Failure to turn off.

[Ronstar]

I noticed yesterday that once I was in fairly EMI that I could not manually turn the detector off, I had to walk out of the area enough that it quieted down and then the power button worked. Has this happened to anyone else and any idea why? Control head basically froze up.

I bet you that dog just wants to hunt and you lose control over it at times.

The Etrax and 3030 guys need to go back where belong. Elmy said "this dog just wants to hunt". I have not had this issue with the Legend. All I can say to the 3030 and Etrax guys is let it go Louie!!!

Thank you. There are some people not willing to take responsibility and you are. Thank you for your reply.

@Ronstar , be sure that you are running V1.07 firmware. It fixed some bugs. There have been a few bad control boxes that I have read about.

Mama is going to set her laptop up today. I think I found out what happened. It looks like if you’re in settings and in one of the subject areas then it wont turn off, needs to be in the main screen.
