Testing for RF signals with a bug detection device
If you have the detection sensitivity turned up all the way it will go off all the time. The average household has multiple items that transmit using RF. Try this:
· Turn the unit down to the lowest sensitivity setting, the LED lights should stop blinking
· Pick up your cordless phone but keep the RF detector about 3 feet away
· On your phone press whatever buttons you need to get a dial tone (or start dialing)
· Move the RF detector unit right next to the phone
· It will detect the RF signal and the LED lights will go off
You should be able to do that with a cell phone too.
You have to “sweep” your rooms a couple of times using the low settings. You are looking for RF signals in places where they don’t belong… shower heads, light fixtures, electrical outlets etc.
