You may be encountering static buildup or excessive interference. Move the device to a different spot and re-calibrate while holding it flat against the wall.
Check that the battery is fresh and ensure you are moving the device slowly. The object might be deeper than the device's 25mm (studs) or 50mm (AC) threshold.
To prepare the detector, insert the provided 9V battery into the rear compartment. Always perform a calibration test on an area of the wall where you know there are no hidden objects to ensure the baseline sensitivity is correct for your specific wall material. Move the device slowly and steadily across the surface; moving too fast can lead to inaccurate readings. For care, store the detector in a dry, cool environment when not in use and remove the battery if the device will remain idle for an extended period to prevent leakage. Wipe the sensor surface with a clean, dry cloth to prevent dust buildup from interfering with sensitivity.
