1. Introduction
The JMDHKK K20 Hidden Camera Detector is a versatile device designed to enhance your personal privacy and security. It combines multiple detection functions to help you identify hidden cameras, wireless listening devices, and magnetic GPS trackers in various environments such as hotels, offices, cars, and homes.
Key Features:
- Hidden Camera Detection: Detects hidden cameras and spy cameras, ensuring personal privacy and protection from unauthorized surveillance in hotels, offices, and other sensitive environments.
- Wireless Signal Detection: Identifies wireless bugs, magnetic trackers, and active signal sources with adjustable sensitivity, allowing precise detection of suspicious devices.
- Magnetic Field Detection: Locates magnetic tracking devices commonly hidden in vehicles or luggage, offering effective protection during travel or car inspections.
- Infrared Detection Modes: Infrared laser scanning and automatic detection detect infrared-emitting devices like night vision cameras, helping secure environments in low-light or dark settings.
- Portable Design with Flashlight Function: Compact and lightweight with an integrated flashlight for examining tight spaces, such as under car seats or in concealed gaps, making it a convenient tool for any scenario.

2. Setup
2.1 Charging the Device
Before first use, or if the device does not power on, ensure it is fully charged. The K20 detector comes with a Type-C charging port. Connect the provided charging cable to the device and a suitable USB power source. A red indicator light will illuminate during charging and turn off once charging is complete.

2.2 Attaching Antennas
The K20 detector includes two types of antennas for different detection modes:
- RF Antenna: For wireless signal detection, screw the small black RF antenna into the left-side port labeled 'RF'.
- Magnetic Probe (GS Probe): For magnetic field detection, connect the flexible magnetic probe into the top-middle port labeled 'GS'.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Power On and Sensitivity Adjustment
To power on the device, rotate the knob switch on the top clockwise. This knob also controls the sensitivity. Rotate clockwise to increase sensitivity and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Adjust the sensitivity to a level where the device is not constantly alarming in a clear environment, typically the lowest 2-3 levels, to avoid false positives.
3.2 RF Signal Detection
This mode is used to detect wireless signals from hidden cameras, listening devices, and other transmitting bugs.
- Ensure the RF antenna is securely attached.
- Turn on the detector by rotating the top knob. The device will automatically enter RF signal detection mode.
- Adjust the sensitivity knob counter-clockwise until the green LED lights stop flashing and the device stops beeping. This sets the baseline for the environment.
- Slowly scan the area. When the detector approaches a wireless signal source, it will emit continuous alarms or vibrations, and the signal strength LED bar will increase, indicating a successful detection.
- Inspect the identified object to determine if it is a spy device.

3.3 Magnetic Field Detection
This mode is specifically designed to locate magnetic tracking devices, often found hidden in vehicles or on metal surfaces.
- Ensure the magnetic probe (GS Probe) is securely connected to the top-middle port.
- Turn on the detector by rotating the top knob.
- Press and hold the 'M' button for 3-4 seconds until the blue GS pilot light illuminates and the white LED light at the end of the magnetic antenna turns on.
- Slowly move the magnetic probe close to suspected areas (e.g., under car seats, bumpers, luggage). When the probe is 0-5 inches away from a magnetic object, the signal strength LED bar will intensify to red, and an alarm will sound.
- Detection distance depends on the object's size and magnetic strength: bigger, stronger magnets are detected from afar; smaller ones up close.
Video: Demonstrates the magnetic field detection feature of the JMDHKK K20, showing how to attach the GS probe and detect magnetic objects.

3.4 Camera Lens Finder
This function helps identify hidden camera lenses, including wired, wireless, pinhole, and infrared cameras, by reflecting light off their lenses.
- Turn on the detector by rotating the top knob and adjust sensitivity to the lowest level.
- Briefly press the 'M' button to activate the red LED lights on the back of the detector. Press again to turn them off. Long press to change the flash frequency of the LED lights. Choose a frequency that suits you.
- Place the view finder (the circular lens on the front) under one eye.
- Slowly scan the area, looking through the view finder. Any hidden camera lens will reflect the red LED light, appearing as a bright, distinct spot.
- Manually verify if the bright spot is indeed a hidden camera.

4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your JMDHKK K20 detector, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface or internal components.
- Storage: Store the detector in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective case when not in use.
- Battery Care: Recharge the device regularly, even if not in frequent use, to maintain battery health. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
- Handle with Care: Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can damage internal circuitry.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your JMDHKK K20 detector, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on | Low battery; Power knob not fully rotated | Charge the device fully; Rotate the power knob clockwise until it clicks on. |
| Frequent false alarms in RF mode | High environmental RF interference (Wi-Fi, cell signals); Sensitivity too high | Reduce sensitivity by rotating the knob counter-clockwise; Move away from known strong signal sources. |
| Magnetic detection not working | Magnetic probe not properly connected; Not in magnetic detection mode | Ensure probe is securely screwed in; Press and hold 'M' button for 3-4 seconds to activate magnetic mode. |
| Cannot find hidden cameras with lens finder | Incorrect usage; Camera lens too small or well-hidden | Ensure red LED lights are on and flashing frequency is suitable; Scan slowly and thoroughly, checking all angles. |
