The sound mode allows the operator to listen to the signal so that 

 

he or she

 

can 

  

understand

  

 more 

  

about

  

 the 

 

source.

  

The

  

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 

 

is 

 

a silence on the speaker. In this case it is recommended to use the

 

 'CORR' 

function  (10)  while  watching  the  DEMODULATION'  display  (3). 

 

Simultaneous 

fluctuations will warn of the danger.

Step 2. Scanning the area

Enter  the  room  holding  the  Protect  1206i  while  watching  its  bargraph  or  paying 
attention to the vibrator. Turn the lights and other equipment in the room on and 
off. Walk around the room, continuously watching the indicator or feeling for the 
Protect's vibration. The bargraph level will increase or decrease when the detector 
is closer to, or farther away from a transmitting device. Probe all objects which may 
contain a hidden surveillance device. When you get close to an RF bugging device 
the  bargraph  of  your  Protect  1206i  will  rise  (or  the  vibration  will  appear).  Pay 
special attention to the places where an AC exists as a bug can be powered from it 
(AC outlets, AC lines, electrical appliances, etc). 

The 

 

distance 

 

of 

 

detection

 

 may 

 

vary

 

 depending 

 

on

 

 the

 

 situation. 

   

Usually 

 

the 

Protect 1206i 

 

is 

 

able 

 

to 

 

detect

 

 an 

 

average 

 

radio

 

 microphone 

 

at 

 

 

distance of 

30-

10

0 cm, although

 

 it

 

is 

 

recommended to probe objects at a proximity of 10 cm. 

The bargraph can display 16 different levels. 
In the case of detecting an increased level, try to find where it is the strongest. 
Move 

 

the

 

 detector

 

 in

 

 different directions and/or rotate it. Turn on the attenuator 

near 

 

a

 

 strong 

 

source

 

 when the bargraph lights fully. It will drop and then increase 

further,

 

 therefore 

 

making

 

 it 

 

possible

 

 to

 

 locate 

 

more

 

 precisely. 

 

Do not forget to 

restore

  

the normal sensitivity of the device before continuing the search by turning 

the attenuator off. 

Step 3. Checking a suspicious place

The bargraph may often show an increased level near wires or metal objects such as 
building constructions. This may not be a bug, but rather the metal acting as an 
antenna extension. A similar situation may appear in the apertures of windows due 
to radio waves coming from the outside. This interference does not usually have a 
concentrated area and exists within a large expanse, whereas a bugging device will 
have an area of a strong and concentrated field in a more local area. 

After you have found the exact location of a high field, perform the following 
actions:
1)

 

 If

 

 secrecy

 

 is not critical turn on the sound mode and listen to the sound. Check 

for 

 

the

 

 presence 

 

of

 

 a 

 

loopback 

 

effect or the effect of the disappearance in back

-

1) 

 

For covert procedures use the vibration or silent mode

2) 

 

The

 

 sound

 

 mode 

 

is more convenient for locating and inspecting the RF source. 

3) 

 

The 

 

vibrating

 

 or

 

 mixed

 

 mode

 

 allows

 

 the operator to avoid constantly 

     

watching the bargraph when inspecting areas that are difficult to access
