4. Setup

4.1 Charging the Device

Before first use, fully charge the detector. Connect the provided USB cable to the charging port on the device and a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port). The charging light will indicate the charging status and turn off when fully charged.

4.2 Powering On/Off

Press and hold the ON/OFF Mode Button to power the device on or off.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 RF Signal Detection Mode

This mode is used to detect wireless signals emitted by hidden cameras, eavesdropping devices, and other RF-transmitting bugs.

1. Power on the device.
2. Extend the antenna fully.
3. Press the Mode Button until the RF signal detection mode is active (indicated by specific LED lights).
4. Adjust the sensitivity using the Signal Strength Adjustment Button. Start with a lower sensitivity and gradually increase it if no signals are detected.
5. Slowly scan the area, moving the device around the room, focusing on suspicious objects, walls, and furniture.
6. The LED lights for Signal Detection Sensitivity will illuminate, and the device may emit an audible alert, indicating the presence and strength of an RF signal. More lights or a faster alert indicate a stronger signal, suggesting proximity to the source.

5.2 Hidden Camera (Optical) Detection Mode

This mode uses a red LED array and a special viewfinder to visually locate hidden camera lenses, which reflect the red light brightly.

1. Power on the device.
2. Press the Mode Button until the Hidden Device (Optical) Detection mode is active. The red LED array will illuminate.
3. Look through the Viewfinder on the top of the device.
4. Slowly scan the area, looking for bright red reflections. Hidden camera lenses will appear as distinct bright red dots when viewed through the viewfinder.
5. For best results, perform this scan in a dimly lit or dark room.

5.3 Magnetic Field Detection Mode

This mode is specifically designed to detect magnetic GPS trackers, which are often attached to vehicles using magnets.

1. Power on the device.
2. Press the Mode Button until the Magnetic Field Detection mode is active (indicated by the Magnetic Mode Light).
3. Move the device close to surfaces where a magnetic tracker might be hidden, such as under a car, inside car seats, or other metallic objects.
4. The device will alert you (audibly or visually) if a magnetic field is detected.
