Calibrating the tool
The device can be calibrated anywhere on the wall.
1.
Place the device on the surface of the wall, press the Power Button to
turn on the device.
2.
Press the Scan button to start the calibration, the LCD will appear a
signal strength from strong to weak. The calibration will be completed
when bars decrease and a buzzer beeps one time. (Keep the tool flat
against the wall and begin scanning.)
Note:
1.
It is important to wait for calibration to complete (2–3 seconds) every
time before moving the device.
2.
Move the device slowly while keeping it flat against the wall. Do not
shake or lift the device.
3.
For the best scanning results, it is important to hold the device
correctly and move it correctly when scanning

Important operating tips
For optimum scanning results, it is important to properly hold the device
and move slowly when scanning. The following tips will provide more
accurate scanning results:
•
Hold the handle with your thumb on one side and your fingers on
the other side. Make sure your fingertips are on the handle and
do not touch the surface or the scanning head being scanned.
•
Hold the device steadily, parallel to the studs, and do not rotate
the device.
•
Keep the device flat against the wall, and slowly slide it across
the scanned surface, do not rock, tilt, or press hard the device.
•
Avoid placing your other hand, or any other part of your body, on
the surface being scanned. This will interfere with the
performance of the device.
•
If you receive irregular scanning results, it may be a result of
humidity, moisture within the wall cavity or drywall, or recently
applied paint or wallpaper that hasn’t fully dried. While the
moisture may not always be visible, it will interfere with the
device’s sensors. Please allow a few days for the wall to dry out.
•
Depending on how close the wires or pipes are to the wall
surface, the device may detect them in the same way as studs.
Caution should always be used when nailing, cutting, or drilling in
walls, floors, and ceilings that may contain these items.
•
To avoid accidents, remember that studs or joists are normally
spaced 16 or 24 in. (41 or 61 cm) apart and are 11⁄2 in. (38
