Legend 2

Enhanced Performance and Design

• Improved Stability and Noise Resistance: The detector is designed to be more stable and more resistant to noise, leading to more reliable performance.

• Reduced Weight: The Legend 2 is lighter than its predecessor, weighing only 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs).

• New Carbon Fiber Shaft: Features a completely new, more compact carbon fiber shaft design and lock system, providing rock-solid stability.

• Increased Shaft Length: The new shaft extends up to 145 cm (57 inches), five inches longer than the original, making it suitable for taller users.

• Increased Battery Capacity: Battery life is increased by up to 33% due to a larger 6,700 mAh rechargeable lithium battery (up from 5,050 mAh). The runtime can reach up to 20 hours at $40\text{ kHz}$ frequency, though it is affected by settings like vibration, LED, and Bluetooth headphone use.

• Front-facing LED: A new LED is added to show the charging status.

• New Speaker and Audio Enhancements: Both hardware and software changes were made to the audio system for better tonal clarity.

• Ergonomics: The device is described as more ergonomic and sturdier.

User Experience and Interface Updates

• Legend 2 Larger Screen: A bigger display makes information like Target ID and frequently used settings easier to read at a glance.

• Legend 2 More Friendly User Interface (UI): The new interface eliminates "hidden functions" and layers, making every feature clear and accessible—addressing complexity issues from the original Legend's numerous firmware updates.

• Legend 2 Backlit Keypad: A new design features a backlit keypad for easier use when searching in the dark.

• Legend 2 Expanded Target ID: The Target ID range has been expanded from $1\text{ to }60$ to $1\text{ to }99$ for more precise target identification.

• Legend 2 Effortless Pinpoint: The pinpoint function no longer requires pressing and holding the button; a single press activates and a second press exits. Crucially, Target IDs are now provided in Pinpoint mode, which was not available on the original.

• Legend 2 New Relic Search Mode: A dedicated Relic Mode is added for deeper and more challenging targets, joining the existing Park, Field, Beach, and Gold modes.

• Legend 2 New User Profile System: Each of the five search modes (Park, Field, Beach, Gold, Relic) now comes with four profiles: one default (non-customizable) and three additional customizable profiles per mode, allowing for a total of 15 different savable profiles.

• Legend 2 Wireless Firmware Updates: Updates can now be done both wired and wirelessly via a new Nokta application/tool on a phone or laptop.
