SET-UP
Hold the instrument against the wall surface in a
vertical position (see Figure 1). Press and release
selector switch until the stud icon appears on the
LCD screen. At this moment, auto calibration for
stud detection will start by displaying the
scanning bars from the bottom of the scanning
indicators. This procedure will be complete when
the scanning indicators show a full scale and
then disappear quickly. At the same time, the
scan symbol will display on the LCD screen with
a short “beep” tone. The instrument is now ready
for stud scanning. (See “Notes for Stud Seeking”)
For locating a vertical batten or wall stud:
Place the instrument against the wall in a
vertical orientation (see Figure 1). Move the
instrument horizontally across the wall. As the
instrument moves towards a stud, the scanning
bars Icon will appear progressively from the
bottom. When the full scanning bars Icon with
steady tone sound appears, a stud edge has
been detected. Mark the first spot at the marking
position at the head of the instrument. Continue
moving the instrument in the same direction until
the arrow bar disappears and the sound ceases,
mark the second spot. The stud is now located
and the middle of stud is at the center between
the two marks.
