    Whites support is 2nd to NONE!

    In case you have not been following my V3i wireless headphones thread I felt this one deserved its own message. Buying from Whites is just a good idea and here is proof. (copied from my prior message, regarding possible defective wireless headphones) I am IMPRESSED!!!! I AM COMPLETELY...

    Are my wireless headphones broken?

    I am IMPRESSED!!!! I AM COMPLETELY IMPRESSED!! (Yes, I know I am yelling - I need to) :whites: :clapping: :whites: I just spoke to Whites support and Mary Hudson told me that they will be sending me a new set of headphones to ensure mine are working for a trip to Virginia scheduled for...

    V3+1 and DX-1 - odd pinpointing at times

    Wow that may be a thought if I understood that post correctly. Rob, did you say you have your trigger programmed on forward click to lock pinpoint? If I could do it, I would love to reverse the programming of my trigger. Pull and hold for analyze, and push forward to lock pinpoint. That would...

    Are my wireless headphones broken?

    And in all fairness to Whites - when they do make this right I am going to share the events with the forum which will basically make my prior rant moot - I hope. I understand they are a very proactive when it comes to customer support and my warranty transfer was an absolutely perfect engagement...

    Are my wireless headphones broken?

    The battery contacts appear to be clean and snug. The phones will not turn on (or off) at all now. Changing batteries makes no difference, they are completely unresponsive. I hit the Whites website this morning before I left the house for a pre-planned hunt we setup earlier in the week. It said...

    Are my wireless headphones broken?

    Checking the detector was the first thing I did. It says the headphones are "not responding." I then go through the pairing process where you hold the power button (like the detector says) and I can sit there for 5 minutes holding that button but nothing seems to happen. It doesn't look good...

    Are my wireless headphones broken?

    Last night while detecting on the beach I noticed my headphones were popping more often than they normally do. Once or twice a hunt I normally will hear a loud pop like a popgun in them. It is not horribly loud put is loud enough to not be missed. It reminds me of an AM radio when there is a...

    Only one word for the V3i

    Dag! No one called your kid ugly Rob. Why so extreme? I had no idea this would create a reaction or I would have kept my 2 cents to myself. :sadwalk: Customer feedback is always a good source of development ideas for any product and more so in technology. You can only do so much to a toilet...

    V3+1 and DX-1 - odd pinpointing at times

    YEE HA! That was as clear as mud. But the finger pointing comes through crystal clear. In the end I can live with it. The V3i is a great machine, and the DX-1 is a great add-on. They just do not work perfectly together at all times and that is understandable due to all the variables at play. I...

    Detecting made the online national news!!

    I just saw this on MSN.com and thought you may find it interesting. http://money.msn.com/saving-money/article.aspx?post=95e45468-fc44-409b-a461-d9c64181f702&GT1=33026 You may want to hit those spots you have been thinking about before the folks now marching down to their local retail outlets...

    V3+1 and DX-1 - odd pinpointing at times

    Ouch, are you saying not to use locked pinpoint. OK I get it, you are the dude on that Nationwide insurance commercial that does the intense shadow puppets to describe their combined policies right?! You know the guy with the 3 or 4 hands?!? :heh: I am just normal folk and really need both...

    Operating the V3 without a coil connected

    Thanks Gents! Makes me feel better. I love this detector (as much as you can love a non-organic device) and would hate to do anything to damage it. The Shark

    V3+1 and DX-1 - odd pinpointing at times

    I have a V3 that was upgraded to an i. The unit is coupled with a Sunray DX-1 probe and I do enjoy it much more than the other probes because I never have to remove those lovely wireless headphones and lay them in the dirt for starters. One thing that does happen that I find very odd is, once I...

    Operating the V3 without a coil connected

    This may be a dumb question but I have to ask. Over the years I have come across technical gear that is covered with warnings - DO NOT operate this unit without the antenna attached. Some of the warnings are quite rabid, and others are very suttle, but warnings none the less. In the case of...

    Only one word for the V3i

    Two points: 1. A USB or wireless interface to a computer would be a welcome option. While the V3i screen and interface is very nice and well thought out I would love to save custom programs, and quickly upload and download to the unit. But I am also a techie and make my living with computer...

    First hunt with the V3 on video

    Jimmy, Great video. Couple thoughts: When I got started back in March I did so with a Pistol Probe. That is a great deep seeking probe, but it does like to signal on items at the tip OR around the barrel. I would start with a 4" D shaped hole after I cut the flap and would often end up with a...

    Is there another brand of wireless headphone that will work on the V3I:twodetecting::whites:

    The Whites phones are proprietary. Not bluetooth like everything else, they have more in common with household wireless telephones. Bluetooth was far to slow to be effective. They needed a real-time wireless solution so they got started with an off the shelf solution and then built it up from...

    Correct me if I am wrong

    I do! You have never steered me wrong. The Shark

    New Guy looking for a good machine + MD tips

    I own what I like to call a V3+i. It is a V3 that was upgraded to the V3i option. This is a FACTORY upgrade and your machine becomes the same thing as the V3i fresh off the assembly line. Electronically the machines are the same, this is a software upgrade. Since it is an upgrade performed at...
