Operating Tips
• Use only D
E
WALT 10.8 V XR lithium-ion battery.
• Ensure the D
E
WALT 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.
