4.4 IR Radiation Detection Mode (Hidden Camera Finder)

This mode helps locate hidden cameras by detecting their lenses, which reflect infrared light.

1. Select the IR Radiation Detection mode.
2. Look through the IR detection window on the device while scanning the room.
3. Hidden camera lenses will appear as bright red dots when illuminated by the device's IR light.

4.5 Flashlight Auxiliary Lighting Mode

The built-in flashlight can be used to illuminate dark areas during inspection, aiding in visual searches for hidden devices.

• Activate the flashlight mode by cycling through the modes or a dedicated button press (refer to device markings).

4.6 Sensitivity Adjustment

The AK480+ features 5 levels of adjustable sensitivity to refine detection.

• Use the Sensitivity Adjustment buttons (usually '+' and '-' or up/down arrows) to increase or decrease sensitivity.
• Increase Sensitivity: Expands the detection range, useful for initial scans of larger areas.
• Decrease Sensitivity: Narrows the detection range, helpful for pinpointing the exact location of a detected signal.
