De-Sense button On the top edge of the scanner, there is a large rubber “De-Sense” button. When depressed, this button will reduce the detectors sensitivity by approximately 50%. This is particularly useful when scanning near rebar reinforced floors. The “De-Sense” is only activated as long as the button is depressed.
Lanyard A lanyard is provided with the unit. The small nylon loop can be threaded through the lanyard hole and looped back through itself to secure the unit. The lanyard is tested to withhold approximately 25 pounds of force, before breaking.
