1. 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 1 Enter the room and turn on your Protect 12071 Watch the bar graphs and if they show increased levels more than 4 5 segments turn on the atte nuator by shifting the joystick in the upper direction ATT The corresponding LED will show the attenuator has been turned on Note Later you can turn off the attenuator by pushing the joystick in the Opposite direction 2 Choose the operation mode by sequentially shifting the joystick to the right e Silent the default mode which is automatically selected after turning the unit on It can also be selected in the sequence of modes joystick right or chosen quickly by shifting the joystick to the left This mode is useful when a covert procedure is necessary e The Listen mode is more convenient for locating and inspecting the RF source as the operator can learn about the source by hearing the demodulated signal An experienced operator may be able to distinguish between2. 07i Normally the Protect 1207i is able to detect a CDMA GSM 3G LTE 4G signal at a distance of 2 10 meters and Bluetooth Wi Fi Wi Max DECT channels at 50 250 cm D Gare aa 46

SD and can listen to all your conversations in the office or at home And perhaps more importantly the Bluetooth protocol has been specially designed to transmit voices or conver sations with high quality at a distance of up to 100 m it can easily be used for bugging The sensitivity of a common RF detector bug detector is spread along a wide frequency range usually 3 or even 6 7 GHz This means the common detector cannot detect such weak and non continuous signals as Bluetooth Wi Fi or Wi Max Even more powerful signals like GSM 1800 are also hard to detect because of their low sensitivity at higher frequency ranges The only way to reliably detect wireless protocols is to use pre selector chips saw filters which attenuate all other signals except the desired ones This is the method implemented in the Protect 1207i which has 6 channels for different frequency ranges and can simultaneously detect 6 different kinds of transmissions at a distance much greater than any common RF detectors Such qualities make the Protect 1207i a very desirable and reliable device during counter surveillance sweeps It is recommended that all sources of RF waves are detected in the premises during a search It is necessary to determine the nature of every source whether it is a regular transmitter like a Wi Fi access point or it has an unclear origin and thus should be inspected and probably removed Ways of eavesdropping The following are the most prob
