Figure 22: Attach the lock panel Figure 20: Insert the iPhone into the tray STEP 4: POWERING ON THE SAFECASE The SafeCase is in shipping mode when it arrives. To power it on for the first time, connect the SafeCase to a power source (charge-capable USB port or wall charger) using the charging cable provided. The micro USB split connects to the SafeCase and the USB-A side connects to the power source (Figure 23). Once powered on, both the corner indicator LEDs and battery status LEDs will blink green five times. Figure 23: Connect the SafeCase to a power source Section 3: Managing anti-surveillance protections 7 RAISING/LOWERING THE HOOD Raising the hood must take place before capturing images/audio; otherwise, the recorded photos, videos and audio will be indecipherable. Similarly, raising the hood must take place before placing/receiving a phone call; otherwise, the other participant(s) in the call will not be able to understand what youre saying. To raise the devices hood (and change to unprotected mode), place your thumb and forefinger on the silver trim on each side and gently pull upward (Figure 24). To lower the hood (and change back to protected mode) after the call/capture, gently press the top of the hood down (Figure 25). With the SafeCaseTM turned on and the hood in the down position, anti-surveillance protections are automatically engaged; this is the default mode, known as protected mode. In addition to protected mode, there are two additional modes: unprotected mode (used when capturing images/audio and placing/receiving phone calls) and audio passthrough mode (for using Siri with protections still engaged). PROTECTED MODE: FOR FULL PROTECTION Protected mode is the default anti-surveillance mode. In this state:
The audio masking and camera blocking features are engaged. The devices hood is down. The corner indicator LEDs pulse green every 10 seconds. It is normal to hear a soft white noise coming from the SafeCase when in protected mode, a result of the audio masking adapting to the noise level in the environment surrounding the SafeCase/iPhone. While in protected mode, most phone features including apps, videos, emails, music and text messages can still be accessed. UNPROTECTED MODE: FOR PHONE CALLS AND AUDIO/IMAGE CAPTURE Temporarily changing to unprotected mode is necessary for capturing images/audio and placing/
receiving phone calls. In this state:
The intelligent audio masking and camera blocking features are disengaged. The devices hood is up. The corner indicator LEDs pulse red every 10 seconds.
(Left) Figure 24: Gently pull the hood upward to raise
(Right) Figure 25: Press down on the hood to lower 8 AUDIO PASSTHROUGH MODE: FOR USING SIRI Temporarily changing to audio passthrough mode is necessary for using Siri (or another virtual assistant). In this state:
The intelligent audio masking feature is disengaged
(while the camera blocking feature remains engaged). The devices front button is pressed. The hood is down. The corner indicator LEDs blink red. USING THE FRONT BUTTON Using the front button must take place before talking to Siri (with the hood down); otherwise, Siri will not be able to understand your wake words (Hey Siri), questions, commands or responses. To change to audio passthrough mode, press and hold the front button (Figure 26). When finished, release the button (and change back to protected mode). Figure 26: Press and hold the front button 9 2. Look at the audio waveform captured on the screen to confirm that it does not react to the surrounding noise (Figure 30). If necessary, introduce noise into your environment by speaking or making other sounds. If the waveform doesnt react to noise, the audio masking is functioning correctly. a. If desired, you may raise the hood (see: Raising/
lowering the hood) disengaging audio masking to confirm that the audio waveform reacts to the surrounding noise while in unprotected mode. When finished, lower the hood.
