BLUESLEUTHT-M Lite Ble Tag Detector
BlueSleuth-Lite detects hidden BLE tags and other nearby BLE devices. The
toggle side button is essentially a 3 way switch; toggle left, toggle right
and push in the toggle to choose the selection highlighted on screen. Push in
the power up the unit and hold it in for a few seconds to fully power down
unit. Refer to flowchart on next page for screen sequence and additional
information.
All BLE devices and tags are listed in order from strongest signal strength
(top of list) to weakest (bottom of list). If you choose to view all BLE
devices, BLE tags still have priority, and are listed at the top regardless of
their signal strength. Due to MAC spoofing and manufacturers’ settings, some
BLE devices and tags will shift frequently up and down the list and sometimes
disappear altogether and some will take a little longer to be detected than
others. BLE tag MAC addresses are color-coded according to confidence that
these devices are still nearby and active: blue MACs are detections with no
confidence (yet), yellow MACs have some degree of confidence and red MACs
indicate that the device or tag is definitely nearby and active.
| POWER – Press toggle button to turn unit ON. Hold in toggle button for a few
seconds to turn unit back OFF
---|---
| SETTINGS – Choose this icon to enter the SETTINGS menu to see firmware,
serial number and choose threshold trigger settings, alert settings, user mode
(basic or pro) and to choose between all BLE devices and just BLE tags.
| PERSISTENCE – Choose between 10, 15 or 30 seconds minimum that devices stay
on screen. This makes it easier to track multiple device detections even as
the scan list changes frequently.
| FREEZE – Choose this to freeze all current measurements on or off screen.
You may scroll to see full list and take notes while in this mode. Snowflake
icon will turn grey in this mode so be sure to turn it back off in order to
see live scanning of devices again.
| DEVICE COUNT – Top left number indicates highlighted device ranking
(according to signal strength) in scan list. Lower right number indicates
total number of devices currently in scan list. List is limited to maximum of
20 devices.
| BATTERY – This icon indicate remaining battery power. Highlight and choose
this button icon to see more information on the battery status and procedures
for recalibrating battery if performance of battery is in question.
| DEVICE SELECTED – Toggle to the BLE device or tag of interest. Push in
toggle to see more information on the highlighted device or tag. Basic mode
shown. Choose Pro mode for numerical dBm measurement display.
NOTE: If you plan to detect and track your OWN BLE tag, be sure that your phone is OFF or in airplane mode (be sure that BT is also OFF – iPhones do not turn off BT in airplane mode by default unless the user has manually turned it off once, first) during any scanning. BLE tags cannot be detected by BlueSleuth-Lite when they are in direct communication with the phone they were paired with.
