Setup
1. Charging the Device
Before first use, fully charge the detector. Connect the provided USB charging cable to the device's charging port and a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter). The charging indicator light will show the charging status and turn off when fully charged.
2. Powering On/Off
To power on the device, slide the power switch to the 'ON' position. To power off, slide the switch to 'OFF'.

Operating Instructions
1. Hidden Camera Lens Detection (Infrared Mode)
This mode uses infrared LEDs to illuminate hidden camera lenses, making them visible through the detector's viewing window.
- Turn on the device.
- Activate the infrared mode (refer to device buttons for specific mode selection).
- Look through the red viewing window on the detector.
- Slowly scan the area you wish to inspect. Hidden camera lenses will appear as bright red dots.

2. RF Signal Detection (Wireless Devices)
This mode detects wireless signals emitted by eavesdropping devices, wireless cameras, and other RF transmitters.
- Turn on the device and select RF detection mode.
- Adjust the sensitivity level. Start with a lower sensitivity and gradually increase it to narrow down the signal source.
- Slowly sweep the area. The device will emit an audible alarm and/or vibrate, and indicator lights will illuminate, increasing in intensity as you get closer to a signal source.
- Move the device closer to suspected areas (e.g., furniture, electronics, walls) to pinpoint the exact location.

3. Magnetic Field Detection (GPS Trackers)
This mode is used to detect magnetic GPS trackers, which are often attached to vehicles using magnets.
- Attach the magnetic probe to the detector.
- Select the magnetic field detection mode.
- Slowly move the probe along surfaces where a magnetic tracker might be hidden, such as under a vehicle, inside wheel wells, or under seats.
- The device will alert you when a magnetic field is detected.

4. Sensitivity Adjustment
The device features 6 levels of sensitivity. Adjusting the sensitivity allows you to fine-tune the detection range and minimize false alarms. Use lower sensitivity in smaller areas or when pinpointing a source, and higher sensitivity for broader sweeps.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, charge the device regularly, even if not in frequent use. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low battery. | Charge the device fully using the provided USB cable. |
| False alarms during RF detection. | High sensitivity in an area with many wireless signals (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile phones). | Lower the sensitivity level. Turn off known wireless devices in the immediate vicinity if possible. |
| Cannot find hidden cameras in optical mode. | Not scanning slowly enough or camera lens is very small/well hidden. | Scan the area very slowly and thoroughly. Ensure the room is dimly lit for better visibility of reflections. |
| Magnetic detection not working. | Magnetic probe not properly connected or device not in magnetic mode. | Ensure the magnetic probe is securely connected and the correct mode is selected. |
