the source of RF energy is approached more LEDs will
light and the audio alarm will sound faster. The point at
which maximum strength is registered (the most LEDs
light and the alarm signal is at its highest rate) will
indicate the location of the RF source.
3. To turn the audio alarm off: Open the housing to
expose the panel above the battery compartment (see
Battery Insertion). Move the small switch labeled
"SOUND” to the "OFF" position. The audio alarm is
now off. To turn the audio alarm back on move the
switch to the “ON” position.
Recommended Usage
Wireless transmitters, also known as bugs, are readily
available and easy to hide. These transmitters convert
sound waves, voices for example, into radio waves and
transmits these radio waves to a receiver. The best way
to detect a wireless transmitter is to search for these
tell-tale radio wave emissions.
The MINI BUG DETECTOR searches for wireless
transmitting devices or bugs by scanning the area for
the RF radiation generated by an operating transmitter.
When an alarm situation arises do not immediately
assume that a bug has been located. Not only wireless
transmitters emit radio waves. Electrically operated
devices, lighting fixtures, and the environment also emit
some level of RF energy. To a certain extent the unit can
compensate for environmental RF interference.
When the RF sensitivity level on the unit is set, the
unit basically “tunes out” the extraneous environmental
radio energy. However, the MINI BUG DETECTOR
may register some objects that are not bugs, because
they do emit radio energy which is above the normal
environmental level. When the detector registers an
alarm, the area must be examined carefully for other
possible sources of RF energy, and an attempt must
be made to isolate the object causing the alarm. Other
possible sources of RF radiation must be considered.
Attempt to isolate the source of the alarm. When
sweeping, turn off or move electrical appliances and
lighting fixtures. Remember that when using the
unit set to higher sensitivity, you will receive more
false alarms.
For best results, always use a fresh battery.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MINI BUG DETECTOR
MODEL P7050
Description
The MINI BUG DETECTOR is a hand held wireless
transmitter (“bug”) detector and locator. It will indicate
the presence of wireless transmitters operating in the
50 MHz to 3 GHz range, and its LED bar display and
optional audio tone will help to locate them. This
compact unit operates on one 9-volt battery.
Battery Insertion
1. Depress button recessed on back of unit. Slide unit out
of the enclosure to reveal battery compartment.
2. Insert battery into battery compartment. Be sure
polarity of battery matches the diagram inside the
battery compartment.
3. To close compartment depress button in the back and
slide unit back into housing.
4. We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for
maximum life.
RF Sensitivity Adjustment
1. Turn the unit on by turning the OFF/SENS knob
clockwise all the way. All LED lights should light and
the audio alarm should sound.
2. Turn the OFF/SENS knob counter-clockwise until
no LEDs are lit and the audio alarm shuts off. This
operation sets the RF sensitivity of the MINI BUG
DETECTOR for the area to be swept.
Operation
1. First adjust the MINI BUG DETECTOR as per the
above instructions. The unit must be readjusted for
every new area or room to be swept. The MINI BUG
DETECTOR should be held parallel to surfaces and
about half an inch away from them. Cover the area in
a smooth sweeping motion. Pass the detector up and
down walls, scan ceilings and floors, and be sure to sweep
all objects, including appliances and furniture. Pay close
attention to corners, switch plates, and outlets. These are
common areas where bugs are hidden.
2. When a source of RF energy is detected the LED
display will light and the audio alarm will sound. As
