Hints for optimum use
Detecting studs
◆ Check the area to be detected for regular spacing.
Studs or joists are usually spaced 400 or 600 mm apart,
and are 44 or 47mm in width. Any objects closer together
or of a different width may not be a stud or joist.
Low battery indicator (fig. D)
The LCD screen will display a low battery symbol (19) when
the battery is nearly empty.
◆ Replace the battery on time.
