Canarias_detection Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hi everyone ... I recently updated my equinox 800 to version 3. I have gone to the beach to test it ... after trying on several beaches the detector is unstable ... beach mode 1-2 ... the screen always shows -9 (with any sensitivity) I can not remove it ... sometimes a small triangle comes out next to the battery ... these beaches where I have always detected, never any problems ... anyone knows the reason EDIT: software version 2.1, false signals continuously, sometimes with bad sound (centimes or garbage) I locate with pinpointer but without targets, unstable detector in and out of watersome reason?Thank you regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Do a factory reset. If that doesn't resolve the issue. Reinstall the update and then do a factory reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Goldman Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 You should do a reset anyway (regardless of the version you reload) just to make sure nothing is corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canarias_detection Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 yes, I did a factory reset by pressing the power button for a few seconds..thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Odd ... it will be interesting to know how this glitch happened. What operating system did you use for the update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedinVT Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 If the factory reset doesn't solve the problem do you have a fellow Nox owner that would let you try his coil? Thinking maybe you had a coil leak. Do you read -9 in the other detect modes as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 BTW -9 is typically associated with ground noise. Make sure your machine is properly ground balanced. (It should be back at the default zero GB point after the reset). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordic Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 And the triangle usually means you are too close to large metal object, so big and so close it clips the signal going to the headunit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
