How to use AC mode
Note: If in AC scan mode/Metal scan mode, you need to put the tool in the air to calibrate it.
Step 1: Put the tool in the air and press the ON/OFF button to turn on, then choose AC mode or Metal mode.
Step 2: Press Calibrate Button to start calibration, the decreasing bars will disappear the buzzer will beep one time and the calibration is completed. Then releases the scan button.
Step 3: Place the whole device against the wall, slowly slide the tool across the surface. Mark the location where you get the highest AC indication (the most Middle bars on the screen). (Figure A): If it is a strong target, the top indicated arrow will show, and a steady beep will sound. Continue in the same direction until display bars reduce. Reverse direction and mark the spot where the display bars peak from the reversed direction. The midpoint of the two marks is the location of the center of the live AC wiring. If the unit indicates live electricity over a large area, you can reduce the sensitivity of the tool to refine the scanning area and more accurately locate the live AC wiring by following steps 4 and 5 below.
Step 4: (Figure B) To further pinpoint the location of the live AC wiring, scan the area again. Release the Scan button and then turn the unit back on, this time starting on the wall over one of the previous marks. This will reset the tool to lower sensitivity and narrow the scan area.
Step 5: (Figure C) Scan in both directions as in Step 3. The area indicated should become smaller so you can more precisely identify the location of live AC wires.
