Headphones not pairing with new HF 9.5 coil

[Tony N (Michigan)]

I updated the detector to v.7.2 the other day.
Today I received a new 9.5 HF coil.
If I put sound ON on the detector I hear the coil. I take sound off on the detector and cannot hear the coil in the headphones.
Do I need to go back to v.4.0?

I put in the new coil serial #'s into the detector and chose that coil. And turned on the headphones and chose that new coil as well.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I don't know why it now works but I put on a LF coil, set it to #1 coil in Detector and Headphones and the LF coil works through headphones.

Then I put the new HF coil on, selected #3 coil in detector and headphones and can now hear the coil through headphones.

Don't know why it didn't work before. I had #3 selected in detector and headphones before. Just glad it works now!

I had a similar problem until i went through the headphone menu and found that the headphones were on the other coil i had, i changed it on the headphones and not it works fine.

Once i did that i could change back and forth between my two coils with not problem

V7.2? is that a misprint or is there a new update out that i haven't heard of yet?

Maybe I meant 5.21?

Is there a way to look in the detector to see what the current update is?

The strange thing was I had my two LF coils in #'s 1 & 2 and the new HF coil in slot #3.
I chose #3 in the detector and on the headphones. Maybe I should have waited a few minutes?

I've found whenever changing coils it almost never automatically integrates with the puck. Always just change the puck to right coil before starting out

In other words, turn on headphone puck first, change to the coil you want THEN turn on the detector?

Add the coil to the remote and then hit a few targets with the new coil to make sure it is paired up correctly. Then turn on the headphones and make sure the signal is coming through the headphones as well. When you power everything down the last coil used with the remote will be in the headphones memory list.

I thought maybe it was 5.21 but thought maybe i missed something

When you power up look at the bottom of the controller and it will say the current version, 5.21 you have to look quick because it will go away be for you now it.

Yes, I powered it up and it is 5.21.
Thanks for the tip!

I just posted a similar issue. But I am using the stock coil only at this point.

About half the time I am only getting coil noise. The other half, the headphones go quiet for the MI-6

Called xp Deus and sent back my unit, after updating from 4.0 to 5.21 constant chatter they said it is probably from the update. Couldn't tell me of anything to do but to send the LF coil, RC and the headphones into them.So off they went today to be repaired.
