DETAILED CPM-700 PROCEDURE

CPM-700
Low power bugs transmit less than 300 feet, using less than 1 milliwatt. A
separate breed of transmitters, called “micro power bugs” is designed to be
undetectable with a power of one microwatt or less. These specialized bugs
are very small, with short antennas. The monitor must be very close and
very sophisticated. Because of unknowns when planting an RF device, the
eavesdropper will use more than minimum power for reliability.
RF PROBE Set-up
These procedures apply for each use of the Standard RF Probe (50kHz to
3GHz).
1.
Install the Headphones, turn the Audio Gain Control to low
position (counter-clockwise).
2.
Press the Mode Switch to the Search position (in).
3.
Connect the RF Probe to the Probe Input and extend the antenna
to its full length.
4.
Press the Power Switch to activate the unit, and observe the status
display:
5.
Select High Gain level. If a strong ambient noise level is displayed
on the bar graph (more than ten segments), you will need to select
Low Gain and then, if necessary, shorten the antenna.
6.
Adjust the Audio Gain Control to a
comfortable monitoring level.
7.
Use the probe near all surfaces to
be “swept” for potential transmitters.
Changes in the bar graph on the
CPM-700 and significant audible
noise changes may be indicators of
transmitters. Investigate all
suspicious indicators.
