Read this manual carefully before using. Most importantly, review the
TIPS,QUICK START and BASIC OPERATION.
TIPS
1. The metal detector is used outdoors, not fit for using indoors.
2. Sensitivity Indication cursor shared with the coin depth Indication
Cursor, DEPTH 2”, 4” and 6”, equivalent to SENS 1, 2 and 3, when
detecting metals, it turns into depth cursor automatically. The
sensitivity function is restored after few seconds.
3. SENS button boot setting is the middle level (the second level), it’s
all metal mode.
4. The depth indication is accurate for coin-sized objects. Large objects
and irregularly-shaped objects will yield less reliable depth readings.
5. Most of valuable metal objects will send repeatable signals. If the
signal is not repeatable, it’s mostly a false signal.
6. In the neutral soil, the discrimination indication is more accurate,
while in the mineralization or saline soil, the discrimination indication
will have various degree of deviation.
7. Please activate your 2-year warranty at www.drotekor.com/warranty,

ASSEMBLY
The structure of MT-X is shown in the figure below.

-2-
1. Loosen the two triangular fasten buttons below the control box,
insert the bracket, then tighten the two triangular fasten buttons. (See
Fig.1)
2. Press the silver-white shrapnel on the plastic connecting rod, insert
to the black aluminum stem. When the silver-white shrapnel popping
up from the hole on the black aluminum stem, you could use the unit.
There are four holes on the black aluminum stem, it is for you to adjust
the length of the connecting stem, allowing you to comfortably erect
and straighten your arms, the search coil is about 1/2 inch from the
ground. (See Fig.2, Fig.3)

-3-
3. Wind the cable around the aluminum tube, keep the elastic
moderate, so that the cable won’t sway.
4. Relax two side nuts of the search coil, adjust the position of search
coil, let the search coil be parallel to the ground. Be careful not to
mistake the location of the search coil. (See Fig.3)
BATTERY
Please use 6 alkaline AA batteries.
1. Press the “key” on the battery cover in the direction of the arrow,
pull out the battery cover. (See Fig.4)

-4-
2. Insert the 6 AA batteries to the case as indicated by the polarity
symbols marked inside the case. (See Fig.5)
3. And then push the battery cover in the battery cavity. A KATA tone
will be heard, which means the battery cover has been in the right
position. Please note the indication of the “UP” direction on the
battery cover.
Note: 6 alkaline batteries are available for about 40 hours. If you won’t
use the detector for a long time, please remove the batteries from the
battery box.
PANEL AND LCD
All the controller adjustment can be displayed on the LCD, and all the
detection result also can be shown on the LCD. (See Fig.6)

-5-
●Target ID Pattern: It’s located on the LCD screen. It indicates the
wanted target metals. When detecting a metal target, the target ID
cursor will appear below such metal patterns or the words.
●Target ID Cursor: It’s in the shape of . It consists of 3 segments.
When the target ID cursor is lighted, which indicates the probable
metal type of the detected target.
The three warning tones which be heard during finding targets are
corresponding with the target ID cursor. See the below table:
Low pitch
Mediant
High pitch
ferrous metal
MID
RANGE,5P-50P,
1￡,2￡,2P,SILVER
Note: Affected by the soil composition, as the same material metal in
the different soil, the position of the target ID cursor will have a change.
Coins made in different years, there are differences between the metal
components, the location of the identify cursor also may change.

-6-
●Coin Depth Indication Cursor: It contains three grades, namely 2”,
4”and 6”, equivalent to 1, 2 and 3. It indicates the approximate depth of
the 2P copper coin in the neutral soil. It’s only the approximate depth.
The size and composition of the target, and the composition of the soil
will affect the indication value.
●Sensitivity Indication Cursor: It’s shared with the depth cursor, when
detecting metals, it turns into depth cursor automatically.The sensitivity
function is restored after few seconds. It is divided into three grades,
which is the highest when all lighted. By pressing the SENS button to
adjust.
●PINPOINT Cursor: Press and hold down the “PINPOINT” button, the
PINPOINT cursor is lighted, and the detector turns into NON-MOTION
mode, it’s fit for locating the detected object accurately.
●Battery Power Cursor: Light at ordinary times, when the battery
symbol flashing, which means the battery is insufficient, should replace
the battery in time.
CONTROLLER
All the controllers are on the panel. (See Fig.7)

-7-
●Power Button: Press the button once, the power is on, and press it
once more, the power is off.
●SENS Button: Choose the 3 levels with the SENS button. Default
setting is the middle level (the second level). The highest sensitivity is
the third level, when there is interference, you can set the sensitivity
lower properly. In the PINPOINT mode, the SENS button is useless.
●PINPOINT Button: Press and hold down the “PINPOINT” button, the
detector converts into the non-motion mode automatically, it no longer
has discrimination ability. At this time, the PINPOINT cursor is lighted,
and indicates the signal strength. The more close to the metal target,
the more the strength cursor is lighted, and louder the sound is, to
locate the target location accurately.
QUICK START
1. Prepare with the three metal samples
●an iron nail
●a 10P nickel coin
●a 2P copper coin
2. Lay the detector
Place the detector on a wooden or plastic table, let the search coil
exceeds the table edge about more than 20cm. Keep the detector away
from the wall, ceiling and floor, turn off all the equipment which can
cause electromagnetic interference. Please take off the watch, ring or
other metal objects on your hand. (See Fig.8).

3. Turn on
Press the POWER button, and the detector will sound two moo tones,
all the LCD patterns are lighted at minute, the detector is in the ALL
METAL mode by default, and the sensitivity is in the second grade. (See
Fig.9)
Fig.9
4. Test
Sweep the three metal samples 5 to 8cm above the search coil.
a) The detector sounds three different tones in turn.
b) The depth cursor points to the second grade.
c) The target ID cursor points to the three materials.
