Legend Trouble Shooting

[Rob183]

I just returned from a week long cruise where permission had been granted to detect several beaches that were typically off limits. My problem happened on the third day of detecting. I was running version 1.11, LG30, Beach MW factory default setting and sensitivity was 20, after 5 minutes into the hunt my machine started going crazy like there was a major EMI issue. I tried everything from lowering sensitivity to single digits, different modes, different frequencies, nothing helped. The only setting that was quiet but not detecting anything was Park and the frequency was 4 then I got the error message SE and everything shut down. Did a factory reset with the same results. I have been in contact with Andy at We Dig and he suggested that I reinstall the software. My detector and computer cannot connect. I just sent him an email that his suggestion didn't work. Has anyone had a similar issue and if so how was the problem remedied?

Thanks
Rob

First thing I would try is a different coil.

Did you try holding the power/settings button for 30 seconds like the manual suggests when SE appears on the screen? It is on page 28.

 

[Rob183]

Yes, tried everything. Apparently I have a defective LG30 coil, my other coils seem to work just fine.

If that turns out to be the case , don't let it make you gun shy of getting another one. I use mine almost exclusively any more and would prefer it any day over the stock 11" coil.

Nokta is going to sent me a new LG30 coil

Nokta is going to sent me a new LG30 coil

Awesome.
Hopefully that didn't ruin your trip.

Awesome.

Other than missing a day of detecting the trip was amazing!

Glad to hear that Nokta is taking care of you. They seem to take good care of their customers.

Sent my control box to Andy for blown speaker last week. Anyone know what the turn around time for return has been.
