In words

Intro
The minimalist, lightweight Evo 5+ by Arva is very similar to its predecessor the Evo 5, both in terms of size and look. It has practically the same functions, including group check with transmission frequency control, multiple burial marking, interference management, automatic switch from search to send mode after eight minutes, and a search strip width of 50 m. It comes with a belt/tether included, so you can keep it securely attached while in your pocket; the classic cross-body holster with carry case is sold separately. To switch it off, you need to push the Mark button as well as the on/off switch, otherwise you risk leaving it switched on (and draining the battery).
