Proper calibration is crucial for accurate detection. Calibrate the device before each scan and whenever you move to a new location on the wall.

1. Place the stud finder flat against the wall where you intend to scan, ensuring there are no known studs or metal objects in that immediate area.
2. Press and hold the Scan Button (on the side). The device will emit a short beep, and the display will show a calibration progress bar.
3. Keep the device still until calibration is complete (usually 2-3 seconds). The display will show "CENTER" or a stable reading, indicating it's ready.
4. Do not lift the device from the wall or release the Scan Button during the scanning process.
