# 💡 What role does automatic zero-calibration play in distinguishing between conductive metal and non-conductive wood framing?
Automatic zero-calibration adjusts the sensor threshold to the dielectric properties of your specific wall substrate so background noise does not trigger false alarms during scanning passes.
- Run the unit across bare drywall first and listen for the ready tone before touching the scanner to the actual project area
- Move the device slowly while sweeping sideways over studs since faster motion dilutes signal integrity and lowers depth sensitivity limits
- Check battery health regularly because weak cells reduce magnetic field strength and shorten reliable detection range for thick walls
