So after inserting the battery, the device most far turn turn (no ring / clock on the arm) and the control dial until the unit beeps and by the red LED begins to glow from all metal objects. Then turn the knob again minimal. Finish the adjustment and the cable locator can also be used! I go every time before and so have quite reliable localized power lines.
For me, as a hobby craftsman who requires only every now and then this line viewfinder, the device is sufficient and ensures starting in some ways, not to dismantle the next power line. Would order again.
