OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Discriminate Mode
Whenever you turn on your Master Hunter CX Plus
by pressing the POWER touchpad, you have activat-
ed the Discriminate (trash elimination) mode. When
operating in this mode, the CX detects only selected
metal objects.
Garrett's two Multi-Range Discrimination controls
permit you to select targets you desire. The follow-
ing settings are marked on the ferrous controls:
• Nails setting will eliminate rusty iron and iron nails.
• Foil setting will eliminate iron, nails and foil. Salt
water will be eliminated near this setting.
• Bottlecaps setting will eliminate steel bottlecaps,
plus iron, nails and foil.
• Nickel setting will eliminate that metal and coins
made of it, plus bottlecaps, iron, nails and foil.
On the Non-Ferrous control knob the settings for

pulltab, screw top, zinc penny and flat screwtop indi-
cate the items which will be excluded from detection.
Remember that the elimination is cumulative, i.e. all
items to the left of the pointer will be excluded. Test
typical trash items before taking your Master Hunter
CX Plus into the field.
Setting the Multi-Range Discrimination controls at
higher settings will cause some rings and coins to
escape detection. Therefore, it is recommended that
you never rotate these knobs any farther clockwise
than necessary. Fill rotation counterclockwise (to the
left) will cause most metallic targets to be accepted.
As the knob is turned farther clockwise (to the right)
more targets will be rejected. As you become famil-
iar with your targets through bench testing, you can
remember the rejection settings of your detector by
the numbers on the controls.
