SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not operate the stud sensor in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Use the stud sensor only with the specifically designated batteries. Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of fire.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Use caution when drilling, nailing or cutting into walls, floors and ceilings
which may contain electrical wiring or pipes. These items may be detected by the Stud
Finder in the same manner in which studs are detected. Because studs are normally spaced
16 inches or 24 inches apart and are 1-1/2 inches wide, beware of anything closer together
or of a different width. Always turn off the power when working near electrical wires.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
Remove the battery compartment cover (D) by pressing down in the center of the cover
and pulling back. Insert two fresh AA batteries making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals
correctly. Replace the battery compartment cover.
WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce
this risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.
• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery
and the equipment.
• Do not short battery terminals.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new
batteries of the same brand and type.
• Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.
"Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.
The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and
carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when
transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and
well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit."
CALIBRATION AND SCANNING
1.) Hold unit straight up and down and place flat against wall as shown in Figure 2.
2.) Press in and hold the stud sensor ON/OFF button (C).
a.) The upper red LED (A) will light,
b.) The unit will beep once while it is calibrating,
c.) The bottom green LED (B) will light.
3.) Slide sensor slowly, (Figure 3,) horizontally across surface of wall without lifting or tilting.
4.) The upper red LED will light and a beeper will sound when an edge is detected , mark
that spot (Figure 4).
Repeat this cycle coming from the other direction and again mark the spot where the
upper red LED lights and beeper sounds.
Measure between the two marks made on the wall and the center will coincide with the
center of the stud.
TIPS FOR OPTIMUM USE
• Test batteries before each use. Press and hold the on/off switch until the green LED lights.
Then move your free hand toward the back of the unit. The red light should illuminate and
then go out as you move your hand away from the unit. Replace the batteries if the red LED
does not illuminate.
• Hold stud sensor straight up and down.
• Because studs are normally spaced 16 inches or 24 inches apart and are 1-1/2 inches
wide, beware of anything closer together or of a different width. Doors and windows are
constructed with studs and headers which are closer together.
• Metal or wood studs can be detected through up to 3/4 inch drywall.
• Avoid materials which have inconsistent density such as:
• Carpeting and padding
• Ceramic floor tile
• Wallpaper containing metallic foils or fibers. Generally, surfaces covered with regular
wallpaper or fabric will scan with no difference in function.
• Walls that are freshly painted and are still damp.
• Excessively thick plaster and lath.
