• Do not remove or deface warning labels.
• The hand-held radar scanner must remain in
contact with the wall surface during the entire
scan.
• Optimal operation of the hand-held radar
scanner is possible only when the operating
instructions are read and followed.
• Do not attach any stickers on name plates to
the sensor area on the back of the hand-held
radar scanner. Metal stickers especially could
affect the measurement results.
• Before turning on the hand-held radar scanner,
ensure that the back surface is not moist. If
required, wipe with a dry cloth before scanning.
• Do not expose to extreme temperatures or
variations in temperature. In case of large
variations in temperature, allow the unit to
adjust to ambient temperature before powering
on. Extreme and variations in temperature can
impair the display and accuracy of the tool.
• Static electricity may lead to inaccurate
detection of electrical wires.
WARNING: Do not expose hand-held
radar scanner or battery to excessive
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.
CAUTION: When not in use, place
hand-held radar scanner on its side
on a stable surface where it will not
cause a tripping or falling hazard.
Some tools with large battery packs will
stand upright on the battery pack but
may be easily knocked over.
