in both Disc and All Metal modes and the depth of the target in
Pinpoint mode. VDI responses (such as the +83 example shown
below) are covered in the "In Depth" section. Below 10" the
numeric depth is given in ½" increments with a decimal point.
The example below shows 6.5 inches. Depth readout can be
switched to cm by pressing
Metric depths are in whole centimeters.
Across the top of the display are the segments for 20 dis-
crimination zones. When a target is detected a pointer/cursor
points to the zone that corresponds to the type of target. Each
zone can be disabled (rejected) by using the Disc keypad but-
tons to move the cursor and select/deselect each zone. To
change a contiguous block, press/hold the
press  or . Rejecting a zone only affects the audio; the dis-
play will still show target information even if you can't hear an
audible response.
The MX5 display includes a backlight for extended hunting.
Press the backlight button to toggle the backlight. In daylight it
can be difficult to tell whether the backlight is on or off, so a
backlight icon is also displayed. The backlight will reduce bat-
tery life by 20% so it's best to turn it off when not needed.
Coin and Beach modes are discrimination-based modes.
They are also known as "motion" modes in that they require the
search coil to be in constant motion for the discrimination cir-
cuitry to operate properly. If the coil is hovered over a target the
response will cease.
All-Metal mode is a non-discrimination mode, but still
requires motion to respond because it utilizes a Self-Adjusting
