MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry location to prevent condensation or mold
from forming inside the product.
Do not store the device at temperatures greater than 122º
F (such as on a dashboard or vehicle interior).
BATTERY RECYCLING
Consult the Earth 911 website (www.earth911.com) or your
local waste authority for information regarding available
recycling and/or disposal options.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble batteries or
remove any of their components. All batteries must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Do not discard large
amounts of used batteries together. “Dead” batteries
often have residual charge. When grouped together, these
batteries can become “live” and pose a risk of possible
serious injury
.
Locating studs or joists:
Once calibration is complete, begin to slowly move the
unit in a straight line to the left or right against the wall.
As you near a stud, the graduated display will begin to
light up. When you reach the center of the stud, the dis-
play will fully light up and the word STUD CENTER will
appear at the top.
To mark where center is, depress the button at the bottom
of the unit to make a mark on the wall at the point where
STUD CENTER appeared on the display. This will leave
a small dimple on the wall surface.
