4. Setup

4.1 Charging the Device

Before first use, fully charge the device. The built-in 800mAh battery provides approximately 25 hours of working time and up to 30 hours of standby time on a full charge.

1. Connect the provided USB charging cable to the charging port on the device.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into a compatible USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port.
3. The charging indicator light will illuminate during charging.
4. Charging typically takes approximately 1 hour for a full charge.

4.2 Powering On/Off

Press and hold the ON/OFF button located on the device to power it on or off.

5. Operating Instructions

The device offers four primary detection modes:

5.1 Wireless Signal Detection (RF Signal Detector)

This mode detects wireless signals from mobile phones, wireless spy cameras, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other RF transmitting devices.

1. Power on the device. The signal strength lights will indicate the presence of RF signals.
2. Use the Signal Strength Adjustment Button to cycle through 6 levels of sensitivity. Lower sensitivity (fewer lights) is suitable for pinpointing a signal source, while higher sensitivity (more lights) is for broader scanning.
3. Move the device slowly around the area of concern. As you approach a signal source, more indicator lights will illuminate, and the device will emit a sound or vibrate (depending on the selected mode).
4. To switch between Sound and Vibration modes, press the Function Switching button.

5.2 Camera Lens Finder (Infrared Laser Scanning)

This mode helps locate hidden pinhole cameras through visual inspection using infrared laser scanning. Note: This mode provides visual detection only and does not trigger audio or vibration alerts.

1. Press the Function Switching button until the Camera Lens Finder mode is active (indicated by a specific light or icon, refer to Image 3.1).
2. Look through the View Finder on the device.
3. Slowly scan the area, paying close attention to objects, walls, and ceilings. Hidden camera lenses will appear as bright red dots when illuminated by the device's infrared lights and viewed through the finder.

5.3 Magnetic Field Detection (GPS Tracker Detector)

This mode is designed to find magnetized GPS trackers commonly attached to vehicles or other objects.

1. Press the Function Switching button to activate the Magnetic Field Detection mode.
2. Move the device close to surfaces where a magnetic tracker might be hidden, such as under a car, inside upholstery, or behind panels.
3. The device will alert you with sound or vibration when a magnetic field is detected.

5.4 Flashlight

The built-in flashlight can be activated for use in dark environments.

1. Press the Function Switching button to activate the flashlight mode.
2. Press again to turn off the flashlight.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

6.2 Battery Care

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the device when the battery indicator is low. If storing the device for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50% every few months.

6.3 Storage

Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

• Device not turning on: Ensure the device is fully charged. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Inaccurate or false detections (e.g., beeping near hand/phone):
  • Adjust the sensitivity level using the Signal Strength Adjustment Button. High sensitivity in areas with many electronic devices (like mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers) can lead to false positives.
  • Move away from known signal sources (your own phone, Wi-Fi router) when performing scans.
  • Ensure you are using the correct mode for the type of detection you are performing.
• Camera Lens Finder shows no alarm: The Camera Lens Finder mode is designed for visual detection only. It will not trigger audio or vibration alerts. You must look through the View Finder to spot reflections from hidden camera lenses.
• Short battery life: Ensure the device is fully charged before use. Battery performance can degrade over time with repeated charge cycles.
