5. Setup

1. Charge the Device: Before first use, fully charge the K18 detector using the provided USB charging cable and power adapter. The low voltage indicator will turn off once fully charged.
2. Attach Antenna: Depending on your detection needs, screw in either the short, rigid antenna or the flexible probe antenna into the antenna port on the top of the device. The flexible probe is generally used for more precise signal tracing.
3. Power On: Press and hold the power button (usually located on the side or front) to turn on the device.

6. Operating Instructions

The K18 detector offers multiple modes for comprehensive surveillance detection.

6.1. General RF Signal Detection (Wireless Sweep)

1. Select Mode: Turn the main dial to the desired detection mode (e.g., 'MS' for RF signal detection).
2. Adjust Sensitivity: Rotate the sensitivity knob (usually on the side) to adjust the detection range. Start with lower sensitivity and gradually increase it.
3. Scan Area: Slowly sweep the detector across the area you wish to inspect. The LED signal strength indicator will light up, and an audible alert (beep) or vibration will occur if a signal is detected.
4. Locate Source: As you get closer to the source of the signal, the LED indicator will show more bars, and the alert will intensify. Reduce sensitivity as you approach to pinpoint the exact location.

6.2. Camera Lens Detection

1. Activate Mode: Switch the detector to camera detection mode (often indicated by a camera icon or specific setting).
2. Look Through Viewer: Look through the special optical lens filter on the detector.
3. Scan for Reflections: Slowly scan the area. Hidden camera lenses will appear as bright red flashing dots due to the detector's infrared light reflecting off the lens.

6.3. GPS Tracker Detection

The K18 can detect GPS trackers by identifying their signal transmissions.

1. Select Mode: Switch to the GPS detection mode (often labeled 'GS' or similar).
2. Scan Vehicle/Area: Sweep the detector around vehicles (under seats, dashboard, bumpers) or other suspected areas.
3. Interpret Signals: An increase in signal strength indicates the presence of a GPS tracker.

6.4. Audio Bug Detection

The device can detect wireless audio bugs and GSM dictographs.

1. Select Mode: Use the appropriate mode for audio detection.
2. Use Headset (Optional): For discreet detection or in noisy environments, connect a headset to the detector's audio jack.
3. Scan Area: Move the detector around the room, paying attention to furniture, walls, and electronic devices.
4. Listen for Anomalies: Listen for unusual sounds or signal spikes that indicate a hidden audio device.

7. Applicable Scenarios

The K18 detector is suitable for various situations where privacy and security are a concern:

• Confidential Meetings: Ensure sensitive discussions remain private.
• Hotels and Rental Properties: Check for hidden cameras or listening devices in unfamiliar accommodations.
• Dressing Rooms: Verify privacy in changing areas.
• Vehicles: Detect hidden GPS trackers or audio bugs in cars.
• ATMs: Identify devices used for signal dispersion or skimming.

8. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the detector in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: Recharge the battery regularly, even if not in use, to maintain its lifespan. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
• Antenna Care: Handle antennas carefully to prevent bending or damage.

9. Troubleshooting

10. User Tips

• For best results, perform scans in quiet environments with minimal electronic interference.
• When searching for hidden cameras, slowly sweep the room and look for small, reflective points, especially in dark areas or objects like smoke detectors, clocks, or power outlets.
• Use the flexible probe antenna for more precise localization of signals once a general area has been identified.
• Regularly check the battery level to ensure uninterrupted operation during critical scans.
