Upline Phone Line Wiretap Detector
Part# AP3003

Features & Specifications

3003 Upline Detector. Your phone line can be wiretapped or bugged and the telephone instrument itself can be quickly and easily converted to a very efficient room monitor.

Now you can check your phone line for on-premises series and parallel bugs, as well as wiretaps and hookswitch bypasses. A hookswitch bypass is a modification to the telephone instrument so that the carbon microphone (transmitter) or dynamic earphone (receiver) will pick up room sounds and pass them down the phone line to a listening post even with the phone hung up. This effectively turns the telephone into a room monitor.

Operation of your 3003

To test your phone line, you must have access to the box that your phone line comes to your house in. Normally, this box is on or near the outside of your house. Without access to this hardware, the 3003 will not detect bugs properly. You simply unplug your house phone at the box, and plug in the wire tap detector. You will then either pass or fail the tests. If you pass, you're good to go. If you fail, you must reconnect your house phone, then go to each of the jacks in you house, disconnect the phone if there is one, and run the tests again. Doing this will pinpoint where the tap is.

Please note: This unit is not a "magic box" that is connected permanently to a working phone line. It is a test box that lets you check your on-premises wiring and telephones for eavesdropping devices or taps. In order to do this, you must be able to disconnect your inside wiring from the telephone line coming into your home or business.
