# Specifications

The EMOTIV Extender is compatible with our latest headsets (Insight, Flex and EPOC+) and is designed to enhance the headset usability by providing longer battery life and data storage. It has four functions:

1. Extends the battery life of the headset.
2. Allows tethering of the headset to your computer. The tether is isolated to provide a safe, reliable connection while minimising the injected noise.
3. Allows a user to record their sessions to a microSD card for later playback and analysis, removing the need to record to a mobile device or PC.
4. Allows an external hardware trigger to inject marker data directly into the raw data stream, improving accuracy of marked events to +/- 1 sample.
