I assume that you are referring to the device that Faber
gives Montag to put in his ear.
The device (referred to as
"the bullet") is about the size and shape of a .22 caliber bullet. It fits in the ear
and people will not necessarily know it's there. It is a two-way communications
device. Faber presumably has some sort of device in his house that communicates with
the bullet. It lets him speak to Montag and it lets him hear whatever is going on
around Montag.
Montag is going to use the device to help
subvert the society he lives in. Faber will, for example, tell him what to say to
people. He will also talk to Montag to help him understand and resist things that
Beatty says to him (that are meant to force Montag to conform). So Faber will kind of
talk Montag through his days, helping him to try to make people doubt the society they
live in.
