A S SEMB LY (1) After inserting the washers on the lower shaft, place the lower shaft in its location on the search coil. Secure by tightening the screw and nut. Do not overtighten. 4 (2) To join the middle rod with the upper and lower rods, open the lever latches and engage the pieces together. After adjusting the length of the device to your height, press the latches to secure. 5 (3) Wind the search coil cable on the shaft without stretching too much.

BATTERY INFORMATI ON SIMPLEX+ has an internal 2300mAh Lithium Polymer battery. Battery runtime is approximately 12 hours. Factors such as usage of speaker or wired/wireless headphones, display backlight, LED flashlight etc. will affect battery runtime. Charging Charge the SIMPLEX+ before initial use. Charging will take approximately 3 hours.
C ORREC T U S E 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.
Q U IC K GU IDE 1) Assemble the device as per the instructions on page 1. 2) Push the on/off button to turn on the device. 3) When the device is turned on, it will start in the 2-tone Field mode. You can change the mode based on ground conditions. For instance, if you are detecting on wet beach sand, you may want to select the Beach mode. You can also change the frequency of the device on this model. You can find more details on search modes and frequencies further in this manual.
TA R GET ID 10 30 50 70 54 90 TARGET ID is the number produced by the metal detector based on the conductivity of the metals and gives an idea to the user about what the target may be. Target ID is shown with two digits on the display and ranges between 00-99. NOTE: Keep in mind, large targets will ID higher than expected, even though they may be of lower conductance. In some cases, the device may produce multiple IDs for the same target. In other words, the IDs may be jumpy.
SEARC H MODES SIMPLEX+ has 4 search modes designed for different terrains and targets. You can navigate between the modes easily by using the right and left arrow buttons. The selected mode will be highlighted in black. All Metal Different than the other modes, this mode features a threshold tone which is continuously heard in the background. You cannot search in the All Metal mode without ground balancing.
SEARC H MODES Different than the other modes, targets with 0-15 IDs are notched out by default and cannot be changed in order to ignore ferrous metals or ground noise. In this mode, the device produces a medium tone for gold and non-ferrous metals with IDs 16-99. Salt water and alkali grounds are significantly conductive due to high ionization and cause effects similar to that of iron in detectors. These effects may make it impossible to search for metals with a standard detector.
SENS ITIVITY Sensitivity is the depth setting of the device. It is also used to eliminate the ambient electromagnetic signals from the surrounding environment and noise signals transmitted from ground. NOTE: To obtain maximum depth performance, to eliminate the noise caused by electromagnetic interference, try shifting the frequency first. Sensitivity setting consists of 6 levels and is pre-defined for each mode. All modes start at the default setting. They can be manually modified when necessary.
SETT INGS 10 30 50 70 Push the settings button to access all settings. When settings button is pressed, the volume setting, which is the first setting on the settings bar located at the bottom of the screen, will be highlighted in black. Each time you press the settings button, the next setting on the bar will be selected and its value will be displayed on screen. You can change the value using the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons.
SETT INGS 5. If you cannot ground balance, in other words, if no beep sound is produced, it means that either the ground is too conductive or not mineralized or there is a target right below the search coil. In such a case, retry ground balance at a different spot. NOTE: If the ground mineralization is too low, automatic ground balance may fail to work in other modes except for the Beach mode. Manual Ground Balance Allows you to manually modify the ground balance value.
SETT INGS 0-25 25-50 50-70 70-90 black sand Wet salt water or wet alkali soils Wet salt water and wet alkali soils covered with dry layers Regular, low-quality soils Highly magnetic soils, magnetite or maghemite and similar highly mineralized soils, Iron Volume It adjusts or turns off the volume of the low iron tone. It consists of 3 levels and can be adjusted using the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons.
SETT INGS The cursor will appear where you last left it the next time you use the notch discrimination setting. In the notch discrimination setting, all the group of IDs you turned off will be shown with the X and the ones that are not turned off will be shown with the check mark. You can turn off multiple boxes automatically or manually.
SETT INGS A Brightness It enables you to adjust the display and keypad backlight level according to your personal preference. It consists of 5 levels and the 5th level is the auto level (A). At 0 level, when all the boxes are empty, the backlight is off. When set to level A, it lights up only for a short period of time when a target is detected or while navigating the menu and then it goes off. At 1-4 levels, it will be continuously lit.
LARGE OR NEAR-SURFACE TARGETS Targets which are near the surface may give multiple different signals to the device. If you suspect a target near the surface, lift the search coil and swing it more slowly until a single signal is received. FALSE SIGNALS AND REASONS Sometimes, the device may produce signals which are similar to a target signal although no metal target is present. There are various reasons for the false signals received by the device.
Remember this very simple principle as it will save you lots of time: “If the target you detect is not a stone, it can be metal”. The key to detecting targets under mineralized rocks, particularly when positive rocks are in question, is the knowledge of the maximum ID value produced by the surrounding positive rocks. If you are performing a search in the All Metal mode, monitor the ID produced by the device.
! CHECK COIL ICON It indicates an interruption in the search coil transmitter signal. The search coil connector may be unattached, loose or disconnected. If you own another detector with the same coil connector, please be sure that you have not attached the wrong coil by mistake. If none of the above exists, the search coil or its cable may have a defect. If the issue continues when you change the search coil, there may be an issue in the coil control circuit.
