WARNINGS WARNINGS! LEGAL WARNINGS ► When using the device, comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Do not use the device in private premises, historic sites and military zones. Notify the authorities of any historical or cultural findings. WARNINGS ABOUT THE DEVICE ► This is a high-tech electronic device. Do not assemble or use the device before reading the user manual. ► Do not expose the device or the search coil to very hot or cold conditions for extended periods of time.
IMPORTANT Do not use the device indoors. The device will constantly give target signals inside places like homes where there are many metals present. Use the device outdoors, in open fields. IMPORTANT WARNINGS Do not carry any metal objects while using the device. Keep the device away from your shoes while walking. The device may detect the metals on you or inside your shoes as targets. Do not let another detector or an electromagnetic device come in close proximity (10m (33ft.)) to the device.

It protects the search coil from scratches.
ASSEMBLY Insert the coil cable into the shaft. Do not extend the shaft prior to this step! Pull the cable out from the other end of the shaft. Place the washers into the openings on both sides at the end of the extension shaft. After placing the shaft on the coil as shown in the picture, insert the fastening screw through the hole and tighten it using the wingnut.
ASSEMBLY Connect the end connector on the search coil cable with the connector underneath the handle and tighten. 7 NOKTA ENGINEERING Insert the shaft in its socket underneath the handle and start rotating the twist lock. As you rotate the twist lock it will slide down. Before rotating the twist lock all the way, push the shaft up again making sure that it is in place and secure it by tightening the twist lock. To adjust the height of the device, loosen the twist lock on the shaft.
ASSEMBLY Place the system box and the battery in their proper compartments of the system box case. Insert the battery cable through the hole on the case, plug it into the battery input socket underneath the system box and tighten securely. Insert the end connector on either end of the system connection cable into the socket on the handle and tighten securely. Plug the other end of the system connection cable into the coil input socket underneath the system box and tighten securely.
CORRECT WAY OF HOLDING 9 Shaft height is wrong. Shaft height is correct. It is very important to adjust the shaft to your height correctly to be able to search without discomfort and fatigue. Adjust the height of the shaft so that you are standing in an upright position, your arm is relaxed and the search coil is approximately 5cm (~2'') above the ground.
CORRECT WAY OF SWEEPING Wrong search coil angle. Wrong search coil angle. Correct search coil angle. Incorrect way of sweeping. Correct way of sweeping. It is important to keep the search coil parallel to the ground in order to get accurate results. The search coil must be parallel to the ground at all times.
BATTERY The device comes with 8 AA Alkaline batteries and a battery case. Insert the batteries in the case paying attention to the + (plus) and – (minus) poles. When batteries are full, they will provide approximately 25-30 hours of use. Different types or brand of batteries may have different lifetimes. LOW BATTERY: When the batteries are low, the device will produce a warning sound approximately once every minute. The device will shut down automatically 3-4 hours after the warning.

DEVICE INTRODUCTION Headphone Input: To better hear the sounds produced by the device, connect the headphones to the system box. 13 NOKTA ENGINEERING Sensitivity Setting: Is the depth setting of the device. For details please see page 17. Search Mode Knob: Is used to select the search mode as well as turning on/off the device. Ground Balance Knob: Is used to eliminate ground noise. For details please see page 18.
DEVICE INTRODUCTION Search Coil Input Socket: Is the connection point of the coil to the system box. Speaker: Emits sounds produced by the device. Battery Input Socket: Is the connection point of the battery to the system box. Discrimination Indicator: Shows the type of metal detected. For details about discrimination please see page 20.
PRINCIPLES OF SEARCHING It is important to pay attention to the following points before and during search in terms of device performance and getting accurate results: 1- The device operates on the principle of motion. This means that you must move the search coil over the target or the target over the search coil, in order for the device to see it. In other words, metal detection is not possible without moving the search coil.
TURNING ON THE DEVICE AND SETTINGS 1 TURNING ON THE DEVICE Rotate the sensitivity knob to maximum and the ground balance knob to the mid-level. SENSITIVITY GROUND BALANCE To turn on the device, rotate the search mode knob to the desired mode. Turn the same knob to OFF position to when you want to turn off the device. SEARCH MODE When the device is turned on, a melody will be heard and both LEDs on the handle will light up.
TURNING ON THE DEVICE AND SETTINGS 2 SENSITIVITY SETTING Holding the search coil 5cm. above the ground, sweep it right and left. 5cm If the detector emits false signals due to interference, reduce the sensitivity until the signals go away and start searching. SENSITIVITY Sensitivity setting is used to eliminate interferences caused by electromagnetic waves in the surrounding environment.
TURNING ON THE DEVICE AND SETTINGS GROUND BALANCE Especially in mineralized grounds (containing chemicals, salts and minerals), target signal is negatively affected by the ''noise'' caused by ground mineralization. This situation may prevent the detector from getting a clean signal from the target necessary for metal detection and accurate discrimination. Ground balancing is a process through which the metal detector is able to cancel out the negative effects caused by ground mineralization.
SEARCHING AND METAL DETECTION 3 SEARCHING AND METAL DETECTION After the ground balance and sensitivity settings are adjusted, you can start searching by lifting the search coil 5cm. above the ground and sweeping it right and left, keeping it parallel to the ground. 5cm NOTE: You may have to re-adjust the sensitivity and ground balance settings while searching because as you change your location there may be changes in the ground or surrounding electromagnetic interferences as well.
SEARCHING AND METAL DETECTION SEARCH MODES SEARCH MODE SEARCH MODE All Metal: This is the deepest mode of the device. The device will not discriminate metals in this mode. It will produce one warning tone for all metals and the LEDs on the metal discrimination indicator will not light up. Discrimination: In this mode, the device will produce different tones based on metal type. At the same time, the LEDs on the handle will also light up based on metal type.
SEARCHING AND METAL DETECTION Iron OFF: You can use this mode if you want to eliminate iron and similar ferrous metals while searching. When the device detects a ferrous metal in this mode, it will not produce a warning tone and the ferrous LED on the handle will not light up. SEARCH MODE NOTE: Many metals considered to be trash may not produce a ferrous metal signal due to their alloy composition.
