5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Power On/Off

• To power on, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the device activates.
• To power off, press and hold the power button again until the device shuts down.

5.2. RF Signal Detection

This mode is used to detect wireless signals from GSM bugs, wireless microphones, and other RF transmitting devices.

• Attach the RF antenna to the device.
• Select the RF detection mode using the mode switch.
• Adjust sensitivity using the dedicated control. Move the device slowly around the area.
