5.2 Scanning for Objects
After calibration and mode selection, move the tester slowly across the desired surface from left to right. Maintain firm contact with the wall.
- As the device detects an object, the LCD progress bar will rise, and the percentage akan meningkat.
- When the signal strength is at its peak (100%), the LCD will display a full bar, and the buzzer will alarm continuously, indicating the center of the object.
- Mark the edges of the detected object as the signal strength decreases. The center is typically between these marks.

5.3 Stud Mode Detection
The device offers three depth settings for stud detection:
- 0.39 inches (10 mm) deep
- 0.79 inches (20 mm) deep
- 1.5 inches (38 mm) deep
If you are unsure of the wall thickness, it is recommended to scan in 0.39" mode first, then 0.79" mode, and finally 1.5" mode.

7. Penyelesaian masalah
| Masalah | Kemungkinan Punca | Penyelesaian |
|---|---|---|
| Inaccurate readings or inconsistent detection. | Improper calibration; uneven scanning motion; wall material too thick for selected mode. | Ensure proper calibration on a clear, flat surface. Scan slowly and evenly. Try different depth modes. |
| Screen difficult to read. | Sempit viewing angles of the LCD. | Laraskan anda viewing angle. If space is limited, try turning the finder upside down to get a better angle. |
| Peranti tidak dihidupkan. | Bateri mati atau tidak dipasang dengan betul. | Replace the 9V battery. Ensure it is installed with correct polarity. |
| AC wire not detected. | Wire is shielded; wall material isolates current; wire is too deep. | Ensure the wire is unshielded. Be aware that some materials can block detection. Always use caution and verify with other methods. |
