Thank you Steve. Relevant thread but I don't think it's EMI. Quiet location that we've previous searched with no issues. But some good tips there nevertheless. Thanks!

Have you tried moving to different locations to eliminate interference sources such as buried dog fences, electric fences, underground power lines, overhead power lines, cell towers, wifi signals, etc.?  Find some “quiet”, isolated place and give that a try.  If that fails, do as Tom Slick says in the previous response, call Minelab Customer Service and send it in.  Their Customer Service is great.

Thanks for the note. Yes, we started in the same location we ended in last time - very quiet and no EMI. Going to try a few other things and maybe go the customer service route if not working by Monday.

First, thanks for all the valuable knowledge, tips, tricks, and recommendations in the forum. Longtime lurker, first time poster.

I bought an Equinox 800 (brand new) in March. Worked great the first few times out. Have not had it on in about 3 weeks, turned it on and it will not stop beeping and cycling through every number sensitivity (hopefully the attached works, no sound obviously but just imagine the nonstop beeping with it). Yes it's on the ground now but no matter where it's aimed this continues to happen.

Things I've tried:

-ensure all connections are tight

-full charge

-remove cell phone from pocket and move it far away

-factory settings reset

-after last use it was turned off and stored indoors and has never been in water/dropped/etc.

Please help!

I did search the forums but wasn't able to find a similar issue other than one resolved with removing phone from pocket so if I missed something I apologize.
