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
a
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
