  • Page 3 Yorkie receiver all in a hard carrying case. Powering Up/Down Your Unit Yorkie only has one physical button on the front of unit. Press this white button to power up and hold it down for 3 seconds to power down.
  • Page 4 The smaller dark model is a standard DF antenna while the larger, white model is a wideband antenna ideal for detecting a larger range of devices. While holding Yorkie in one hand, sweep the directional antenna back and forth slowly in order to increase Yorkie’s range and pinpoint...
  • Page 5 Main Measurement Screen Yorkie scans all active nearby cellular devices but only displays the strongest signal. As the user moves closer or further from various active devices, the frequency will change to indicate the strongest (sometimes the closest one but not always) device detected.
  • Page 6 Watermark shows highest signal strength since watermark was last reset. Watermark options can be changed by navigating to the main menu Threshold bar adjusts on a scale from 0-10 using the up and down arrows. The higher the bar is set, the less alerts will trigger. The lower the bar is set, the more alerts will trigger.
  • Page 7 Main Menu Options Yorkie Main Menu screen can be reached from nearly any other screen by touching the rectangular icon with three lines. This screen provides many adjustments as well as the unit’s information and battery health. Use back button at anytime to navigate back to previous menu.
  • Page 8 If you do not see the country code of the country you are currently operating your Yorkie, you should select your country so that Yorkie is scanning for the correct frequencies. Check with your region’s carriers to determine all of the frequency bands being broadcast in your region.
  • Page 9 As you lower attenuation (down arrow) to increase Yorkie’s range, you can see the signal strength bar on the left side move up. Conversely, if your Yorkie is triggering alerts too much due to a noisy RF floor, raise attenuation (up arrow) and you will see the signal strength bar on the left lower.
  • Page 10 WATERMARK navigates to a menu allowing users to customize their measurement time before the watermark automatically resets. Users can choose Yorkie to automatically reset the high watermark every 5 seconds, every 30 seconds or manually (never). In manual mode, users can easily reset the current watermark anytime by simply touching the watermark on the main measurement screen.
  • Page 11 Battery Screen This screen indicates current battery capacity. If you are experiencing noticeably shorter run times for your Yorkie, navigate to this screen and follow the instructions. If battery issues persist, contact BVS support at 732-548-3737 or support@bvsystems.com.
  • Page 12 Product Info Screen This screen displays the current firmware and serial number of your Yorkie unit. Visit www.bvsystems.com to check for firmware updates and follow instructions from there. If you are contacting sales or support with any questions, navigate to this screen to verify your serial number.
