The XP Deus LCD remote control is the stem-mounted command center for Deus owners who prefer tactile program access over headset-only operation. This backlit display module gives you direct control over 10 factory programs plus 8 custom slots, frequency selection, discrimination, reactivity, and ground balance modes without pulling the WS4 headset from your head. Deus operators working trashy parks or switching between dry beach and wet sand mid-hunt reach for the remote when they need instant program changes and visual confirmation of settings.
What's Included with the XP Deus LCD Remote Control
- XP Deus LCD remote control with backlit display and integrated speaker
- Stem mount bracket for 2-second attachment and removal
Why XP Deus Owners Reach for the LCD Remote Control
- Visual program confirmation: backlit LCD shows your active program, frequency, discrimination pattern, and ground balance setting at a glance, eliminating guesswork when you switch from Basic to Deus Fast or Hot mid-session.
- Wireless MI-6 pinpointer pairing: connect the MI-6 pinpointer directly to the remote so target tones route through your headset or the remote's onboard speaker, and wake a lost pinpointer from the coil control menu.
- 18 total program slots: 10 factory presets (Basic, GM Power, Deus Fast, Pitch, G-Maxx, Deep, Wet Beach, Dry Beach, Hot, Gold Field) plus 8 user slots for saving custom discrimination and reactivity profiles tailored to your local sites.
- Static all-metal mode: detect without motion for cache hunting and pipe tracing, a capability the WS4 headset alone does not offer.
- Pocket or stem operation: detach the remote in 2 seconds with a thumb press and run programs from your pocket when you prefer a lighter swing weight, or mount it on the stem for quick adjustments without breaking your search pattern.
Program Flexibility Across Mineralized Ground and Wet Sand
Switching from Dry Beach to Wet Beach Without Leaving the Water Line
The Wet Beach program uses a specialized ground balance range to counter salt mineralization, while Dry Beach optimizes for lower conductivity dry sand. Deus operators working tidal zones tap the remote's program button to switch between the two as the tide moves, maintaining stable threshold and target separation without returning to the car. The backlit display confirms the active program even in dawn or dusk light. This instant program access is why beach hunters running XP metal detectors pair the remote with the WS4 headset rather than relying on headset-only control.
Reactivity and Frequency Adjustments in Iron-Contaminated Park Sites
The Deus Fast and Hot programs combine high reactivity settings with Full Tones audio to separate coins from iron trash in old park layers. When iron falsing increases, Deus operators lower reactivity or shift from 12 kHz to 18 kHz directly from the remote's advanced settings menu. The LCD shows the active frequency and reactivity value, so you know if you are running reactivity 3 or reactivity 5 without cycling through audio cues. Detectorists working urban tot lots and colonial homesteads rely on this visual feedback to fine-tune the technologies behind modern detectors like simultaneous multi-frequency processing and fast recovery speed.
