Sensitivity - Whites MXSPORT User Manual

• 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.
• Option #2: In 20% of situations, a natural or man-made spot-
ty mineralization may still cause difficulties at the initial fer-
rite, locked-ground rejection level. In these areas, find a highly
mineralized spot that is representative of all the spots in the
area, sweep the search coil 6–12 times (or until it doesn't
respond) and press the TRACK button. In this case, the user
is locking the ground rejection level at the high mineral spot
so that all similar spots can be ignored (no response).
If the minerals within these spots exceeds typical ground mineral
levels, and are seen as metal ore, they can not be reduced by
ground tracking. Reducing the sensitivity of the detector, or using
the discrimination mask, is necessary to reduce metal respons-
es. In some regions, hot rocks (iron rich stones) can exceed the
metal content of a mineral and thus exceed the range of any
metal detector's ground rejection. Any metal (gold silver, copper,
nickel, aluminum etc) can be found in metal ore (rock) form, as
well. Again, Discrimination and Sensitivity adjustments are the
only way to deal with these responses.
The MX Sport captures ground mineral information in real time.
Turning off the Power and turning back on will automatically un-
lock a locked ground balance level. This is necessary to capture
new ground information. Switching in and out of the Beach mode
(a different ground rejection range) will also unlock a locked
ground balance. When powering ON/OFF or switching in or out
of the Beach mode, remember to re-lock the ground tracking if
that is required for the area.

SENSITIVITY

Used to increase or decrease responsiveness to targets, ground,
and external electrical noise. Maximum depth will be achieved by
using the highest setting possible for the area. Settings 1–10
are available. Increasing sensitivity to 10 activates the Audio
