For locating the horizontal batten or wall stud:
Place the instrument against the wall in a
horizontal position (see Figure 2). Repeat the
same procedure for locating a vertical wall stud
but move the instrument in a vertical (top to
bottom) direction.
NOTES FOR STUD SEEKING
• In case of the instrument is placed over a
dense wall surface material, such as concrete
wall, during calibration procedure; the reading
only shows difference of wall density on the
surface. It is actually not a stud.
• If by chance the instrument is placed over the
wall batten or stud during calibration, the other
studs may be hard to detect. It is suggested
that you frequently re-calibrate on various
place on the same wall to avoid the false
readings. To do so, press Scan button once and
repeat the above procedures.
• The stud detection can be carried out normally
on wallpapered walls. However, it may not
function on some types of foil-backed or
metallic fabric surfaces.
• A double width of stud will be detected around
door or window frames as a double batten or
double stud is encountered.
• A solid wood header may exist in some doors.
The stud location will not be found if the
instrument is calibrated over the header.
However, if the unit is calibrated on a normal
wall first and then moved to the header area, it
will indicate the presence of the header.
• If the wall material is especially dense or thick,
the top arrow bar icon may not appear. Instead,
