PROTECT 1 206 Detector of bugs and digital transmissions...
Page 2
The Protect 1206i is a new class of counter surveillance device. Unlike all typical searching devices it can detect modern 'hidden' bugs which use such protocols as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi at a long distance. Such bugs, especially Bluetooth types, are practically undetectable by common RF detectors due to their very low transmitted power and special type of modulation.

The Protect 1206i has two separate RF channels which work with the two corres- ponding antennas. The ANT1 channel (1) is used for the detection of the wide frequency range 50-12000 MHz in order to perform searches for all types of trans-...

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 will be silence from the unit's speaker.

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).

2) Press the CORR button while watching the DEMODULATION display to find the synchronous fluctuations. They will show the presence of correlation, i.e. a radio microphone. 3) Switch the Protect 1206i to ANT2 (2) temporarily to detect whether it is a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth signal or not. Step 4. Physical search Not depending on the results, start a physical search.

It is difficult to cover such a wide band simultaneously, but the rod antenna used in the new version of the Protect 1206i manages this task very well. The antenna gives good results at detecting signals on frequencies starting from 50 MHz and higher, up to 3000MHz including all the following bands –...

You should apply the rod antenna on ANT1, although the procedure can be repeated with the Micro-Pointer on ANT1. Start checking from the phone set. Place the Protect 1206i near the set and lift the receiver. Watch for an increase of the RF level (or starting of the vibration). Please note: It is pointless to test wireless (radio) telephones, for they act exactly like a bugging device themselves due to the use of radio waves.
