How to Set the 

SonicMan

 Functions 

All 

SonicMan

 functions have been preset before shipping. These settings can be changed to 

meet the user’s requirements. 

 

10.1  Enter Settings Mode 

While in detection mode, press the [Func.] button

 

10.2  Display Battery Strength 

A 10-level indicator of current battery charge is displayed. 

1)  Press the [ENT] button to move the display to the next 

setting item. 

2)  Press the [Func.] button to return to detection mode. 

 

10.3  Turning ON and OFF the Backlight   

(Factory default is “ON”) 

To set the screen backlight to “ON” and “OFF”: 

1)  Press the [

×

] and [

Ø

] buttons to switch between “ON” and 

“OFF”, which turns the backlight on and off. 

2)  Press the [ENT] button to move to the next setting item. 

3)  Press [Func.] to return to detection mode. 

 

10.4  Setting Leak Level Calculation 

(Factory default is “Auto”)

 

To set whether to enter calculation mode automatically (“Auto”) 
when a reading is taken, or to enter data manually (“Manual”) at 
some other time: 

1) Press 

[

×

] and [

Ø

] to switch between “Auto” and “Manual”. 

2)  Press [ENT] to move the display to the next setting item. 

3)  Press [Func.] to return to detection mode. 

 

10.5  Setting the Automatic Volume Control 

(Factory default is “OFF”) 

When it is turned ON, this feature is designed to protect the ear 
by instantaneously throttling the earphone output volume when 
a sudden loud sound is generated. The earphone volume is 
independent of the sensitivity setting function. Therefore, 
throttling the earphone volume has no influence on the leak 
detection reading. Once the loud sound ceases, the volume 
reverts to its normal setting. However, if the loud sound is 
continuously generated, the earphone volume is repeatedly 
throttled and the sound may grow very small. 

1) Press 

[

×

] and [

Ø

] to switch between “ON” and “OFF”. 

2)  Press [ENT] to move the display to the next setting item. 

3)  Press [Func.] to return to detection mode.
