Software Upload Suggestion

[5900_XL-1]

I've discovered that a factory preset still leaves my old custom settings, and that isn't a total reset/preset. I suggest viewing your settings to see if everything was reset, and if it isn't, power off and do another FP and check again. I have done several software changes and had some odd behavior in the first ones. I just assumed that the FP was iron clad.

It can't hurt to preset until you get an absolute clean sweep of all settings. Hope this helps.

Did you do a FP before or after the upgrade?

Ok set all parameters to non default values and do a hard reset and let us know if they aren’t cleared.

Some of the settings are global, some are semi-global, and then one of the detecting modes is saved under the User Profile. The latter is not affected by FP unless you switch the detector to it, and then do a FP.
In my view it's very possible that the updates leave some of the settings alone, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I would do a FP of every mode used by the detector to return it to factory settings, and then install the update.

The thing I discovered, is that a FP will leave sensitivity, tones set to 50, and recovery speed on my 600. A followup FP at that time, usually changes all those setting back to what came out of the box. That last FP is what I call a trustworthy factory preset.

I want to be starting "virgin" on any electronics when I get odd responses after an upload, THEN see good results again simply by repeating it all, A-Z. That triggers the idea that the system has not been left totally cleared. It was like that in the earliest days of computers. "It is all trons."
