WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard

• Tool is designed to detect electromagnetic field emitted from camera sondes and buried 

metallic utilities. There are buried cables, pipes and utilities this instrument CANNOT detect.

• Locating is not an exact science. The only certain way to be sure of the existence, location or depth of buried 

utilities is to carefully expose (dig up) the utility.
• De-energize any circuits in or around the work area.
• Do not expose tool to rain or moisture.
• Use tool only for intended purpose as described in this manual.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury, death or property damage.

Disclaimer Of Liability

Jameson shall not be liable to distributor, reseller or any other person for any incidental, indirect, special, 

exemplary or consequential damages, or injury of any type whatsoever and caused directly or indirectly by
