Arrow indicators will appear to guide to the center
of an object. Once the object center is detected,
a center line icon will appear. In addition, the
hand-held radar scanner can be set to beep when
directly centered over an identified object. More
information on turning the sound indication on or off
is in the Menu Options section of the manual. The
alignment lines (Fig. 2, e) on top of the hand-held
radar scanner can then be used to guide marking
the wall.
Confidence Meter
The confidence meter (P) gives a relative indication
of signal strength.
A fully lit confidence meter indicates a strong data
signal and high confidence of the material identified
below the surface.
A partially lit confidence meter indicates a weaker
signal and less confidence of the material identified
below the wall.
To improve the signal strength, follow these tips:
• Scan in a straight line, either horizontal or
vertical.
• Scan uniformly without lifting from the surface of
the wall.
• Always scan SLOWLY to achieve maximum
sensitivity.
• Do not touch the surface being scanned with
your other hand or any other part of the body
as it interferes with scanning.
• Review Detection Through Special Surface
Conditions section of the manual.
Material Identification Window
The material identification window (Q) will give
further detail of the item identified below the wall
surface. Multiple items could be displayed if they
are all directly below the hand-held radar scanner's
position.

Items identified include:
Wood
Plastic / PVC
NOTE: When the hand-held radar scanner is
directly over a live wire, the live electric icon will
appear in the main scanning window (O) and the
live electric icon will blink in the material identification
window (Q).
When the hand-held radar scanner is near, but not
directly over a live wire, the live electric icon will
blink in the material identification window (Q). This
indicates that there is live electric in the vicinity of the
hand-held radar scanner.
Battery Fuel Gauge
The display on the hand-held radar
scanner includes a battery fuel gauge
(R) which consists of four yellow
segments that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the 10.8 V battery
pack. When the level of charge in the
battery is below the usable limit, the last
segment of the battery fuel gauge will
turn red to indicate that the battery will need to be
recharged.
NOTE: The battery fuel gauge is only an indication
of the charge left on the battery pack. It does
not indicate product functionality and is subject
to variation based on product components,
temperature and end-user application.
Tracking Bar
The tracking bar (S) at the bottom of the main
viewing screen gives a macro overview of the
number of objects located during the pre-scan data
mapping process.
