Intermittent pulses on no target

[janiece]

Yesterday I used my 570 pretty hard - I pulled a LOT of tiny pieces of wire out of one hole. The probe started giving me two pulses and would do it if I held it in the air away from everything. I took the battery out and put it back in and changed the battery. I finally decided to quit for the day if I couldn't trust my probe (I'm spoiled already!)

I haven't turned it on since then but was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue with theirs. I'm hoping that when I turn it on again it will be miraculously fixed!

Thanks!

I have the 560 model - and the only intermittent (wierd) thing that has happened off and on for the past year is that once in a while when I'm hunting for something it will give a weaker than usual vibration when close to the target and shut off. I'm not sure if this is because the battery was getting weak (I changed batteries both times).

I have not experienced what you are talking about....hope it's nothing serious...

My 570 and 250 will seem to carry on their own little conversation if they are too close to one another!

Yeah they can have quite a party when the 570 and the 250 are close together! That's not what was happening yesterday so I'm hoping it was just a transient issue.

I hope it is nothing. I had the 560 and really just did not use it much? The only issue I found that it would at times it would not read the object until I just about touched the item, Beale.

I've had the same type of thing happen with my V730 ; don't use it much now, but need to start again because I'm not going to pay that kind of money to have it sitting in my bag.

Also found I have to turn off my Titan when I turn on the V730 because both of them go ape-wild when they are both on at the same time.

I have had this problem on several different ocassions. By detaching the battery and re-attaching it resets the 570. Not sure why it does it but am very curious as what to do about it.
