Operating Tips:
1. This Stud Finder is not suitable for use on walls or ceilings insulated with metallic foil/fi ber composition, or on walls of lath and heavy
drag plaster surfaces.
2. It is important to double check the location of the stud with several readings.
3. An object such as wire, pipe, conduit, or braces inside the wall may read as a stud or joist. Before mounting the TV Wall Mount to the
wall, ensure you have located a wooden stud.
4. Extreme care should be exercised when drilling, sawing, or nailing in walls, ceilings, and fl oors, where plumbing or electrical wires may
be located.
5. When the wall is thick or dense, a fast blinking Red LED light will indicate the nearest stud edge.
6. To avoid interference and inaccuracy, keep your free hand away from the unit while operating.
7. After you have determined the spot where you believe the center of the stud to be (using the Stud Finder), hammer a small nail into
that spot to confi rm that you are hammering into solid wood (and not something less dense, like particle board).
Stud Finder Instructions
How to Use:
Step 1 – Calibrating the Stud Finder
Remove the plastic tab from the battery to operate. Place the Stud Finder on the wall. Press and hold down the
Operating Button. The Red LED light is bright and quickly changes to a duller constant light, which means that the
calibration is complete and the unit is ready for use.
Step 2 – Operating Stud Finder
Continue pressing the Operating Button while slowly moving the unit across the wall in one direction. Move the
Stud fi nder from left to right without lifting up or tilting.
Step 3 – Locating the Edge of the Stud
Continue to slide the Stud Finder along the wall. A steady red light will start to blink slowly and then fast. The fast
blinking means the sensor is on top of or near the edge of the stud.
Step 4 – Marking the Edge of the Stud
Use a pencil to mark the edge of the stud.
Step 5 – Locating the Other Edge of the Stud
Release the Operating Button and go to the other side of the stud and repeat the process on the stud in the
opposite direction
Step 6 – Marking the Other Edge of the Stud
Use a pencil to mark the other side of the stud edge. Now both sides of the stud should be marked on the wall.
Step 7 – Marking the Center of the Stud
With a pencil, mark a point in the middle of the two lines. This is the center of the stud.
