Whether you are hanging pictures, putting up a new set of shelves or getting ready to start an addition, knowing where the studs are in a wall can be extremely handy! And A good stud finder can be the difference between a successful DIY home project and disaster. That is why a stud finder is important.
JAXWQ stud finder uses UPGRADED SMART SENSORS which can sense the change in density in the space behind the wall and locates the stud center with GREAT ACCURACY. You will not worry to drill many error holes on the wall while putting up a TV bracket, shelf unit, or even just a set of coat hooks on drywall.

Stud Scan DetectionThis stud locator has 3 stud scan modes. Deep Scan Mode scans through 2 layers of drywall up to 1.5 in. (38 mm) deep. DeepScan Mode is a higher sensitivity scanning mode that should be used when there are extra layers of wallboard or paneling. To minimize false positives and/or finding other objects further behind the wall that may not be a stud, always start your scan in the 0.5in. or 1 in. StudScan Mode first. After you detect the center of an object, Please Use Metal Scan to determine if the reading in Stud scan mode was a wood stud, metal stud, or pipe. | Metal Scan DetectionJAXWQ wall detector can locate metal studs in StudScan mode, DeepScan mode, and Metal Scan Modes. Since JAXWQ stud finders are looking for a change in density behind drywall, not a particular material, in StudScan and DeepScan Modes the detector will react to metal studs the same as it would for wooden studs. | Wire Warning DetectionWire Warning detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical wiring up to 2 inches (51 mm) deep. For Safety, in all modes, this wall scanner always detects and indicates the Live AC Wire. Note: WireWarning Detection works in both StudScan / DeepScan / MetalScan Modes. The WireWarning Detection Icon will flash when live, unshielded wires are detected. |

Step 1: Calibrate the tool before every scanPlace the whole device against the wall, then press and hold the calibration button( on the side of the tool) to calibrate this tool. Wait for the reducing bars to disappear and beep to confirm calibration has been completed. Note: In stud/deep mode, put it on the wall where you want to detect to calibrate it; In AC/Metal mode, put it in the air to calibrate it. | Step 2: Scan the wallAfter finishing calibration, please release the calibration button. Then move the stud finder along the wall slowly, if you shake or lift the scanner accidentally, the device needs to be re-calibrated. | Step 3: Find the location of the studWhen the signal bar is full and the beep alarm is loudest, it means you have found the center of an object. Mark it with your pencil. Then choose the Metal Scan mode to test whether it is a metal. After you confirm that it is not a metal, it means that you found the center of a stud. (More details refer to the above description of "Metal Scan Detection")Then you can drill it to hang the thing. |
