Electric shock hazard:

• Tool is designed to detect  

electromagnetic field emitted from  

Camera Sondes and buried metallic util-

ities. 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 exis-

tence, 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 or death.
