Nokta Triple Score Manual

1. Charge the detector fully over USB before your first hunt - the rechargeable battery runs up to 12 hours on a full charge.
2. Assemble the shaft and coil, and connect wireless audio over Bluetooth if you are using wireless headphones.
3. Power on and let the detector settle for a moment away from metal.
4. Pick a search mode to match your site (see below), then do a quick ground balance before you start swinging.

One returning detectorist noted getting back into the hobby specifically with a Triple Score - the simple startup is a big part of why it suits newcomers and comeback hunters alike.

The Triple Score offers multiple search modes aimed at different terrains and targets, including a relic mode. As a rule of thumb:

• Use a general or coin mode for parks, yards and typical soil.
• Use a beach-oriented approach for wet sand and the water line, where the IP68 waterproofing to 16 ft lets you go in.
• Use the relic mode when hunting older sites for iron-heavy targets.

Balance to your ground whenever you move to a new, noticeably different site or start getting falsing - the manual's ground-balance procedure is the first thing to revisit if the machine gets chattery.

• Falsing or chatter: lower sensitivity a step and re-run the ground balance; nearby metal or EMI can also be the cause.
• Wireless audio not connecting: re-pair the Bluetooth headphones and make sure both are charged.
• Behaving oddly after a long time unused: check for a firmware update, which often resolves quirks (see below).

Like the rest of the Score family, the Triple Score takes free firmware updates over USB - connect it to a computer and run Nokta's updater to keep it current. For accessories, the Pro Pack bundle already includes a Nokta Pointer, premium digger, carry bag, finds pouch and cap; if you bought the detector alone, those are the first add-ons most owners pick up.
