heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
WARNING: Modifications not
authorized by the manufacturer may
void user's authority to operate this
device.
WARNING: The detector alone
should not be relied on exclusively
to locate items below the scanned
surface. Under certain circumstances,
the scanner may not identify all objects
or the exact location of objects. Use
other information sources to help
locate items before penetrating the
surface. Such additional sources include
construction plans, visible points of entry
of pipes and wiring into walls, such as in
a basement; and standard 40 cm (16")
or 60cm (24") stud spacing practices.
WARNING: You should always use
caution when nailing, cutting or drilling
in ceilings, walls and floors that may
contain wiring or pipes near the surface.
Shielded, dead or non-powered wires
will not be detected as live wires.
Remember that studs or joists are
normally spaced 40 cm (16") or 60cm
(24") on centre and are usually 38mm
(1-1/2") in width. Beware of anything
closer together or a different width.
Always turn the power off when working
near electrical wires. Also, shut off gas
and water supplies.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury
and electric shock, always turn off
power when working near electrical
wires. Metal shielded wires or those in
metal conduit will not be detected. Use
extreme caution in these circumstances
or whenever live AC wiring is present.
Test the functionality of the AC, detect
on a well known power supply prior to
measurement.
WARNING: Live wires deeper than
50.8 mm (2") from the surface, in
plastic conduit, behind plywood sheer
wall or metallic wall coverings, cables
operating at DC current or wires used
in telecommunications and computer
systems may not be detected. Wires
that are not live may be detected as
metal objects.
WARNING: Do not use the tool to
detect AC voltage in un-insulated,
exposed or free wires. Do not use as a
substitute for a volt meter.
WARNING: Detection values can
be impaired through certain ambient
conditions. These include the proximity
of other equipment that produce strong
magnetic or electromagnetic fields,
moisture, metallic building materials,
foil laminated insulation materials or
conductive wall paper or tiles. Use of
transmitting systems such as WLAN,
UMTS, radar, transmitting masts
or microwaves can influence the
measurements.
CAUTION: Do not use on humans
or animals. This is not for human or
animal use and can cause injury if used.

Detection Through Special Surface
Conditions
WALLPAPER
The hand-held radar scanner will function normally
on walls covered with wallpaper or fabric, unless the
materials are metallic foil, contain metallic fibers or
are still wet after application.
PLASTER AND LATH
Due to the uneven thickness of plaster, it may be
difficult to locate studs. It may be easier to identify
the metal nail heads in the studs. If the plaster is
reinforced with wire mesh, the hand-held radar
scanner will not be able to reliably detect objects
behind it.
TEXTURED OR ACOUSTICAL WALLS AND CEILINGS
When scanning a wall or ceiling with an uneven
surface, place thin cardboard on the surface and
scan over the cardboard.
WOOD FLOORING, WOOD SUB-FLOORING AND DRYWALL
OVER PLYWOOD
Due to the thickness of these materials, it may
be difficult to detect a wood stud or joist. It may
be easier to detect the metal nails that hold the
materials to the stud or joist.
CARPETING
The hand-held radar scanner cannot detect studs or
joists through carpeting. It may be easier to detect
the metal nails that hold the materials to the stud or
joist.
NOTE: Sensing depth and accuracy can vary due to
moisture, content of the materials, wall texture and
paint.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
Risk of personal injury due to unintentional
contact with current-carrying parts during the
work process.

3. Display scanned objects: Reverse scan direction
to display identified objects.
The pre-scan data mapping process can begin
in any direction. The hand-held radar scanner will
automatically change to displaying objects when the
initial scan direction is reversed.
The hand-held radar scanner can be used either
horizontally or vertically.
During the first pass over the wall surface, the pre-
scan data mapping occurs. The hand-held radar
scanner will automatically sense and calibrate for all
objects below the wall surface. When the direction
of scan is reversed, the hand-held radar scanner will
display the objects identified.
ENGLISH

The hand-held radar scanner can map and analyze
up to a 3meter (9.8foot) section of wall.
SCANNING PROCESS
1. The screen below will indicate that the hand-
held radar scanner is ready to start a new scan.
2. Place the hand-held radar scanner on the wall
to start a new scan.
3. Move the hand-held radar scanner along
the wall surface in a straight line. The screen
below will appear indicating the pre-scan data
mapping is in process.
4. The hand-held radar scanner has a scannable
range of 3meters (9.8feet) of wall section. The
yellow memory bar will fill, indicating how much
of the available range is used. As the distance
limit is approached, the memory bar will turn
red.
5. Reverse scanning direction to read the mapped
data. The main viewing screen below will

Operating Tips
Use only DEWALT 10.8 V XR lithium-ion battery.
Ensure the DEWALT battery is in good working
condition. If the battery fuel gauge (R) on the
main viewing screen has only one red segment
lit, the battery needs to be recharged.
Scan in a straight line, either horizontal or
vertical.
Scan uniformly without lifting from the surface of
the wall.
Always scan SLOWLY to achieve maximum
sensitivity.
Do not touch the surface being scanned with
your other hand or any other part of the body
as it could interfere with scanning.
Refer to construction plans, visible exits of
wires and pipes and construction techniques.
Studs are normally spaced either 40 cm (16") or
60cm (24") on centre and are 38mm (1-1/2")
wide. Doors and windows are often constructed
with studs and headers which are closer
together.
Avoid scanning through materials which have
inconsistent density such as carpet with
padding, excessively thick plaster and lath,
freshly painted walls or metallic wall coverings.
Avoid wearing jewelry such as rings or watches.
The metal may cause inaccurate detection.
Protect against moisture and direct sunlight.
Do not place stickers, decals, paint or name
plates, especially metal ones, on the sensor
area of the back of the tool.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always turn the hand-held
radar scanner off before inserting or
removing the battery pack.
Your DEWALT hand-held radar scanner has been
designed to operate over a long period of time with
a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory
operation depends upon proper tool care and
regular cleaning.
The charger, battery pack and hand-held radar
scanner are not serviceable. There are no
serviceable parts inside.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust off with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To
minimize the risk of eye injury, always
wear proper eye protection when
performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or
other harsh chemicals for cleaning the
non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials
used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild
soap. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
WARNING: Do not apply solvents to
the face as this may cause damage. Do
not clean the infrared lens too vigorously
as this can damage the delicate anti-
reflective coating.
CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect
the charger from the AC outlet before
cleaning. Dirt and grease may be
removed from the exterior of the charger
using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush.
Do not use water or any cleaning
solutions.
