4. Nastavení

4.1 Instalace baterie

The SH501 Wall Detector requires one 9V dry battery (not included) for operation.

1. Vyhledejte kryt přihrádky na baterie na zadní straně zařízení.
2. Posuňte nebo odepněte kryt pro otevření přihrádky.
3. Vložte novou 9V baterii a ujistěte se, že kladný (+) a záporný (-) pól jsou správně zarovnány se značkami uvnitř přihrádky.
4. Bezpečně zavřete kryt bateriového prostoru.

The device's screen will display real-time power consumption, allowing you to monitor battery life.

5. Provoz

5.1 Zapnutí a výběr režimu

1. Press the Power button (often combined with the Mode toggle button) to turn on the device. The LCD screen will light up.
2. Press the Mode toggle button repeatedly to cycle through the available detection modes: Wood (1/2", 1", 1-1/2"), Metal, and AC Live Wire. Select the appropriate mode for your task.

5.2 Postup skenování

For accurate detection, follow these general scanning steps:

1. Place the detector flat against the wall surface.
2. Press and hold the side button (or activation button) to begin scanning.
3. Slowly slide the detector horizontally across the surface. Keep the device flat and maintain constant contact with the wall.
4. Observe the LCD display and listen for audible alerts.
5. When an object is detected, the display will show indicators for direction and signal strength. The audible alarm will increase in frequency as you get closer to the center of the object.
6. Mark the location of the detected object on the wall.
7. For best results, scan the area from multiple directions to confirm the object's position.

5.3 Režimy detekce a hloubky

6. Údržba

• Čištění: Otřete zařízení měkkým, damp tkanina. Nepoužívejte abrazivní čisticí prostředky nebo rozpouštědla.
• Skladování: Store the detector in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
• Výměna baterie: Replace the 9V battery when the low battery indicator appears on the screen or when performance degrades.

7. Řešení problémů

• Bez napájení/Vypnutí obrazovky: Zkontrolujte, zda je 9V baterie správně nainstalována a zda je dostatečně nabitá. V případě potřeby baterii vyměňte.
• Nepřesná čtení: Ensure the device is held flat against the surface and moved slowly. Calibrate the device if possible (refer to specific instructions if available, otherwise try turning off and on). Ensure the correct detection mode is selected for the material you are searching for.
• Bez detekce: Verify the battery is charged. Ensure the surface is suitable for detection (e.g., very thick or irregular surfaces may affect performance).
• Neustálý alarm: This may indicate a large area of detection or interference. Try moving to a different spot to calibrate or re-scan.

9. Uživatelské tipy

I když žádný konkrétní uživatel neviews or Q&A were provided for this manual, here are some general tips for optimal use:

• Calibrate on a Clear Spot: Before scanning, place the detector on a clear section of the wall (known to be free of objects) and press the activation button to allow it to calibrate. This helps ensure accurate readings.
• Pomalu a stabilně: Move the detector slowly and consistently across the surface. Rapid movements can lead to missed detections or inaccurate readings.
• Vícenásobné průchody: For critical applications, make several passes over the same area from different directions to confirm the presence and location of hidden objects.
• Environmentální faktory: High humidity or certain wall materials (e.g., lath and plaster) can sometimes affect detector performance. Test on a known area first if unsure.
• Životnost baterie: Keep a spare 9V battery on hand, especially for longer projects, as battery performance can impact detection accuracy.
