• Always place the tool on the wall before pressing the power button. The tool must calibrate to the surface being scanned for successful stud finding. Keep holding the button down while scanning.
- Studs are usually placed on 16" or 24" intervals. Map out several studs on your wall, if possible, so you're sure of their location.
• Make sure you nail or drill in the center of the stud. Most stud finder models will indicate the edges of a stud - only Zircon® Center Finding StudSensor™ tools will indicate the center.
• If the tool blinks and beeps continuously, you have a calibration error. Try scanning the wall again, but start in a different location.
• Use DeepScan® mode only if you need it. Using this feature on a regular thickness wall will cause the unit to read studs a bit too wide. It also disables the calibration error feature.
• The battery compartment cover is also the belt clip. It is intentionally tight so it won't accidentally pop open during normal usage. If you need to remove the belt clip to change the battery, click here for instructions.
