The sensitivity control is used to
adjust the
MP
X
sensitivity to chang-
ing ground conditions. Operating
the
MP
X
in the maximum setting
may result in erratic operation due
to heavy mineralization in your
present search area. Reducing
the sensitivity to show 2 to 4 bars
will help in most cases. Areas that
contain high minerals are salt water
beaches, many areas high in iron,
volcanic islands or any soil that is
high in mineral content.
Tip: Start out with maximum sen-
sitivity and if the MP
X
operates in a
stable manner then leave it alone.
If you are getting False Signals,
or, you get a tone and nothing is
there, then decrease the sensitivity
1 notch at a time till you achieve
stable operation.
This feature is fully automatic and requires no tuning on the opera-
tors part. When a target is detected, you will see 5 LCD light indica-
tor illuminate on the screen
on both the left and right of
center. This feature will en-
able you to do two things.
First you can determine
if a target is close to the
surface by observing how
many bars are illuminated.
One (1) bar on both sides
would indicate a deeper
target, and five (5) bars on
both sides would indicate a
shallow target.

USING ACP CONTROL
(Audio Centering Pinpointing)
The
MP
X
incorporates a very
precise
ACP Pinpointing Con-
trol that will accuracy locate any
target when you're ready to dig.
Once you have located a buried
target and have identified that
target in the slow motion mode
you start by moving the coil away
from the target area with the coil
about 1/2 inch off the ground.
Now you simply push and hold in
the pinpoint button on the
MP
X
and slowly move the search coil
over the target area until you get
the highest audio pitch and the
loudest sound (volume level) at
this point you are centered over
the target. What you are hear-
ing is the new
ACP technology
working to make pinpointing as
effortless as possible.
Note: The deeper the target
the softer or lower the sound
or volume will be.
TIP: Practice pinpointing with
a coin lying on top of the
ground so you can see how
the ACP works.
