Operating Instructions
Mode Selection
The device features multiple operating modes. Press the "Mode Button" (second from bottom) to cycle through the different detection modes:
- RF Signal Detection Mode: Detects wireless signals from hidden cameras, listening devices, and GPS trackers. The blue indicator lights will illuminate, indicating signal strength. Extend the antenna for optimal detection.
- Magnetic Detection Mode: Used to find magnetic GPS trackers. The green indicator lights will illuminate.
- Infrared (IR) Detection Mode: For wired hidden cameras. The red lights will flash.
- Burglar Alarm Mode (Anti-Theft): Activates a vibration-sensitive alarm.

1. RF Signal Detection Mode
- Extend the antenna fully.
- Press the Mode button until the blue indicator lights are active.
- Adjust sensitivity using the "Signal Strength Adjustment Button" (third from bottom) to narrow down the detection range. Higher sensitivity detects weaker signals from further away, while lower sensitivity helps pinpoint the exact location of a strong signal.
- Slowly scan the area. The device will beep and the blue lights will illuminate more intensely as it approaches a signal source.

2. Magnetic Detection Mode (GPS Tracker)
- Press the Mode button until the green indicator lights are active.
- Move the detector slowly over surfaces where a magnetic GPS tracker might be hidden (e.g., under a car, furniture).
- The device will beep and the green lights will illuminate more intensely as it detects a magnetic field.

3. Infrared (IR) Detection Mode
- Press the Mode button until the red indicator lights are active.
- Look through the viewfinder on the detector while scanning the room.
- Hidden camera lenses will appear as bright red dots when illuminated by the detector's IR lights.
- This mode is most effective in dimly lit environments.

4. Burglar Alarm Mode (Anti-Theft)
- Press the Mode button until the blue indicator light for anti-theft mode illuminates.
- Hang the device on a door handle or place it on an object you wish to protect.
- After 10 seconds, the anti-theft mode will activate. If movement or vibration is detected, the device will emit a continuous alarm.
- To deactivate, press the power button.

Maintenance
- Keep the device clean and dry. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or moisture.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Charge the device regularly to maintain battery health, even if not used frequently.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low battery or device is off. | Charge the device fully. Ensure the power button is held for 3 seconds to turn on. |
| No signal detected in RF mode. | Signal too weak, device too far from source, or no active wireless signals. | Extend the antenna. Increase sensitivity. Move closer to suspected areas. Ensure devices are actively transmitting. |
| IR mode does not show red dots. | Room is too bright, or no wired hidden cameras present. | Perform detection in a dimly lit or dark room. Ensure you are looking through the viewfinder. |
| Anti-theft alarm triggers unexpectedly or not at all. | Device moved before activation, or insufficient vibration. | Ensure device is stable for 10 seconds after activation. Test sensitivity in different positions. |
