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.
Four modes of the PEDUMMY T17 detector: RF Signal Detection, Magnetic Detection, Burglar Alarm, and IR Detection.

1. RF Signal Detection Mode

  1. Extend the antenna fully.
  2. Press the Mode button until the blue indicator lights are active.
  3. 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.
  4. 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)

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

3. Infrared (IR) Detection Mode

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