How to use

Hold the Bosch Truvo flat against the wall surface and switch it on according to the device controls. Slowly move the unit horizontally across the wall while keeping it flush to the surface. Watch the LED indicator to see when the sensor detects a change in material density or a hidden object. Mark detected positions lightly with a pencil to map stud locations or avoid areas with hidden pipes and wiring. Follow any safety instructions in the device manual regarding battery installation and device care.

Recommendations

For best results, calibrate the device on a known empty wall area if the unit supports calibration; scan at a steady speed and repeat passes to confirm detected locations. Avoid relying solely on any single detection—combine Truvo readings with small test holes or additional verification methods before drilling. Keep batteries fresh to ensure consistent sensor performance and store the device in a dry environment when not in use.
