Not quite understanding what you are trying to do Truth. What do you mean by "4 field modes", do you mean 4 non-ferrous tone breaks in field mode? Are you trying to set different breakpoints for the 5 tones or different pitch settings for the five tones?
 

User Profile* EQUINOX 800 features an additional User Profile side button that saves a copy of the current detector settings for future quick access.
User Profile stores the set values of all current local settings so that you can access them instantly later.
The default settings for the User Profile are a copy of Park Mode Search Profile 1.
Save a User Profile 1. Select the Detect Mode you wish to use as a basis for your User Profile. Adjust the settings you wish to save. 2. Make sure you are in the Detect Screen, not the Settings Menu. 3. Press and hold the User Profile button on the right side of the control panel.
4. The User Profile icon on the LCD will begin to flash rapidly. It will then remain on and a rising confirmation tone will sound, indicating that the User Profile has been saved.
You can save over the User Profile at any time by repeating the above procedure.
Activating the User Profile Press the User Profile button at any time to re-activate the saved User Profile.
The User Profile icon will appear on the LCD when the User Profile is active.
Any changes made to local settings when the User Profile is active will be saved automatically.
To exit from the User Profile, press either the User Profile button or the Detect Mode button. Settings will return to the last-used Detect Mode Search Profile and the User Profile icon will turn off


This is from the manual pg 33. I don't think you can save 4 different custom modes to 1 user profile.. only one mode can be saved as a user profile as I understand it.

Sorry Park 1, Park 2, Field 1, Field 2. I custom set all 4 of these modes and saved them on each and they don’t save.

Thank you so much. Well I thought that as well. It wouldn’t let me until I realized that if you put them all in 5 tones it let you. But maybe it just took the place of the last one I did.
 

I save all my setups for my equinox in a coffee can in the garage. I never loose them that way.....

So you are trying to customized 5-tones in all of the above search profiles. How are you saving them? If you are long pressing on the detect mode push button, then you are actually resetting each of the modes to their factory default setting and erasing any customizations you have done. Customizations to settings, should just "stick" in the search profile once you have made them. They are saved automatically until you change them again so no need to do anything or press buttons to save them. So just exit out of settings mode and your customized search profile should be good to go. HTH

Thanks v yeah that’s what I was doing. You’re beginning to be one of my best friends. Lol
Check out my Today’s Finds MAJOR BUCKET LISTER for me.
 

There is only one user profile. You can customize each mode, and it will remember what they are, and you can also save ONE custom profile for the "user profile" button on the right.

That's it.
 

I find old pickle jars are better you can just see the settings thru the glass and don't have to go poking around like you do the coffee cans.
Just kidding, believe me I have had my share of Equinox 800 puzzles since I came from using the AT Pro.
