Voltage detection mode
To obtain the most accurate reading, hold the device away from any
voltage source.
1. Press the “Select” button until the display for the voltage detection mode
appears. Hold the device against the wall and briefly press the “TEST/ON”
button. Short tones sound. Move the device across the wall applying a
consistent contact pressure.
2. If the alarm indicator appears, a signal sounds. Stop the device. This
means that it has found a corner of a live cable. Mark the point.

3. Continue moving the device slowly in
the same direction across the wall until
the alarm indicator disappears and the
signal no longer sounds.
Then move in a different direction
to determine the extent of the cable.
See Figure 3.
Note
1. The device cannot detect wires/cables located beyond the device’s
detection depth or covered by plywood.
2. Rubbing the device along or bumping it against the wall can generate
static electricity, which in turn can cause a false reading.
3. Interference from magnetic and electric fields
Since the device reacts to extremely low voltages, the device may be
triggered incorrectly in some cases. For example, if a poorly insulated
cable passes through a damp wall. In this case, you should carry out a
further check using a voltmeter.
Note the following
1. Shielded cables or wiring in metal casings, cladding, metal walls etc.
will not be detected.
2. Proceed with caution when drilling, screwing or cutting into wooden walls
or floors which could contain cables and pipes just below the surface.
3. Always switch off the power supply when working close to power cables.
4. Depending on the distance from the electrical cable or pipe to the wall
surface, the device may detect these objects in the same way as wood.
5. The device will switch off automatically if left idle for more than
20 seconds.
Replacing the battery
If the symbol “
” appears on the display, you must replace the battery.
Remove the battery compartment cover, replace the 9 V battery, connect
it to the cable and fit the battery into the compartment. Close the battery
compartment cover correctly.
