3.1. Power On/Off

To turn the device ON, press and hold the power button until you hear a short beep and the LED light illuminates. To turn the device OFF, press and hold the power button until the LED light turns off and you hear a series of beeps.

3.2. Metal Detection

The Nokta Pinpointer detects metal objects using an 11.6 kHz frequency. When the device approaches a metal target, it will provide an alarm through audio, vibration, or both, depending on the selected mode.
