Preparing for use
Inserting/replacing
the battery
Note: Remove the foil from battery be-
fore inserting into battery compartment 13 .
Open the battery compartment 13
on the back of the product.
Remove the spent battery, if necessary.
Insert a new 9V block battery into the
battery compartment. Check the po-
larity of the battery during insertion!
Ensure that the band for easy removal
of the battery lies under the 9V block
battery. Press the battery firmly into
battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment again.

pears in the display
2
, replace the batte ry.
With a weak battery you may receive an
inaccurate or false measurement result.
Use
Tip for distance
measurement
In order to avoid measuring errors, please
note the following information:
The measurement is performed by ultra-
sound, which travels from the ultrasonic
sender/ receiver 16 in a conical manner.
The ultrasound is reflected from the target
area and received by the ultrasonic receiver.

14 GB/CY
The product calculates the measured
length (see Fig. F) from the travel time
of the ultrasonic signal.
In order to guarantee an exact measure-
ment, the following conditions should be
maintained (see Fig. F):
- Make sure that the product is always
directed at a right angle towards a flat
surfaced wall (see Fig. F).
- The further you are from the wall, the
wider is the area (a) that the product
requires to do the measurement (see
Fig. G).
- The measuring distance range should
not exceed 0.6 m to 16m.
- E
nsure that there are no objects positio ned
within the measurement area, which co uld
reflect the ultrasound prematurely (see Fig.
H). The conical path of the ultrasound
has to be width of 6m at a length of
16m (see Fig. F).
- The target area must have a smooth
surface, so that the ultrasound can be
well reflected.
- Transparent surfaces, such as glass,
generally reflect the ultrasound.
- The battery must not be empty. An empty
battery is shown in the display 2by
the battery symbol .
- If a definitive measurement is not possible,
the display shows the “Err“ information.
The measurement must then be repeated.

15GB/CY
Steps to do distance
measurement
1. Slide the function switch 9to
“DISTANCE“. The display 2switches
itself on.
You can switch between meter and fe et.
To switch between meter and feet,
press and hold the MODE button 4.
Then press the READ button 6and
release both buttons simultaneously.
When you release the buttons, the
measurement units change.
Note: The measuring unit can also
be changed after any measurement
by following above mentioned step 1.
- Measurements start from the
measurement point 1.
- Should the measurement lie outside
the measurement range, “Err“ or an
illogical number appear in the disp lay.
The measurement range lies between
0,6m and 16 m (see Fig. F).
- Make sure that there is no “Err”
message shown on the display
before any measurement. “Err”
message can always be cleared by
pressing the “MODE” key briefly. If
“Err” message still exists, press the
“MODE” key repeatedly until the
“Err” message is cleared from the
display.
- Hold the product upright towards the
wall to which you wish to measure t he
distance. The ultrasound sender/
receiver 16 must be at a right-angle
to the wall. For this, use the spirit level:
The bubble in the glass 8must

16 GB/CY
stand between the marked lines.
(see Fig. F).
2. Press the READ button 6. The meas-
ured distance will be appeared on
the display 2.
When you hold the READ button 6
pressed down and slowly move the
product over the surface to be meas-
ured, the product will continuously
measure the distances. Measured val-
ues will be shown on the display 2.
Addition of distances
With the product you can add the
measured distances together:
1. Measure the first distance as described
in the section “Steps to do distance
measurement“.
2. Press the +/= button 12 . The mes-
sage “+“ appears in the display 2
and the measured distance in the
row below.
3. Measure the next distance. The new
distance measured is shown in the
upper row of the display.
4. Press the +/= button again. The new
measurement is added to the old in
the lower row.
5. Repeat steps 3 to 4 to add further
measurements.
6. Press the MODE button 4to leave
the addition mode. All the measure-
ments will be deleted.

Locating concealed
objects
Hints: Before using the product for this ta sk,
first test it by locating a metal pipeline or
electrical power cable at a known position.
In cases of doubt, always ask a qualified
building contractor.
Attention!
Should the product find a live wire carry-
ing alternating current, ( ) appears in the
display. Under no circumstances should
you drill at this location!
Danger of electric shock!
Tips on measurement
- The calibration button must remain pressed
during the entire search process (cali-
bration and search).

20 GB/CY
- If you calibrate too closely to the object
or directly on the object, the calibration
can fail. If the calibration fails, the LC
display shows the full intensity and a
long beeping tone sounds or can’t search
any object in the wall.
- Move and hold the device several cen-
timeters further to the right or left of the
previous surface and recalibrate. Start
the search process.
- Repeat several times to ensure the
detection accuracy.
- Incorrect measurements can occur de-
pending on the nature of the examined
wall. Check therefore before every
measurement the position of a known
wooden or metal beam, of a known
void or a known power line. If these are
not detected by the device, the substrate
is not suitable for a search with this
device.
- Avoid touching the LC display during
measurements as it may affect the accu-
racy of the device.
- Please note that power lines can also
be located as metal or as beams. Always
use the additional voltage search, so that
you can exclude any incorrect interpre-
tations.
- Please note that metal beams are also
detected in the Beam search “STUD“
function. If you find a beam and you want
to be sure that it is not a metal beam (or
for example a water pipe), use the addi-
tional Metal search “METAL“.
- Depending on the wall thickness and
material, it is possible that the detector
