Help with navigating the V3i menu

[Cheka]

Hi… I’m an 80 year old new member who is coming back to relic hunting after 45 years. I‘ve just purchased a new Deus II for use as my primary machine, and I found an almost new in the box 3V1 for my backup detector.

I spent much of the afternoon going through the V3i owner’s manual, but have become stumped when trying to operate and navigate through the menu . I’m attempting to enter my name as the owner, but can’t figure how to backspace to get rid of the prior owners name. While I was in the menus today, I also accidentally changed the language and can’t figure out how to get back and correct that.

Is it possible for me to take a few minutes of your time to help me sort this out and get my machine set up properly? I’ll be glad to compensate you for your time.

Thanks in advance,
Keith (Cheka)

When you set the owner name, there is a password that goes with it. If you don't have the password, you can't easily change it.

From page 12 of the manual:

Unfortunately if you don't have the password you may not be able to change it, at least according to this thread.

Thank you very much for your response. Yes, I have the password (fortunately) and navigated to the owner’s name window successfully. I added my name, but can’t figure out how it delete the former owners name. I was following the instructions from the owner’s guide that you kindly pasted above. When I repeatedly try to backspace to erase or redo a digit, it isn’t working. Does the sequence of “squeezing and releasing the trigger, ARROW back to that digit, and press ENTER to bring the keyboard back, then redo that digit.” Unfortunately, when following that sequence, the old digit stays in place. Any help will be greatly appreciated… Keith
