QUICK START GUIDE
GETTING STARTED
SETUP APP FOR IOS & ANDROID
The Tentacle Setup App for mobile devices allows you to synchronize, monitor,
set, and change the basic parameters of your Tentacle device. This includes
settings such as timecode, frame rate, device name & icon, output volume,
battery status, user bits, and more. You can download the Setup App here:
www.tentaclesync.com/apps
Please note
Wireless audio monitoring on Android is only supported on Android 10 (API
Level 29) and higher.
Enable Bluetooth on your mobile device
The Setup App will need to communicate with your TRACK E devices via Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is activated on your mobile device. You must grant the app the necessary permissions as well. The Android version also asks for a ‚location permission‘. This is only needed to receive Bluetooth data from your TRACK E. The app does not use or store your current location data in any way.
Switch on your TRACK E
Before starting the app it is recommended to switch on your TRACK E devices.
Pull down the user switch on the side to turn on your TRACK E. The device will
indicate powering ON with a blue animation of the level LED. Once it’s powered
up, the status LED will be pulsating in white for ‚standby‘. During operation,
TRACK E constantly transmits status and recording information via Bluetooth.
Add a new device
If you open the Tentacle Setup App for the first time, the device list will be
empty. You can add new TRACK E audio recorders and SYNC E timecode generators
by tapping on + Add Device This will show a list of available Tentacledevices
nearby. Select the one, you would like to add to the list and tap on it. Hold
your Tentacle device close to your phone to finish the procedure. This ensures
that only you have access to your Tentacles and not someone else nearby. Once
a Tentacle is added to the list, it will appear automatically in the device
list, the next time the app is opened.
TIMECODE SYNCHRONIZATION
With your Setup App, you can easily synchronize all of your TRACK E and SYNCE devices with one button click. At the bottom of your screen, you’ll find the SYNC button.
Tap
on SYNC and a small window will pop up Click on the frame rate and select
the desired frame rate from the dropdown menu Time of Day is predefined as a
starting timecode. For custom timecode tap on the timecode and choose your
desired value.
Press
START
and all Tentacles will synchronize one after another within a few seconds Once
your Tentacle devices are synchronized, the app displays Sync Done
TIMECODE JAM-SYNC
The microphone input can be used to jam-sync your TRACK E with a timecode from
any external timecode source via cable. Once your TRACK E is turned on, you
can jam-sync it as long as there is no other action done (e.g. wireless sync
via app or start a recording). Here are the suitable adapter cables in our
online store:
5-pin LEMO to Tentacle
https://shop.tentaclesync.com/product/lemo-to-tentacle/
BNC cable 90°: https://shop.tentaclesync.com/product/tentacle-
to-90-bnc/
RECORDING
To start a recording with your TRACK E timecode audio recorder, you can start
and stop it via the Setup App or directly at each TRACK E device. With the
SetupApp all of your TRACK E devices can be started at once or each TRACK E
individually in case you are not working with all of your devices at the same
time.
MULTIPLE TRACK RECORDING
On the screen, you’ll find two buttons for RECORD and STOP. These buttons
start and stop the recording of all your TRACK E devices in your list.
SINGLE TRACK RECORDING
Next to each TRACK E status information in the monitoring list is a REC button
as well, which starts and stops the recording just for this single TRACK E.
INDEPENDENT RECORDING VIA USER SWITCH
If you are unable to use the app or don’t want to, you are still able to
operate your TRACK E devices directly and independently of a mobile device.
START
Pull up the user switch, the status LED lights up red during recordings
STOP
Pull up the user switch again
Once your devices have been added to the list, you can check the most important status information of each unit at a glance. You will be able to monitor the level meter, recording file format, recording time, frame rate, timecode, battery status, Bluetooth range, device icon, and name. If a TRACK E is out of Bluetooth range for more than 10 seconds, the status and timecode of it will be maintained. If the app hasn’t received any updates for more than 10 minutes, the message will be Last seen x minutes ago Depending on the physical distance of a Tentacle device to your mobile device, the status information in the list will be highlighted. The closer the TRACK Gets to your mobile device the more saturated the color will be.
Remove a TRACK E from the device list
You can remove a Tentacle. TRACK E from the list by swiping to the left (iOS)
or long-pressing (more than 2 sec.) on the Tentacle (Android).
DEVICE WARNINGS
Devices have to be synchronized: This warning message is displayed, and
inaccuracies of more than half a frame occur between all devices in Green
Mode. Sometimes this warning can pop up for a few seconds when starting the
app from the background. In most cases, the app just needs some time to check
the information of each Tentacle device. However, if the warning message
persists for more than 10 seconds you should consider re-syncing your
Tentacles.
SLEEP MODE
In sleep mode, your TRACK E is saving battery and can be remotely woken up.
Send all your TRACK E to sleep by swiping up the bottom sheet and pressing the
SLEEP button. Wake up the devices by pressing the WAKE button. You can watch
them individually by pressing on the TRACK E in the device list. You have to
re-sync your devices after waking up. Also, note that connecting a sleeping
TRACK Eto USB power it off.
Please note
Sleep mode is supported by Firmware version 2.2.0 or newer

Please note:
When using different microSD cards, make sure you use one that is qualified.
Recommended are SanDisk/Western Digital 8/16/32GB or similar class 10 SDHC up
to 32GB. We recommend leaving the MicroSD card inside the TRACK E and using
the device as a hard drive (see USB-C port and card reader ).
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
TRACK E has a built-in, rechargeable, and replaceable lithium-polymer battery.
Charging is possible via USB-C. The charging status will be shown by the
charging LED right next to the USB-C port. The internal battery can be charged
from any USB power source. The charging time is max. 2 hours if the battery is
completely empty. Fullycharged, TRACK Es can run for up to 10 hours. When the
battery is at less than 10%, Tentacle indicates this by flashing the level LED
yellow several times. The device continues to run in this state until it
switches itself off at 3% of battery status. If the battery is completely
empty, the TRACK E can no longer be switched on before it has been recharged.
The battery is easily replaceable, once the performance is decreasing after
2-4 years depending on the use. A battery replacement kit can be obtained from
Tentacle Sync. In this case please contact
support@tentaclesync.com
Please note:
The charging process of the battery is stopped as soon as temperatures below
0° or above +40° are reached in order to preserve the battery‘s lifetime. This
will be indicated by a red charging LED.
USB-C PORT AND CARD READER
The USB-C port at the bottom of the TRACK E can be used for charging and as a card reader as well. As a card reader, the USB-C port is used for fast data transmission. This way, there is no need to remove the microSD card from the TRACK E. You can transmit your files directly from the Tentacle TRACK E to your computer. Connect your switched-off TRACK E to your computer via the included USB-C cable. You have to push the cable all the way into the TRACK E until it makes a ‚click‘ sound and the status LED indicates the connection by a flash. A hard drive icon will appear on your desktop. You can drag and drop your files directly from the TRACK E onto your computer. To remove the TRACK E, please eject it correctly from your computer.
