4.2. Initial Calibration

For accurate results, calibrate the device before each use or when switching detection modes.

1. Press the On-Off button (5) to power on the device.
2. Place the stud finder flat against the wall surface where you intend to scan, ensuring no objects are present directly behind the device.
3. Press the desired mode button (e.g., Multi-function Wall Detector Model button (6)) to select the scanning mode.
4. Hold the device steady until the calibration process is complete, indicated by a series of beeps and a stable display.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. General Scanning Procedure

1. Ensure the device is calibrated as described in Section 4.2.
2. Place the stud finder flat against the wall surface.
3. Slowly slide the device horizontally across the wall. Maintain firm, even pressure. Avoid lifting or tilting the device during scanning.
4. Observe the LCD display (2) and listen for audio alerts (4).
5. When an object is detected, the illuminated ring (1) will change color (e.g., orange, then red), and the display will show indicators such as 'center' and depth.
6. Mark the location of the detected object, especially the center, for accurate work.
