Informasi Keselamatan

Peringatan Keamanan Penting:

• Sensing depth and accuracy can vary due to factors such as moisture content of materials, wall texture, and paint. Always exercise caution.
• Calibration is essential before each use. Ensure proper calibration for accurate readings.
• In wood mode, do not release the side button during detection to maintain continuous scanning.
• The detector must be re-calibrated when scanning a different region or on different walls to ensure consistent accuracy.
• The device indicates live AC wires in all modes. Always be aware of this warning to prevent drilling into electrical wires.
• Use this tool on interior dry walls only. It is not applicable to stone or metal walls or low-density plasterboard.

Manual Calibration (Stud Mode)

1. Place the tool flat against the wall where you intend to scan.
2. Press and hold the side button. The green light will turn on, and a beep will sound, indicating that manual calibration is ready.
3. Keep the side button pressed throughout the scanning process in stud mode.

Auto Calibration (Metal/AC Mode)

1. For Metal or AC modes, simply short press the corresponding "Metal" or "AC" button while holding the device in the air, away from any surfaces.
2. The green light will turn on, indicating that auto-calibration is complete and the device is ready for use in the selected mode.

1. Perform manual calibration as described above.
2. Slowly slide the tool horizontally across the wall, keeping it in full contact with the surface.
3. When the device approaches a stud, an arrow will appear on the screen indicating the direction of the target. The signal strength bars will increase.
4. When the center of the stud is found, a steady beep will sound, the indicator light will turn red, and the display will show "CENTER".
5. Mark the location with a pencil.

Metal Scan Mode

This mode detects ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects, such as pipes or rebar.

• Deteksi Logam: Can detect metal objects up to 1-3/8 inches (60mm) deep.

AC Wire Scan Mode

This mode identifies live unshielded AC electrical wires.

• Pemindaian AC: Can detect live AC wires up to 2 inches (51mm) deep.
