F350Platinum Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 It's anyone else having a problem with the MI-6 not connecting to the D2 when switching it on? Sometimes it takes as many as 3 or more attempts to get it to connect. I've noticed this since day 1, and while it does eventually connect it's a bit annoying. I've re-paired it, tried a frequency check to see if it might be EMI, but have come to no conclusion. Some places it works flawlessly, others not so much.

DIG5050 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 My MI-6 connects almost every time if It’s held close to the RC in the D2. If it doesn’t connect, a re-tune press of the button usually makes it connect. Annoying, not at all like my carrot with Z-Lynk. My son has a D2 and an MI-6 and has the same connection problem you are experiencing. Maybe a defective MI-6? Maybe it’s time to contact your seller, or XP for warranty repair. HH.

It does seem not to connect if the detector has something else going on like a stray signal, I've tried frequency scan but to no avail. I'll try the re-tune, Thanks! May have done that inadvertently once or twice. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelton Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Yes the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I am experiencing the same annoying behavior too. It is great to be a more silent detector user in public areas but the inconsistent pairing and Mi-6 inconsistent sensitivity levels after pairing should not be happening with a detector at this price level.

martygene Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Samie same... frustrating and annoying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 I think dig5050 may have a shortcut, going to try retune. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relicmeister Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Same here connects 3/4 of time 1/4 fail requiring restarting mi6. I keep a mi4 with me when I have many targets cause I can leave it on- it turns off on its own but by then I’ve dug 2-3 targets and just keep turning it on. I leave it on and hold it under my left arm ( pit) where it won’t detect metal and is always ready for the next hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unox Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I haven't paired my Mi6 up as yet, I am going for a hunt in the next few days I must give it a try and see if it behaves the same...currently running 0.71 firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Yeah,,, I used the MI6 first time out, had it paired up & set. Somehow the sensitivity settings got messed up, got tired of screwing around w it and went back to the car for the ever reliable Carrot. Still haven’t used the MI6….🙄 Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
