Getting started

•
Open the battery compartment cover (26) and insert 2 AAA batteries according to the correct polarity. Close the cover.
•
Press the Power button (22) to turn the device on or off. The device enters the scanning on the ½" (13mm) depth mode by default.
Calibration
Place the device flat against any surface that is free of studs, metal and AC cables. Turn the device on and select the desired mode. Press and
hold the Scan button (20) until the signal strength bars have decreased and the beeping sound is heard. This indicates successful calibration. Do
not move the device until the calibration is complete. Wait for 3 seconds after the calibration is complete before using the device.
Calibration must be done each time a new mode is selected.
Usage
Stud detection mode
The device can scan the surface for wooden and/or metal studs on the depth of ½" (13mm), 1" (25mm) and 1½" (38m m). To change between
the modes, press the WOOD (Stud mode) button.
Choose the desired mode and complete the calibration. Place the device flat against the examined surface. Slowly move the detector across
the surface in the direction you want to scan. When the device detects the edge of a stud, the signal strength bars (2) start increasing. Keep
moving the device in the direction of the arrow indicator (8 or 14). When the device detects the center of a stud, all of the signal strength bars
are shown, the word "CENTER" appears at the top of the screen, and the bottom of the screen displays signal strength in percent (100%).
Keep moving the device in the same direction until the signal strength bars decrease, and the other arrow appears on the screen. This point
indicates the second edge of the stud.
If you are receiving erratic scanning results, it may be a result of humidity, moisture within the wall cavity or drywall, or recently
applied paint or wallpaper that isn't fully dried.
This stud finder is not designed to scan materials such as: ceramic floor tile, carpeting and padding, plaster walls, foil covered
insulation board, glass, or any other dense material.
Remember that studs are typically placed 16" or 24" (41cm or 61cm) apart and are usually 1½" (38mm) wide. Anything different
might not be a stud.
Metal detection mode
The device can scan the surface for non-ferrous metals at a depth of 2½" (60mm) and for ferrous metals at a depth of 3" (80mm).
Press the METAL (Metal mode) button to select the metal detection mode. Complete the calibration and place the device flat against the
examined surface. Slowly move the detector across the surface in the direction you want to scan. Use the center mark (1) to mark the point
when there are most signal strength bars (2) on the screen (the device will also be steady beeping). Keep moving the device in the same
direction until the signal strength bars decrease. Start moving the device in the opposite direction and mark the point where the signal
strength bars are the fullest. The midpoint between the two marks is the center of a metal object. If the device detects ferrous metal, the
magnet icon (13) appears on the screen. If the device detects non-ferrous metal, the icon changes to a strikethrough magnet (13).
To detect the location of the metal object more precisely, reduce the sensitivity of the device by calibrating it within the two previously
marked points. Calibrating on the surface with detected metal reduces the sensitivity and narrows the search area. After the calibration is
complete, repeat the above-mentioned steps within the two previously marked points. You can reduce the sensitivity of the device multiple
times to narrow the search area even more and locate the edges of a metal object with greater accuracy.
