The sound mode is convenient for a fast search as an experienced operator may be
able to distinguish between different types of signals.
An FM-modulated transmitter (bug) can produce a 'loopback effect' when the unit
is close to it, or cause the effect of the disappearance of background noises, which
are usually present further away from the transmitter. In this case the 'hum' which
can be heard in other parts of the room can disappear when the Protect 1206i
approaches the transmitter and there will be silence from the unit's speaker.
When this happens it is recommended to use the 'CORR' function (10) while
watching the 'DEMODULATION' display (3). Simultaneous fluctuations will warn of
danger. Please note that the sound mode is not suitable for covert searches, as
the transmitter will 'hear' sounds in the room.
The vibration and mixed modes are convenient when probing difficult to reach
objects and places. The operator can work without the necessity of watching the
bargraph, a high RF level will be indicated by vibration of the unit.
The Protect 1206i is powered by two AAA (LR03) batteries. It is recommended to
use alkaline batteries in order to reach the optimal working duration. The 'LOW
BATT' indicator (11) will turn on when the batteries are nearing exhaustion.
Sweeping the room
Before starting sweeping, some preparation tasks should be carried out. Firstly, it is
necessary to consider the time and individual circumstances of the sweep. Due to
there being lots of devices which are remotely controlled it is recommended to carry
out a sweep during working hours in real situations when the eavesdropper most
wants to listen. It may be necessary to arrange a fictitious meeting. Nobody has to
know about the pending search.
Close all drapes in the room. Turn on all the lights and activate any other devices to
imitate normal conditions. It is also advisable to turn on a source of sound such as a
stereo system or radio. This sound source has two very important functions:
Voice activated transmitters will be activated
Your actions will be masked
Step 1. Selecting working mode.
Connect the rod antenna to ANT1 and the Micro-Pointer microwave antenna to ANT2.
Turn on the Protect 1206i (7). Make sure the ANT1 is selected (button (9)).
Choose the operation mode with the help of the MODE button (4):
Usage
To avoid false detections turn off all RF transmitting devices
before starting the sweeping procedure:
Wi-Fi routers and Wi-Fi devices (printers, video cameras, laptops, etc.)
Cordless phones
Cell phones
Bluetooth devices, etc.
