setting tab immediately broke off

I just received my first batch of AudioMoths. When following the configuration directions and toggled the set up tab between default and custom and USB, the tab essentially disintegrated. Anyone have this happen? Is it going to be a problem to use w/o the tab?

Hi Kaitlin, It’ll be a pain without the tang on the switch but it is easily fixed without having to desolder the switch in most cases. Is it just one device? Alrx

Hi Kaitlin

It's easy to replace the innards of the switch without desoldering the switch body - see my post " Simple AudioMoth Switch Repair " on the Device Support forum (Sep 24). www.openacousticdevices.info/support/device-support/simple-audiomoth-switch-repair
