recordings.
This manual was written using SoundSens software version 3.2.1 and Radcom SoundSens i sensors.

Charging the Carry Case
The carry case contains rechargeable batteries. It must be charged for 24 hours before
first use. Re-charge the carry case when the battery status LED starts to flash RED. The
data will be lost if the unit goes completely flat. However the battery low LED will give
plenty of notice of a low battery (i.e. days) and should be seen as an indication to
download data and re-charge.
The charge in the carry case battery pack should last approximately two months
depending on how frequently it is used.
To charge the batteries plug the supplied mains charger into the charging socket next to
the battery status LED. While charging the LED will flash ORANGE.
When the batteries are charged the battery status LED will flash GREEN (even if the
charger is still connected).
