β Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I use it?
A: Turn on the device, adjust the sensitivity dial, and slowly sweep around the room. The LED bar graph rises and the speaker tone changes as you approach a signal source. Start with lower sensitivity in busy environments to filter out ambient WiFi.
Q: Can it find GPS trackers on my car?
A: Yes β if the GPS tracker is actively transmitting. If the tracker is in sleep mode (not sending a signal), the G318 will not detect it. For sleeping trackers, the Pro 4-in-1 model with its magnetic probe is required.
Q: How is this different from the G319A?
A: Both cover the same 1β8GHz frequency range with the same sensitivity. The G318 has a more compact metal body (102mm vs 180mm with antenna); the G319A is larger. Choose the G318 for a more pocketable form factor.
Q: Is it legal to use in the UK?
A: Yes. Using a detector to check your own private space is completely legal.
