What does it mean when zircon beeps?
calibration error
Most stud finder models will indicate the edges of a stud – only Zircon® Center Finding StudSensor™ tools will indicate the center. If the tool blinks and beeps continuously, there is a calibration error. Using this feature on a regular thickness wall will cause the unit to read studs a bit too wide.

What is the difference between Stud Scan and Deep Scan?
The tool’s StudScan finds wood and metal studs up to 3/4 in. (19 mm) deep. DeepScan mode doubles the scanning depth to 1 1/2 in. The A100 also includes WireWarning Detection, a safety feature that alerts you to the presence of live, unshielded electrical AC wires while scanning for studs.
Why is my stud finder not accurate?
1) Check Your Battery. If your stud finder worked previously, but no longer seems to work, about 9 times out of 10, the problem is a weak battery. Each of these batteries has a printed expiration date, but they are all in different locations on the battery.
