• 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.
• Make sure you nail or drill in the centre of the stud. Most stud finder models will indicate the edges of a stud – only Zircon® Centre Finding StudSensor™ tools will indicate the centre.
• If the tool blinks and beeps continuously, there is 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.
• On some models, the battery compartment cover is also the belt clip. It is intentionally tight so it won’t accidentally pop open during normal usage.
