GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
READ THE ENCLOSED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
The EC declaration of conformity (890-011-320.10) will accompany this
manual as a separate booklet when required.
Battery Precautions
• Use only the size and type of battery specified. Do not mix cell
types (e.g. do not use alkaline with rechargeable). Do not use
partly discharged and fully charged cells together (e.g. do not mix old
and new).
• Recharge batteries with charging units specified by the
battery manufacturer. Using an improper charger can overheat and
rupture the battery.
• Properly dispose of the batteries. Exposure to high temperatures can
cause the battery to explode, so do not dispose of in a fire. Some
countries have regulations concerning battery disposal. Please follow
all applicable regulations.
1. Scout Use and Care
• Use equipment only as directed. Do not operate the Scout unless
proper training has been completed and the owners manual read.
• Do not immerse the antennas in water. Store in a dry place. Such
measures reduce the risk of electric shock and instrument damage.
• Check for breakage of parts, and any other conditions that
may affect the Scout's operation. If damaged, have the instrument
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for the Scout. Accessories that may be suitable for
one instrument may become hazardous when used on another.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and grease. Allows
for better control of the instrument.
• Protect against excessive heat. The product should be situated
away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.I
1.1 Service
˚ Diagnostic instrument service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
Provide proper cleaning.
˚ Remove battery before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

1.2 Important Notice
The Scout is a diagnostic tool that senses electromagnetic fields emitted by
objects underground. It is meant to aid the user in locating these objects
by recognizing characteristics of the field lines and displaying them on the
screen. As electromagnetic field lines can be distorted and interfered with it
is important to verify the location of underground objects before digging.
Several utilities may be underground in the same area.
Be sure to follow local guidelines.
Exposing the utility is the only way to verify its existence, location and depth.
Ridge Tool Co., its affiliates and suppliers, will not be liable for any injury or any
direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages sustained or incurred by
reason of the use of the Scout.Several utilities may be underground in the same
area. Be sure to follow local guidelines.
2. Introduction to the Scout
The Scout sonde and line locator uses multi directional antennas and
TM
advanced processing to make pinpointing sondes and tracing buried utility
lines fast, accurate and easy.
2.1 What are Its Unique Features?
Scout's advanced technology gives several unique features over conventional
locators:
• Multi Directional Antenna System.
• Micro Map View.
• Indicate distinct signal characteristics.
2.2 What Does It Do?
The Scout is used above ground to sense electromagnetic fields emitted
from underground or hidden lines (electrical conductors like metal wires
and pipes) or sondes (actively transmitting beacons). When the fields are
simple and undistorted, then the sensed fields are representative of the
buried object. The Scout locates conductive objects emitting a field; it does
not directly sense underground objects.
Electrical fields emitted by buried objects can be of two types; the first type
is emitted by long conductors such as energized wires, inspection camera
pushcables or pipes.
These objects produce a long cylindrical field and this is often referred to as
"Line" tracing.
