The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that you won't find through typical means like purchasing from traders or scavenging from deceased enemies, unlike the Metal Detector. It's hidden in a specific location linked to Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.
Your journey begins by gathering leads from Wyndham Village on Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. From there, you'll need to embark on a rescue mission to save her. Dr. Garrow is imprisoned deep within the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor.
Reaching the prison camp is no small feat, as it's heavily guarded by Protocol soldiers. To ease your infiltration, consider meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village first. By helping him with tasks like recovering stolen items, you can gain some favor with Protocol, making your mission smoother.

When prepared, head to the Protocol prison camp located on the southern border of Skethermoor. The entrance to the underground prison is at the end of the southernmost road, marked by a large green door.
Navigating the prison involves traversing multiple levels, all while evading or confronting guards and robots. Don't forget that B.A.R.D robots can be dismantled for their **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange.
Continue to the deepest level of the prison, past the dig site area. Dr. Garrow is confined in one of the standalone cells in the main room. To free her, you'll need the Signal Redirector, which is stored in the nearby Storage room on a shelf. Once you secure it, you'll earn the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

The Signal Redirector, crafted by Dr. Garrow, serves as a hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This can disable security systems, unlock storage rooms, and more.
Similar to the Metal Detector, the Signal Redirector will alert you with an icon at the bottom of your screen when you're near a hackable junction box. Follow the needle's direction on the device, and when close enough, the junction box will be highlighted.
To hack, select the ‘Hack’ button to reroute the junction box’s power. If you need to reverse it, simply ‘hack’ the junction box again.
