Is it me or does multiple customs don’t work? (I know got to be on 5 tones)

[Truth]

I just spent the last 30 minuets customizing all my 4 field modes and after every one I press the custom button until it’s a solid figure. I do realize you must always have it on 5 tones to do multiple customs, but they’re not staying. I’ll turn the customize off then back on and nothing stayed. What am I doing wrong?

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?

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.

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.

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

Now that actually made me laugh

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.
