FCC Part 15 Class B Registration Warning

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules.

Hold the tool straight up and down, parallel
to the stud. Do not rotate the tool.

Keep tool flat against the wall and do not
rock or tilt the tool when scanning.

Wallpaper:

The StudSensor 

i

65 functions normally on walls covered with

wallpaper or fabric, unless the materials are metallic foil, contain metallic
fibers, or are still wet after application.

Note: Sensing depth and accuracy can vary due to moisture, content of 
materials, wall texture, and paint.

Textured walls, acoustic ceilings, or uneven
surfaces:

Place thin cardboard on the surface to

be scanned. Calibrate with the cardboard in place,
then begin scanning.

Wood flooring, subflooring, or gypsum 
over plywood sheathing:

Auto Depth Sensing

automatically corrects for target depth in both 
normal and high sensitivity modes

Once an object is located,
mark the location where
the SpotLite illuminates.

Zircon’s AC WireWarning feature works continuously.
When AC voltage is detected, the AC Alert warning
icon will illuminate.

Always start with the scanner placed against the wall, then
press the power button. Wait for beep to confirm calibration
has completed before moving tool.

Slowly slide tool across surface. EDGE 
display will illuminate, indicating 
location of the stud edge.

Continue sliding tool. When the 
center of stud is located with three 
bars on the Signal Strength Indicator,
the buzzer will sound, and the four 
middle bars, CENTER display, and 
SpotLite will illuminate.

In cases of deeper studs (or thicker 
walls) two bars will show on the 
Signal Strength Indicator and only 
the SpotLite and four middle bars will 
illuminate. If you still can’t locate a 
stud, try the next step.

Quickly (within one second) release and 
re-press the power button. The scanner 
will enter the 

High Sensitivity Mode

and the Stud Scan Mode Indication will 
flash continuously. The center of a very 
deep stud will be indicated by the four 
middle bars illuminating.
