Turning the Bluetooth® connection On/Off (this setting is NOT available in the
LITE version):
1. Press the Power & Settings Button once. Select `’Options” in the settings
and press the Ground Balance / Confirm button. The first setting Bluetooth®
will be selected.
The device will search for the headphones it has been paired with initially
and try to connect to those. This will prevent the device from connecting to
other Bluetooth® devices when the Bluetooth® setting is on. If you want to
pair the device with different Bluetooth® headphones (other than those it was
initially paired with) you must perform a factory reset (this will also affect
all your other settings).
Once it pairs with any Bluetooth® headphones (Nokta BT Headphones or other),
one of the icons below will be displayed in the info section:
Standard Bluetooth® headphones connected.
aptXTM Low Latency headphones connected.
4 99
2. You can turn on or off the Bluetooth® connection using the plus (+) and
minus (-) buttons. When it’s off, the box will be displayed in white, when
it’s on, it will be in black. When the Bluetooth® connection is enabled, you
can wait to go back to the main screen (approximately 10 seconds) or press the
Power & Settings button. 3. When the Bluetooth® connection is turned on, the
Bluetooth® icon will start blinking in the middle of the screen with 3 dots.
The Bluetooth® connection will work as long as the system box of the device is
not submerged in the water. In other words, you can use your wireless
headphones while searching in shallow water with the coil submerged
underwater. Please remember though that the wireless headphones should not
contact with water.
In case of the system box being submerged underwater, the wireless connection
will not work. In this case, you need to purchase our optional waterproof
headphones for land and underwater use. If you will not submerge the
headphones underwater but just the system box, then you can also purchase our
Nokta Koss Headphones with waterproof connector.
For land use only, you can also purchase our optional headphones adapter
should you want to use the SIMPLEX with your own wired headphones.
For more information on the Nokta BT Headphones, please refer to the user
guide supplied with the headphones.

CORRECT USE
Shaft height is wrong
It is very important to adjust the shaft to your height correctly to be able
to search without discomfort and fatigue.
CORRECT WAY OF SWEEPING
Wrong search coil angle
Correct search coil angle
Incorrect way of sweeping It is important to keep the search coil parallel to
the ground in order to get accurate results. Shaft height is correct 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 5 cm (~2”) above the
ground.
Correct way of sweeping The search coil must be parallel to the ground at all
times.

QUICK GUIDE
-
Assemble the device as per the instructions on page 2.
-
Press the Power & Settings Button once to turn on the device.
-
You can increase the sensitivity if needed. Increasing the sensitivity will offer you greater depth. However, if the surroundings or the ground cause excessive noise in the device, you need to lower the sensitivity setting.
4 99
25
-
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 find more details on search modes further in this manual.
-
Testing the device with various metals would be helpful for getting familiar with the sounds produced by the device.
-
Use the Notch Discrimination setting to eliminate unwanted metals from detection such as trash. SIMPLEX’s Notch Discrimination consists of 50 small boxes shown under the TARGET ID scale. Each box represents two IDs. A single ID or multiple IDs can be rejected or accepted based upon your preference.
4 99
25
- If you are detecting in a very trashy area and the device is getting too many iron signals, instead of Notch Discrimination, you can use the Tone Volume setting to lower or completely turn off the volume of ferrous metals. This will provide more depth (this setting is available in the ULTRA version only).

TARGET ID
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
01-99.
4 99
56 25
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. This
may result from several factors. Target orientation, depth, purity of the
metal, corrosion, mineralization level of the soil etc. Even the direction of
the search coil swing may cause the device to generate multiple IDs.
In some cases, the device may fail to provide any ID. The device needs to
receive a strong and a clear signal from the target in order to provide an ID.
Therefore, it may not be able to provide an ID for targets at fringe depths or
smaller targets even if the device detects them.
Keep in mind that target IDs are “probable”, in other words, estimated values
and it would not be possible to know the properties of a buried object exactly
until it is dug out.
IDs of non-ferrous metals such as copper, silver, aluminum and lead are high.
Target ID range of gold is wide and may fall within the same range of metal
wastes such as iron, foil, screw caps, and pull tabs. Therefore, if you are
looking for gold targets, digging out some trash metals is expected.
Coins searched throughout the world are made of different metals and in
different sizes in different geographical locations and historical eras.
Therefore, in order to learn the Target IDs of the coins in a specific zone,
it is suggested to perform a test with the samples of such coins, if possible.
It may take some time and experience to make best use of the Target ID feature
in your search area. Different brands and models of detectors produce
different target ID numbers. The numbers vary even more depending on target
depth, ground mineralization, and adjacent metals. But after some practice,
you will quickly become comfortable with the meanings of the SIMPLEX’s Target
IDs.

SEARCH MODES
SIMPLEX ULTRA
4 99
SIMPLEX BT
12
SIMPLEX LITE
SIMPLEX has different number of search modes based on the version but all designed for different terrains and targets. There are 6 search modes in the ULTRA, 5 in the BT and 4 in the LITE version. You can navigate between the modes easily by using the right and left arrow buttons. The selected mode will be highlighted in black.
Field
(
SIMPLEX LITE/BT/ULTRA)
Recommended especially for relic hunting. It produces good results particularly on clean sites which do not contain waste metal. More depth can be obtained on sites which are rocky or trashy, by using the notch discrimination setting and swinging the search coil more slowly (one right/left pass per approximately 1 second).
In this mode, the device produces a low tone for ferrous targets with IDs between and including 01 and 14. For non-ferrous targets with IDs 15-99, it produces a higher tone which increases in pitch as the coil approaches the target.
PARK MODES
Designed for coin and jewelry hunting in urban areas and parks where there are
lots of modern trash (aluminum foil, pull-tabs, bottle caps etc.) present.
SIMPLEX LITE Park
In this mode, the device produces a low tone for ferrous targets with 01-14
IDs, a medium tone for gold and non-ferrous metals with IDs 15-41 and a high
tone for non-ferrous metals with IDs 42-99 such as silver, brass and copper.
SIMPLEX BT
Park 1
1
In this mode, the device produces a low tone for ferrous targets with 0-14 IDs, a medium
tone for gold and non-ferrous metals with
IDs 15-69 and a high tone for non-ferrous
metals with IDs 70-99 such as silver, brass and copper.
It is relatively deeper but a bit slower than Park 2 mode.
Park 2
2
In this mode, the device produces a low tone for ferrous targets with 0-14 IDs, a medium
tone for gold and non-ferrous metals with
IDs 15-41 and a high tone for non-ferrous
metals with IDs 42-99 such as silver, brass and copper.
SIMPLEX ULTRA Park
In this mode, the device produces a low tone for ferrous targets with 0-14
IDs, a medium tone for gold and non-ferrous metals with IDs 15-69 and a high
tone for non-ferrous metals with IDs 70-99 such as silver, brass and copper.
The Park mode is set to Recovery Speed 3 by default. You can change the Recovery Speed, Tone Breaks as well as the Tone Frequency manually. For detailed information, please refer to the `’Settings” section of the manual (page 16).
11
Beach
(
SIMPLEX LITE/BT/ULTRA)
This is a special mode of the SIMPLEX developed for conductive grounds (salty wet sand beach, grounds with alkali soil etc.). The feature of this mode presents the ability to ignore iron and similar targets in this group and to be able to perform ground balance on any type of ground. While the device performs ground balance in the range of 20-99.9 automatically in the other discrimination modes, the device ground balances in the range of 0-99.9 in this mode. This enables easier ground balancing on conductive grounds where normally ground balance cannot be performed at all or performed with difficulty.
Different than the other modes, targets with 0-14 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 15-99.
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. Existence of an iron elimination feature in a detector can improve the situation but may not be sufficient.
SIMPLEX’s beach mode eliminates such effects and ground noise. Aspects to be taken into consideration while searching on conductive grounds are explained in more detail in the section titled Detection on the Beach and Underwater.
All Metal
(
SIMPLEX LITE/BT/ULTRA)
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.
In this mode, the device does not discriminate targets and detects them all (metals, mineralized rocks etc.). ID of the detected target is shown on the display (except for negative hot rocks) and the same audio tone is provided for all targets. The audio tone increases in pitch as the coil approaches the target.
In the All Metal mode, search is performed with a continuous humming sound in the background, also referred to as the threshold sound. The loudness of this hum directly impacts the detection depth of smaller and deeper targets and it is adjusted by the Threshold setting. If the threshold is set too high, a weak target signal may not be heard. On the contrary, if the threshold is too low, you give up the depth advantage this setting offers. In other words, weak signals of smaller or deeper targets may be missed. It is recommended for average users to leave this setting at its default value and for experienced users to adjust to the highest level where they can still hear the weak target signals.
We recommend using the All Metal Mode when discrimination is not important and not using it in heavy trash areas or areas containing many hot rocks.
4-Tone (SIMPLEX ULTRA)
( SIMPLEX ULTRA)
4
In this mode, the device produces a low tone for ferrous targets with 0-14 IDs, a medium
tone for gold and non-ferrous metals with
IDs 15-70, a medium-high tone for metals
with 71-80 IDs, and a high tone for non-ferrous metals
with IDs 81-99.
The 4-Tone mode is set to Recovery Speed 3 by default. You can change the Recovery Speed, Tone Breaks as well as the Tone Frequency manually. For detailed information, please refer to the `’Settings” section of the manual (page 16).
99-Tone
( SIMPLEX ULTRA)
99
Multi-tone discrimination mode designed for coin hunting in various mineralization. In this
mode, the device produces a low tone for
ferrous targets with 0-14 IDs. For targets
with IDs greater than 14, the device will produce a
different tone for each ID. The tone will be higher in
pitch as the conductivity of the metal increases and
vice versa.
The 99-Tone mode is set to Recovery Speed 3 by default. You can change the Recovery Speed. For detailed information, please refer to the `’Settings” section of the manual (page 16).
12
SENSITIVITY
Sensitivity is the depth setting of the device. It is also used to eliminate
the ambient
25 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 30 levels and is predefined for each mode. All
modes start at the default setting. They can be manually modified when
necessary. Sensitivity adjustment applies to the selected mode; the modified
setting does not affect the sensitivity setting of the other modes.
Sensitivity setting is a personal preference. However, It is important to set
the sensitivity to the highest level possible where no major popping sounds
are heard to avoid missing smaller and deeper targets. For example; if the
noise level is suitable for searching and is the same at level 25 and 30, then
30 should be preferred.
You can increase and lower the setting by using the (+) and (-) buttons on the
main screen. The bar on the left indicates the level of sensitivity.
TARGET DEPTH
The device provides an estimated target depth according to the signal strength
during detection.
Depth Indicator: It shows the target’s proximity to the surface in 5 levels
during detection. As the target gets closer, the levels decrease and vice
versa.
Shallow Target
Deep Target
Because each mode of the SIMPLEX has different depth, the depth indicator will
display a different depth level for the same target in different modes.
Depth detection is adjusted presuming that the target is a 2.5 cm (1”) coin.
Actual depth varies according to the size of the target. For instance, the
detector will indicate more depth for a target smaller than a 2.5 cm (1”) coin
and less depth for a larger target.
4 99
25
13
GROUND BALANCE
SIMPLEX is designed to work without ground balancing in Field and Park modes
on most terrains. However, for experienced users and on highly mineralized
grounds, ground balancing will bring extra depth and stability to the device.
Ground balance can be performed in two ways with the SIMPLEX: Automatic and
Manual. When you press the Ground Balance / Confirm button, the device will
switch to All Metal mode automatically regardless of the selected search mode
and the threshold will be heard.
4 99
90.0
2. Press and hold down the Ground Balance / Confirm button and start pumping
the search coil up and down from about 15-20 cm (~6”- 8”) above the ground
down to 3 cm (~1”) off the ground with smooth movements and keeping it
parallel to the ground.
15 – 20 cm
3 cm
3. Continue until a beep, indicating the completion of ground balance, is
heard. Based on ground conditions, it usually takes about 2-4 pumps for the
ground balance to be completed.
4. Upon completion of the ground balance, ground balance value is shown on
the display. The device continues to ground balance and produce a beep sound
as long as you keep pumping the coil. In order to ensure that the ground
balance is proper, ground balance at least 2-3 times and check the ground
balance values on the display. In general, the difference between the values
shall not be higher than 1-2 numbers.
Automatic Ground Balance
Automatic ground balance is performed as follows in all search modes:
1. Find a spot where there is no metal.
4 99
42.3
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.
14
Manual Ground Balance
Allows you to manually modify the ground balance value. It is not preferred
mostly because it takes time. However, it is the preferred option in cases
where automatic ground balance cannot be performed or fine tuning is necessary
for the automatic ground balance value.
SIMPLEX is designed to allow for automatic ground balancing conveniently on
any type of ground. However, the ground may not be suitable for automatic
ground balancing in some cases and the device cannot ground balance on such
grounds. For instance, wet beach sand, soils containing alkali or salty water,
trashy sites, ploughed fields, highly mineralized grounds and grounds with
very low mineralization are not suitable for automatic ground balance. In such
terrains, you can try manual ground balancing. However, manual ground balance
requires a skill which develops over time through practice.
To perform manual ground balance:
-
Find a clear spot without metals and press the Ground Balance / Confirm button once.
-
You need to listen to the sounds coming from the ground in order to perform manual ground balance. Pump the search coil up and down from about 15-20 cm (~6”- 8”) above the ground down to 3 cm (~1”) off the ground with smooth movements and keeping it parallel to the ground.
15 – 20 cm -
The ground balance value will be shown on the display and remain there for a moment. You can return to the ground balance screen by pressing the Ground Balance / Confirm button again if the screen switches.
Manual ground balance functions within the range of 0-99.9. Press plus (+) or minus (-) buttons to increase or decrease the ground balance value, respectively. If the buttons are pressed once at a time, the values count one by one and if they are held down, the values will change quickly. -
Repeat the above procedure until the sound heard from the ground is eliminated.
The sound may not be eliminated completely in some areas. In these cases, listen to the sounds produced when moving the search coil towards and away from the ground to check if the ground balance is correct. If there is no difference between the two sounds then the ground balance is set properly.
IMPORTANT! Experienced detectorists adjust the ground balance setting to a slightly positive response (weak but audible sound is produced when moving the search coil closer to ground). This method may produce favorable results for experienced users in certain fields where small targets are searched for.
3 cm
If the sound gets higher when lifting off the search coil above the ground,
the ground balance value is too low, in other words, the effect from the
ground is negative and the ground balance value needs to be increased by using
the plus ( + ) button. On the other hand, if the sound gets higher when
lowering the search coil to the ground, the ground balance value is too high,
in other words, the effect from the ground is positive and the ground balance
value needs to decreased by using the minus (-) button.
Ground Balance Value
Ground balance value provides information about the ground you are searching
on. Some typical ground types are as follows:
0-25 Wet salt water or wet alkali soils.
25-50 Wet salt water and wet alkali soils covered with dry layers.
50-70 Regular, low-quality soils.
70-90 Highly magnetic soils, magnetite or maghemite and similar highly
mineralized soils, black sand.

SETTINGS
Press the Power & Settings button to access all settings. When the Power &
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 displayed in a
black window. Each time you press the right or left 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.
When you turn off and on the device it will start with the last volume level
you chose. This setting is common to all modes; changes will take effect in
all modes.
When you plug in any wired headphones to SIMPLEX, a headphone icon will appear
in the settings and main screen. The volume level will be indicated with boxes
with dots instead of black boxes.
4 99
Because the volume level affects power consumption,
we recommend you not to increase it more than
necessary.
Notch Discrimination

main settings or go back to the main screen by pressing the Power & Settings
button. Iron Off setting cannot be used in the All Metal and Beach modes and
thus cannot be selected.
18
Frequency Shift
It is used to eliminate the electromagnetic interference that the device
receives from another detector which operates in the same frequency range
nearby or from the surroundings. If too much noise is received when the search
coil is lifted in the air, this may be caused by the local electromagnetic
signals or excessive gain settings.
To eliminate the noise caused by electromagnetic interference, try shifting
the frequency first before lowering the sensitivity to obtain maximum depth
performance. Frequency shift consists 3 small steps (F1-F2-F3). Default
setting is F2 which is the central frequency. The selected frequency will be
highlighted in black.
To shift the frequency, after selecting the Frequency Shift in the settings
menu, use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons.
Threshold
In the All Metal mode, search is performed with a continuous humming sound in
the background, also referred to as the threshold sound. The loudness of this
hum directly impacts the detection depth of smaller and deeper targets and it
is adjusted by the threshold setting. If the threshold is set too high, a weak
target signal may not be heard. On the contrary, if the threshold is too low,
you give up the depth advantage this setting offers. In other words, weak
signals of smaller or deeper targets may be missed. It is recommended for
average users to leave this setting at its default value and for experienced
users to adjust to the highest level where they can still hear the weak target
signals.
You can adjust the threshold setting between -50 +50 based on ground
conditions. To adjust the Threshold setting, use the plus (+) and minus (-)
buttons after selecting the Threshold in the settings menu.
4 99

0
This setting is common in all modes; change made in any mode also applies to
the other modes.
IMPORTANT! Frequency shift may impair performance. Therefore, it is suggested
that you do not shift the frequency unless it is necessary.
Threshold setting can only be used in the All Metal mode and thus cannot be selected in other modes.

OPTIONS
In all the versions of the SIMPLEX, to access the Options, press the Power &
Settings button to go into settings and then use the right and left buttons to
select the Options. Next, you can press the Ground Balance / Confirm button to
access the upper settings.
For more detailed info about the wireless headphones, please read the
instructions included with the headphones.
The Bluetooth® setting is restored to the final saved setting when the device
is turned off and on again. This setting is common in all modes; change made
in any mode also applies to the other modes.
4 99
Vibration
This feature provides feedback to the user by producing a vibration effect
when a target is detected. It can be used independently or together with the
audio response. When audio response is disabled, all responses during target
detection are provided to the user as vibration only.
Once you are in the upper settings, you can use the right and left buttons to
select any setting you want.
While in the upper settings, you can press the Pinpoint / Back button to go
back to the main settings or go back to the main screen by pressing the Power
& Settings button.
When the Vibration is turned on, the device provides short vibration signals
upon target detection. The magnitude of the vibration effect can vary
according to the depth of the target and the swinging speed. This setting is
common in all search modes.
To turn on or off the Vibration, after selecting vibration in the settings
menu, use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons. When it is off, the box will be
highlighted in black and when it is on, it will be white.
Bluetooth® (
BT/ULTRA)
This setting, which is not available in the LITE version, is used to turn on and off the Bluetooth® headphones connection.
4 99
After choosing the Bluetooth® connection setting, you can turn on or off the connection with the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons. When it is off, the box will be highlighted in black and when it is on, it will be white.
4 99
Vibration may not be felt in the All Metal mode with weak signals; it will be
felt as the signal gets stronger. In other words, vibration does not start at
the depth where the audio tones are heard but at a lesser depth. Therefore, if
you are detecting with vibration only and audio tones are off, you can miss
weaker and deeper signals.
NOTE: It is recommended that you swing the detector more slowly while using
the vibration to prevent missing targets.
20
The vibration setting is restored to the final saved setting when the device is turned off and on again. This setting is common in all modes; change made in any mode also applies to the other modes.
4 99
Brightness
It enables you to adjust the display and keypad backlight level according to
your personal preference. It works in 2 different ways: Continuously or
automatically meaning the backlight lights up only for a short period of time
when a target is detected or while navigating the menu and then it goes off.
The default setting is automatic.
To adjust the Brightness, use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons. The dotted boxes indicate the automatic backlight level and the solid ones indicate the continuous backlight level. To switch from automatic to continuous, keep pressing the plus (+) or the minus (-) button. When the box is not selected, it means that the backlight is off. The continuous operation of the backlight will affect power consumption, which is not recommended.
The LED Flashlight will always revert back to off position when the device is
turned off and on again. This setting is common in all modes; change made in
any mode also applies to the other modes.
LED Flashlight does not operate when the device is off. It is recommended to
turn it on only when necessary since its operation consumes extra battery
power.
4 99
Save and Factory Defaults
SIMPLEX will save all settings automatically once you turn your detector off
and on again except for the ones listed below:
Ground Balance, Iron Off, Ground Suppressor, Frequency Shift and LED Flashlight.
To revert back to factory defaults, press the plus (+) or the minus (-) button once. After hearing 3 beeps, the device will revert back to factory defaults and go back to the main screen.
The backlight setting is restored to the final saved setting when the device
is turned off and on again. This setting is common in all modes; change made
in any mode also applies to the other modes.
LED Flashlight
It is the headlight used for lighting the area you are scanning while
detecting at night or in dark locations. To turn on or off the LED Flashlight,
after selecting it in the settings menu, use the plus (+) and minus (-)
buttons.

SETTINGS FOR ULTRA VERSION ONLY
Coin/Relic ID Scale
By using this feature, you can differentiate the Target ID scale according to
the type of target you’re looking for. If you are a coin hunter, using the
Coin ID Scale and if you are a relic hunter, using the Relic ID Scale will
enable you get more stable IDs. The default one is the Coin ID Scale.
In the coin option, the ferrous ID range is 01-14 and in the relic one it is
01-39. In other words, when the Coin ID Scale is selected, the device will
produce a ferrous tone for targets with 0-14 IDs and a nonferrous tone for
those with 15-99 IDs. When Relic ID Scale is selected, the device will produce
a ferrous tone for targets with 01-39 IDs and a non-ferrous tone for those
with 40-99 IDs.
Keep in mind that the ID will differ for the same target between these 2
options!
To use this setting, after pressing the Power & Settings button to go into
settings, use the right and left buttons to select the Discrimination setting.
Press the Ground Balance / Confirm button to access the upper settings. Using
the right and left buttons, select the Coin/Relic ID Scale setting which is
the third setting. You can switch between the two options using the plus (+)
and minus (-) buttons.
Target ID Depth
Adjusts the depth level that the device displays an ID for a detected target.
It consists of 3 levels: L (Low), M (Medium), H (High). Factory default is set
to `’M”. The lower the ID depth level is, the higher the ID accuracy and vice
versa. At the high level, the IDs may become jumpy.
To use this setting, after pressing the Power & Settings button to go into
settings, use the right and left buttons to select the Discrimination setting.
Press the Ground Balance / Confirm button to access the upper settings. Using
the right and left buttons, select the Target ID Depth setting which is the
fourth setting. You can adjust the ID depth level using the plus (+) and minus
(-) buttons.

This setting cannot be used in the All Metal mode and thus cannot be selected.
Recovery Speed
The Recovery Speed setting adjusts the speed of target response. It allows for
separation between multiple targets in close proximity. Recovery Speed setting
enables you to detect smaller targets among trash or ferrous targets. This
setting can be adjusted between 1 and 5 with 1 being the slowest and 5 being
the fastest.
This setting is restored to the final saved setting when the device is turned off and on again. This setting is common in all modes; change made in any mode also applies to the other modes.
Recovery Speed setting only affects the mode currently selected; changes made in one mode do not affect the others. When the Recovery Speed setting is set to a low number, the ability of the device to detect targets in close proximity decreases but its depth increases. Similarly, a high Recovery Speed setting (for example 5) will increase the ability of the device to detect targets in close proximity but will decrease the depth. It is recommended that you practice with different metals placed close to each other before starting to use this setting.
22
To adjust the Recovery Speed, press the Power & Settings button. Then use the
right and left buttons to select the Recovery Setting. The current value will
be displayed on the screen. Adjust it by using the plus (+) and minus (-)
buttons.

Tone Break
The Tone Break setting allows you to move the point that separates the target
zones.
The default Tone Break points may not provide you with the distinction you
need between the targets you are looking for. With the Tone Break setting, you
can adjust the start/end points of target zones.
Tone Break setting only affects the mode currently selected; changes made in
one mode do not affect the others.
Once you are in the upper tone settings, using the right and left buttons,
select the Tone Break setting. The Tone Break point of the selected zone will
be displayed on screen. The selected zone will be displayed with a closed

Especially in trashy sites, this setting will enable you to detect
conveniently by turning off or lowering the volume of unwanted targets’ audio
responses.
The Tone Volume can be adjusted for each target zone. For example; in the
Field mode, because there are two zones, you can determine 2 different volume
levels and in 4-Tone mode, you can adjust the volume of each of the 4 zones
differently.
You can change the Tone Volume using the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons. To
select the next zone, press the Ground Balance / Confirm button.
Once you are done, you can go back to main settings by pressing the Pinpoint /

IMPORTANT! This feature will work on deeper targets only! You will not be able
to lower the volume of the shallow targets. For these targets, you can turn
the volume off completely instead.
24
PINPOINT
Pinpoint is to find the center or the exact location of a detected target.
SIMPLEX is a motion detector. In other words, you are required to move the
search coil over the target or the target over the search coil in order for
the device to detect the target. The pinpoint mode is a non-motion mode. The
device continues to give a signal when the search coil is kept stationary over
the target.
When the pinpoint button is pressed and held down, a graphics consisting of a
dot surrounded by 4 circles will appear in the middle of the screen. As the
target is approached, the circles will disappear one by one and when the
center of the target is reached, only the dot will be left on screen. In the
pinpoint mode, the signal tone increases in pitch and volume as the search
coil approaches the target. In this mode, the device does not discriminate or
give target IDs.
To perform pinpoint:
-
After a target is detected, move the search coil aside where there is no target response and push the pinpoint button.
-
Signal sound becomes stronger and changes in pitch while getting closer to the target center and the circles start disappearing in the pinpoint graphics.
-
Mark the position which provides the loudest sound using a tool or your foot.
-
Repeat the above procedure by changing your direction 90°. Actions to be performed from a couple of different directions will narrow the target area and provide you with the most exact details of the target location.
4 99
56 30
- Keep the button pressed down and bring the search coil closer to the target slowly and parallel to the ground.
NOTE: Inexperienced users may put the search coil on the ground, press the pinpoint button and then scan over the target until they get experienced to perform the above pinpointing method.
25
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. The most common ones are ground mineralization
or rocks with high mineral content, surrounding electromagnetic signals,
operation of another nearby detector, rusted or corroded iron or foil in the
soil or sensitivity value set too high.
You can see the mineralization level of the ground by following the magnetic
mineralization indicator on the screen and adjust the sensitivity accordingly.
IMPORTANT! If the device receives a lot of noise and/ or emits false signals
and you cannot eliminate it by reducing the sensitivity to 25, first set your
sensitivity back to its original level. Then increase the Ground Suppressor
value until the noise is eliminated. As the Ground Suppressor value is
increased, the device’s sensitivity to high conductive (silver, copper etc.)
targets will decrease.
Surrounding electromagnetic signals can be eliminated by reducing the gain. If
another detector is operating nearby, you may attempt to shift the frequency
or perform your search at a distance where no interference occurs.
MAGNETIC MINERALIZATION
INDICATOR
The Magnetic Mineralization Indicator consists of 5 levels. The indicator bars
do not rise at low mineral levels during search and at start up. In areas
where the magnetic mineral level is high, the indicator bars will rise
according to the intensity. This measurement can be summarized as the level of
magnetic property and intensity of the ground.
This measurement is important from two aspects. First, on grounds with high
magnetic mineralization, search depth is low and users should be aware of this
fact. Second, magnetic mineralization is a property which is particularly seen
with mineralized rocks and this measurement plays an important role for the
device to eliminate the false signals produced by these rocks.
ROCKS AND SEARCHING IN ROCKY
TERRAINS
Challenging ground conditions arise especially when conductivity and magnetic
properties of the ground are too intense. Operation of the device over such
ground is made possible by selecting the best operating mode, sensitivity and
ground balance settings.
Stones and rocks or cavities inside the ground are as important as the ground
itself in regards to the search and target detection quality.
Hot rocks are classified as negative or positive based on their ID being low
or high in comparison to the ID of the soil they are in. One or both of the
types may be present in a field. The negative and positive effects mentioned
here will only be valid if ground balancing is properly done on the existing
ground. Otherwise, soil itself will not act differently from hot rocks in
terms of ID.
Positive rocks act just like metal and produce a metal sound. In the All Metal
mode they produce a “zip zip” sound when the search coil is moved over them.
If the signal is strong enough, the device may produce an ID for these rocks.
Negative rocks in the All Metal mode, produce a long “boing” sound when the
search coil is moved over them. The device does not give an ID for these rocks
even if the signal is strong.
Positive rocks provide a typical metal sound in discrimination modes. Negative
rocks do not provide a sound in discrimination modes (except for rare cases of
false signals).
Therefore, you can make a decision by listening to the audio responses
produced by the device in the field. If you receive a metal sound, it means
that you either detected a positive rock or a piece of metal. If you receive a
strong signal and a stable ID, you can distinguish if the detected target is a
rock or metal by checking the ID. However, remember that weak signals may
produce different IDs and metals under rocks may produce different metal
signals. Therefore, the most appropriate action is to dig up when a metal
signal is received.
26
DETECTION ON THE BEACH AND
UNDERWATER
SIMPLEX is a waterproof metal detector. This provides convenient detection
underwater and on the beach.
As explained before, salt water and alkali grounds are significantly
conductive and cause effects similar to iron in detectors. SIMPLEX’s Beach
mode is specially designed for such conditions. You can perform your search
easily using the Beach mode without requiring any special settings.
Beach mode is ideal for salty wet beach sand. You can use the other modes
while performing search over dry beach sand.
You should consider the following while performing search over wet beach sand
or underwater:
- When you swing the search coil over the holes you dig in wet beach sand, you can receive metal signals, this is a normal condition.
- The search coil may give false signals when going into and coming out of the water so please try to keep the coil either in or out of the water.
- While detecting on wet beach sand, avoid rubbing or hitting the search coil on the ground. Otherwise, the device may give false signals.
- When going from wet sand to dry sand or from dry sand to wet sand while detecting on the beach, the device may emit false signals. Ground balance the detector after you switch from one another.
- The ground balance is set to 00.0 for maximum stability in the Beach mode
by default. If you cannot auto ground balance on wet sand and/or in salt
water, try manual ground balancing. If you still cannot ground balance, set
the ground balance value back to 00.0 manually.
Pay attention to the items below after using the device especially under salty water:
1. Wash the system box, shaft and the coil with tap water and be sure no salt water is left in the connectors.
2. Do not use any chemicals for cleaning and/or for any other purposes.
3. Wipe the screen and the shaft dry with a soft, nonscratch cloth.
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.
