measuring people and animals.
The product is not intended to be handled by children. Make sure that children do not treat the
product as a toy.
DETECTOR OPERATION
Replacing the battery
Install a new battery before using the detector for the fi rst time or if the display shows the used
battery indicator. To do this, remove the battery cover on the bottom of the detector and remove
the old battery. When replacing the battery, ensure the correct polarity.
CAUTION! Use only alkaline batteries of good quality.
If the battery indicator is visible on display, it means that the device will operate for a maximum of
1 hour. If the battery indicator fl ashes, it means that the device will operate for a maximum of 10
minutes. If the battery indicator fl ashes and the detection indicator is illuminated, it means that the
device cannot operate and the battery should be replaced.
Turning the detector on and off
CAUTION! Make sure that the sensor area is not wet before turning on the detector. Otherwise,
dry the sensor area with a cloth.
To turn on the detector, press the power switch. The device starts in metal detection mode.
In case when 5 minutes have elapsed since pressing any button, the device will automatically turn
off . This will extend the battery replacement period.
Changing the measurement unit
By pressing the detection button and the HOLD button simultaneously, you can change the unit
of detection depth between millimetres and inches.
Audible signal
The audible signal can be enabled or disabled. To do this, press the wood detection and metal
detection buttons simultaneously.
Metal elements detection
Press the metal detection button; the symbol visible on the button will appear on display. Place
the detector on the test surface so that it adheres to it with the underside and slowly slide it over
it. If a metal element is detected, the indication in the form of a measurement ladder will increase
its amplitude, and the percentage indicator will increase its value.
At the point where the measurement indicator shows the highest value, the metal element is lo-
cated exactly below the detector sensor. In this case, the display will show the distance between
the detector sensor and the detected metal object. If a metal element is detected, an audible
signal is emitted. The distance will not be shown if the signal is too weak or the instrument cannot
recognise the metal type. The accuracy of detection depends on the shape, size, position and
surroundings of the metal element.
If a diamagnetic metal is detected, a corresponding indicator will appear on display.
When moving the instrument sideways, a cross indicator will appear, indicating that the detected
metal element is below the sensor centre.
During the detection of metal elements, live wires may also be detected. This will be indicated by
an indicator on display.
CAUTION! Due to the high sensitivity of the measurement, when the wall is thin, or metal objects
are thick, the metal detection area may seem much larger than the actual location. To narrow the
detection, reduce the measurement sensitivity. Press the metal detection simultaneously and
HOLD buttons until a satisfactory sensitivity is visible on display. The device allows setting one of
the four sensitivity levels. The sensitivity will be restored to the highest level when the instrument
is restarted.
Wooden elements detection
Press the wood detection button. The fl ashing symbol visible on the button will appear on display.
