The Schonstedt website has a wealth of information on it, in the form of manuals, videos, training, and other media. We want to make sure you have access to the information you need, to use your Schonstedt locator to its fullest potential. This marks the beginning of a series of articles covering tips to find essential Schonstedt product information online.
In this part, we’ll focus on product manuals. Schonstedt from Radiodetection is committed to making a positive impact on our environment, and as part of this pledge, completely stopped printing product manuals in 2017. This means newly purchased Schonstedt products do not come with a printed manual. But rest assured, access to our product manuals is always at your fingertips.
Welcome Placard
Included with every new Schonstedt is a Welcome Placard, which is a single card with a QR code. Scanning the QR code with your mobile device brings you to our Welcome Page. On this page you can register your product, as well as find downloadable manuals, quick start guides, videos, and access to other relevant information.
This card that goes out with every new Schonstedt product, has a QR code at the back that will guide you to more resources when scanned.

Whether you’re in the field, locator in hand, or at the office just exploring your Schonstedt’s features, remember that the manual you seek is just a QR code scan away. Simply open your smartphone camera and point it at the QR code on your Schonstedt locator. A product-specific support page will instantly load, with all the resources you need.
