appears around the sensitivity level bars. The  buttons

adjust the level from minimum (1 bar) to maximum (10 bars).

Normally, this determines how deep the detector will "see" a

target. In general, run the sensitivity as high as possible while

maintaining smooth operation. If the audio is chattery or the

ground is causing overload, reduce the sensitivity.

• Volume

This is loudness of the target response. Range is 1-99.

This is the loudness of the threshold audio, which is the

background hum. Range is 0-99. A modest setting (20 is typical

when using headphones) helps with faint target responses which

may be too deep to trigger a Tone ID but are audible as a thresh-

old variation. This is especially true in All-Metal or Mixed-

Mode (Relic mode) audio. A setting of 0 results in silent search

(no threshold), in which a target response may not be heard

unless it is strong enough to trigger a Tone ID.

• Tone ID

The MX5 has three selectable Tone ID responses: 1, 2, and 8

tones. Use the  buttons to move through the tone selections.

See the "In Depth" section for detailed descriptions.

DISC — Discrimination

The Discrimination control allows you to enable or disable

the audio response for select ranges of targets. The MX5 has a

20 segment discrimination control. The  buttons move a

disc cursor ( ) across the segments, and pressing the

ton will toggle the response for the selected segment. The

example Disc Mask below shows that the first 5 segments

(mostly the iron range) have been disabled, plus the segment

that corresponds to Zinc cents. The remaining segments are

enabled. The disc cursor is resting on the "70" segment.
