If the fit feels uncom- fortable, adjust the position of the lower fiber rod. The ideal position allows you to stand up straight and sweep the search coil over the ground without stooping over.

  • Page 7: Getting Started

    Getting Started with MX Sport 1. Press the power ON button. Upon initial power up, the detec- tor defaults to the Coin and Jewelry program. 2. Sweep the search coil from side to side, keeping it level and close to the ground. Overlap each search pass by at least 50%.

  • Page 8: Search Mode

    Power Button: The power button turns on the MX Sport. Tapping the power button while the detector is on will turn on the back- light. Holding the power button while on will turn the MX Sport off. Search Mode The MX Sport enters Search mode when turned on. In Search mode, the buttons on the keypad perform the following functions:...

  • Page 9: Options Keypad

    Options Keypad Functions When the user presses the Options button while in Search mode, the MX Sport enters Options mode. As mentioned above, Options mode will only affect the display. The MX Sport will still provide au- dio feedback from the target system. The MX Sport will automati- cally leave Options mode approximately 10-15 seconds after the last time any button is pressed on the keypad.

  • Page 12: Search Programs

    Search Programs Search Programs are implemented as a method for quickly changing multiple options at the same time. Some of these options are also avail- able in the menu (ex. Discrimination), and some are not (ex. the type of audio being used). The factory default settings for each program are intended for general use.

  • Page 13: Sensitivity

    Features (Detailed) Navigation During normal searching there are two live controls that add convenience for the two most common adjustments; Sensitivity and Threshold. SENSITIVITY: During searching (in all search modes) pressing the + & - buttons adjusts the sensitivity, or responsiveness, of the MX Sport.
  • Page 14 continuous background hum. In all search modes, the up & down arrows control the Threshold. The lowest setting of 0 is Silent Search. Use of a threshold provides more information regard- ing what the metal detector sees. Rejected targets or ground peculiarities often cause the threshold to fade to silent.

  • Page 15: Display & Contros Power

    Display & Controls POWER A quick press of the button turns the MX Sport ON. Another quick press of the power button toggles the backlight on and off. Pressing and holding ON/OFF for a second turns the MX Sport OFF. Options: Activates option selections. Up & down arrows select among available options. Pressing + or - adjusts that specific op- tion.

  • Page 16: Sensitivity

    • Option #1: In 80% of situations, tracking can be loced as soon as the detector is turned on. This will result in improved performance in difficult spotty areas. Locking the Tracking prior to searching locks the ground balance at the ferrite (high iron) level.

    Display & Controls, cont. Boost feature, which amplifies the audio responses of small signals. Audio Boost is intended to achieve maximum precision on weak signals, and is not well-suited for general searching.Re- duced sensitivity is often needed to search bad ground conditions or high electrical activity areas.
  • Page 18 Beach: The Beach program has features built in to ignore con- ductive wet or salty soils. Use Beach anytime you are searching a salt-water beach. And because many fertilizers are conduc- tive when wet, heavily fertilized farm fields may also require the Beach mode when they are wet.

    RESET 1. Restore to Factory Settings: 2. Press Option, use the up and down arrows to select RESET. 3. Press and hold Pinpoint button. 4. All options return to factory settings. Discrimination Each of the MX Sport programs begins with Discrimination set- tings pre-selected for most hunting.

Pinpoint (press √/X and “x” the area, return to Discrimination (press √/X again), then pass the search coil over target center and note the sound and display indication. When a metal target doesn’t indicate as expected, peculiarities within that metal’s alloy mix (metal types) are usually to blame.

    Disc Tips: In the DISC menu option, if the zone selection cursor is left under a particular zone for a couple seconds, the text will change from DISC to a short descriptor of what kind of targets one might find in that zone, (e.g. GOLD, QUARTR, etc.) In the DISC menu option, all zones to the left of the zone selection cursor can be discriminated, and all others accepted, by holding the pinpoint button for a short time.

Tone Identification or Tone ID The pitch or audio frequency produced by each target’s display identification range can be highlighted with differently pitched sounds, called Tone Identification or Tone ID.

  • Page 26: Sat (Self-Adjusting Thresold)

    Often soft sand will gather more saltwater compared to the sur- rounding sand. Because these spots have a sharp increase in conductivity, the MX Sport will likely beep regardless of whether metal is present. If a reasonable beep is produced that doesn’t pinpoint sharply like a typical metal object (pinpoints as a large area with a lower than normal volume beep), it is likely a salt pocket;...

  • Page 27: Vco (Voltage Controlled Oscillator)

    Although these slight changes in conditions can be heard in the changing threshold hum, they are not significant enough to dictate any operator change in settings. SAT automatically maintains the threshold hum over time and irregular conditions by resetting the threshold at regular (timed) intervals. These timed intervals can be sped up or slowed to match how quickly the ground conditions are changing and how quickly you want to sweep the search coil.

  • Page 28: Iron Grunt

    Iron Grunt In the All Metal modes, when the MX Sport is sure the target is iron, the iron grunt feature can speed detection by making obvi- ous the metal is iron. Strong IRON type responses are assigned a distinctive “GRUNT” sound. To turn on Iron Grunt: 1.

  • Page 29: Searching

    Searching Sweep the search coil smoothly and evenly from side to side, as if mopping a floor, about 2 seconds per pass, overlapping each pass 50%. Keep the search coil as near to the ground as possible, throughout every sweep. By placing junk and good targets on top of the ground and sweeping the search coil past them, you can see the ideal sweep speed that enhances target detection and identification.

    In all cases care must be taken to minimize damage caused by digging. Practice in your own yard first. With a little practice and the correct tool, it should be difficult to tell where you have dug. Not only does this aid you in getting permission to hunt, it also places all metal detector users in a favorable light.
