Electric shock hazard:
• Tool is designed to detect
electromagnetic field emitted from
Camera Sondes and buried metallic
utilities. There are buried cables,
pipes, and utilities this instrument
CANNOT detect.
• LOCATING is not an exact science.
The only certain way to be sure of the
existence, location, or depth of buried
utilities is to carefully expose (dig up)
the utility.
• De-energize any circuits in or
around the work area.
• Do not expose tool to rain or moisture.
• Use tool only for intended purpose
as described in this manual. Failure to
observe these warnings could result
in severe injury or death.
Please inspect product
carefully upon receipt.
Included:
• RT8872 Transmitter
