places like homes where there are many

metals present. Use the device outdoors, in

open fields.

Do not let another detector or an

electromagnetic device come in close

proximity (10m (33ft.)) to the device.

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.

For Consumers within the European Union: Do

not dispose of this equipment in general

household waste. The crossed wheeled bin

symbol on this equipment indicates this unit

should not be disposed of in general household

waste, but recycled in compliance with local

PARTS and ASSEMBLY

Attach the right/left armrest components to the

S-rod with the bolts and nuts as seen in the

picture. Do not tighten the nuts but rather leave

them loose (these will be tightened after the

system box is attached).

Place the system box on the rail behind the

armrest and push forward. Then secure by

tightening the nuts. Attach the armrest strap

by inserting it through the holes.

1)To attach the telescopic shaft to

the S-rod, first loosen the twist

lock. 2)By holding the metal pin

pressed, insert the telescopic

shaft into the S-rod and click the

pin into its hole. 3)Secure it by

tightening the twist lock. 4)After

adjusting the shaft length to your

height, secure by tightening the

twist lock.

1)Place the washers into the

openings at the end of the

telescopic shaft. 2)Place the shaft

on the coil as shown in the

picture. 3)Secure by tightening

the bolt and the wingnut.

Wrap the coil cable around the

shaft all the way up as shown in

the picture and after inserting it in

the coil input socket underneath

the system box, secure it by

twisting the connector. Pay

attention to not wrap the cable

too tight during this step. Insert

the handle cable in the socket

underneath the system box

(HANDLE) and secure it by

twisting the connector. Finally,

secure the cable by attaching the

clamps at 3 different spots.

CORRECT WAY OF HOLDING

CORRECT WAY OF SWEEPING

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.

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.

BATTERIES

The device comes with 4 AA Alkaline batteries.

Slide and remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the latch. Insert the batteries

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.

For best performance, using AA Alkaline batteries is recommended. You may also use high

quality rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. Rechargeable batteries with higher mAh (capacity)

ratings will provide longer run times.

LOW BATTERY

The battery icon on the LCD panel indicates the battery life status. In addition, a warning

message will appear on the screen when the batteries are low. After the low battery

warning, the batteries will run approximately 3-4 more hours. This runtime will vary based

on the remaining battery charge. Ni-MH batteries have lower voltage so their remaining

runtime will be longer than Alkaline batteries. This does not affect the total runtime.

1- POWER SWITCH:

To turn on the device, press the power switch to (1) position. The startup tone will be heard

and after the FORS Relic logo is displayed for a short period of time, the main screen will

come up on the LCD panel.

2- GROUND TRACKING SWITCH:

When the ground tracking is active (at 1 position), the device will track the changes in

ground and automatically adjust the ground balance to suit. The invisible changes in

ground affects the detection depth as well as the discrimination ability of the device so you

can improve the performance of the device by activating this feature on suitable ground.

You can find more details about ground tracking on page 17.

3- MENU AND SETTINGS BUTTONS:

These buttons allow you to access the menu and scroll through options as well as adjust

device settings.

On the main screen, you can access the menu by pressing one of the up/down/+/- buttons.

You can select the menu options with the up and down button and change the value with

the + (plus) and - (minus). Pressing these buttons in a specific order will result in ''resetting

factory settings'' or ''saving startup settings''. You can find more details about this on page

27-28 under the title FACTORY and STARTUP SETTINGS.

DEVICE INTRODUCTION

CONTROLS

Page 6

If you press and hold any of these buttons at startup, system information including

software version and the serial number of the device will appear on the screen after the

Nokta logo is displayed for a few seconds. This information will stay on the screen as long

as you hold the button pressed. Please have his information ready when you contact your

dealer regarding your device.

4- GROUND BALANCE BUTTON:

Allows you to ground balance manually or automatically before or during your search. By

keeping this button pressed and pumping the coil, you can quickly ground balance the

device at any time. When you press and release the button, you can ground balance

manually by changing the ground balance value on the screen. Please read pages 15-18 for

more information on ground balance.

5- PINPOINT SWITCH:

It is used to find the exact location of the target. Pinpointing saves you digging time by

narrowing down the location of a buried target. Please refer to PINPOINT section on page 22

for more details.

6- LED FLASHLIGHT:

Is used for illumination at night or in dark places. The flashlight will not work when the

device is off. Having the flashlight on will affect power consumption so we recommend to

keep it off when not needed.

7- LED FLASHLIGHT POWER SWITCH:

Is used to turn on/off the flashlight.

You can see all the information you need during searching, ground balancing, and

pinpointing on the main screen. The information is as follows:
