QuickStart
1. Turn on the power.
2. The MX5 has automatic ground tracking. To speed up the
initial tracking process, find a spot free of targets and bob
the coil up & down a few times (optional).
3. The normal default Sensitivity (SENS) level of 7 bars is rea-
sonable for most situations. If the audio is chattery or con-
stantly overloads, reduce the sensitivity level (
SEL
to
highlight Sensitivity area,  to change).
4. Sweep the search coil from
side-to-side, keeping the coil
level and close to the ground.
Overlap each sweep by 50%
to avoid missing targets.
5. Once a target is detected, use
the Pinpoint button to isolate
its exact location. Cross the
target from two directions (at
90°) and listen for the stron-
gest response.
