Setup
1. Charging the Device
Before first use, fully charge the Eilimy T15 detector using the provided USB-C charging cable. Connect the cable to the charging port on the device and a compatible USB power source. The charging indicator light will show the charging status.
2. Powering On/Off
To power on the device, press and hold the power button for 3-5 seconds. The indicator lights will illuminate. To power off, press and hold the power button again until the lights turn off.
3. Extending the Antenna
For optimal signal detection, gently extend the telescopic antenna located at the top of the device.
Operating Modes
1. Infrared Camera Detection
This mode is used to find hidden camera lenses. Attach the red viewfinder to the device. Look through the viewfinder and slowly scan the area. The red LED lights on the detector will illuminate, and if a hidden camera lens is present, it will reflect the light back as a bright, flashing red spot through the viewfinder. For enhanced visibility, you can also use your phone's camera to scan the area while the detector's red LEDs are active.

2. Signal Detection
This function scans for all wireless signals, including those from WiFi cameras, Bluetooth devices, and eavesdropping bugs. Extend the antenna. The closer you get to a signal source, the stronger the signal strength indicator (blue LED lights) will become. You can adjust the sensitivity using the dedicated button to narrow down the detection range and pinpoint the exact location of the wireless device. It is recommended to turn off any known wireless devices in the area before scanning to avoid interference.

3. Magnetic Field Detection
Use this mode to detect magnetic GPS trackers and other magnetic spy devices. Switch the device to the green light mode. Bring the detector close to suspicious areas, such as under car seats or hidden compartments. When the magnetic field sensor detects a magnetic source, the device will emit an audible beep to alert you.

4. Vibration Alarm (Anti-theft Mode)
For added security, activate the vibration alarm mode. You can hang the device on a doorknob or place it near an entry point. If the device detects any movement or vibration, it will sound a beeping alarm for 10 seconds, alerting you to potential intrusion and deterring unauthorized access.

5. Flashlight Function
The device includes a built-in flashlight. Short press the dedicated button to switch the signal light to illuminate a small area, useful for inspecting dark corners or hard-to-reach spots.
