Here are the actual instructions: After doing one minute of googling, I verfied my suspicion that the Nokta Green Edition wireless Phones (which came with the original Nokta Simplex+) are a NEWER generation than the Nokta Red Edition wireless phones and that helped me to better interpret what Nokta was actually attempting to convey in the above update notes: This software update from 2017 merely adds compatibility with the Red Edition and later (non-bluetooth) wireless Nokta phones by adding channels 4 and 5 and an Off setting. What this note is saying is that if you are using a set of older (pre-Red Edition) Nokta wireless phones with your Impact, you can only use channels 0 - 3 after the update even though channels 4 and 5 were added (for Red and later wireless phone compatibility). So it wants to make sure you keep the detector set to one of those channels before the update to ensure you can reconnect after the update. It also recommends utilizing the newly added Off setting (after the update) when you are not using your wireless phones for detecting (i.e., you are using the speaker or wired phones), probably to extend battery life by turning off the wireless transmitter in the detector. Therefore, if you have the Green Edition wireless headphones those are actually a "newer" version than the Red Edition wireless phones, so if they work with your Impact (and you have the wireless "Off" setting in your menu), that means you already have the latest Impact software installed and no need to do the update. Whew. That was a long trip to nowhere. You can now enjoy your new Anfibio concentric coils on your Impact with the peace of mind of knowing it is already fully updated. HTH Shows up 11 on my screen and nothing in the small window shows. Thanks for all the info I appreciate it 👍 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27413-updating-the-nokta-impact/page/3/#findComment-288051 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH I have the green headphones so I should leave it on channel 3 when doing the update. Is that correct ?

I don't have the off setting and shows 1.1. So it does not matter what channel I have it on when doing the update?

Something you posted previously implied you had the OFF setting. Anyway, like I said in my post, the Green headphones are newer than the Red phones, so it doesn't matter what channel you have selected when you do the update. Treat them just like the Red phones as far as the update is concerned. If you have 1.1, I doubt you can set them to anything other than 0 to 3 anyway. When Nokta released the last Impact update, the Green phones did not exist yet, so that's why the instructions are a little confusing. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27413-updating-the-nokta-impact/page/3/#findComment-288072 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check tomorrow Might have a a off feature but it's not on the screen as you have to press 2 buttons and hold them and then turn detector on to access the wifi channels Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27413-updating-the-nokta-impact/page/3/#findComment-288098 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just set the channel to 0 - 3 to be sure when you do the update. Good luck.
