Is the trigger being double-
clicked? 

 

Double-click the trigger, with both clicks 
occurring within a 1 second time 
period. 
A double-click that takes longer than 1 
second for both clicks will not turn the 
unit OFF.

 

The unit does not turn 
off, even when the 
power is OFF 
(continued)

 

Is the trigger being pulled all the 
way?

 

Pull the trigger until a “click” is heard.

 

Are the earphones being used 
the ones that were included in 
the 

SonicMan

 set?

 

There may be no sound output if 
earphones other than the included 
earphones are used. Be sure to use 
only the included earphones.

 

Are the earphones inserted 
snugly into the earphone jack?

 

Insert the earphones firmly all the way 
into the earphone jack.

 

Is there any dirt or foreign 
matter in the earphone ear 
piece?

 

Clean the earpiece with a soft, dry 
cloth.

 

No sound can be 
heard through the 
hearphones

 

Is the noise level set too low?

 

Increase the setting to a proper level 
(see section 10.7 “Adjusting the Noise 
Level”).

 

Is the unit in detection mode?

 

Even if the laser pointer is set to ON, if 
the unit is in a mode other than 
detection mode, no laser beam will be 
emitted. Return the unit to detection 
mode and again check the status of the 
laser beam.

 

No laser beam is 
emitted from the laser 
pointer

 

Is the “

” mark displayed on the 

screen?

 

When the laser pointer is ON, the “

” 

mark is displayed on the screen. 
Press the [

’

] button, causing the “

” 

mark to be displayed, and again check 
the status of the laser beam.

 

Automatic sensitivity 
adjustment does not 
function properly

 

Is the trigger being held?

 

The automatic sensitivity adjustment 
only works if the trigger is pulled and 
held.

 

Is the body of the 

SonicMan

 

being moved?

 

If 

SonicMan

 is moved, the sound will 

vary with the adjusted sensitivity. 
Do not move the body during automatic 
sensitivity adjustment.

 

 

Is there any variable noise 
generated in the reading 
direction?

 

When the reading sound varies, The 
adjustment sensitivity also varies.   
Set sensitivity with a read sound that is 
relatively stable.

 

When saving, the 
automatically created 
record No. does not 
begin at 001

 

Has inspection data been saved 
previously?

 

The automatically generated record 
number is one number larger than the 
highest existing record number. 
Using the saved data recall function, 
check the saved data and delete all 
unnecessary data that is found.
