Have to send etrac back

[brother steve]

Have to send my etrac back as I don't have any volume in the speakers. Went out Friday coin shooting ,just to get familiar with the etrac and was having a good time. Learned a lot and was feeling more comfortable with the machine. Sunday I went to an old site that I was researching and got all ready ,turned on the machine and no volume. Tapped the box once or twice and on it came. Huh? I found a target and put the etrac down to dig and no sound again. This happened a couple of times. Then it just quit. Plugged in the headphones and it worked fine. I called Minelab and they were real nice and told me to send it back they would take care of everything including the shipping. I feel like I sent my kid away to summer camp or something. So ,study up on some sites till she gets back. I did realize through all this ,that headphones bring in a lot more sounds and tones that I did not hear with the speaker. So I am working on some wireless headphones and I will keep you posted on those.

Headphones make a HUGE difference on deep ones. Even a cheap pair helps tons!

I know the feeling. I had to send mine in for an adjustment a couple years ago. Minelab will have it back yo you soon. If you need any help with questions while it is away give us a shout.

I know how you feel... I just sent mine back to Minelab yesterday for replacement.

The speaker went out in my etrac also. I use head phones but it is nice to take the phones off on hot days.

Speakers just annoy people around you. Minelab would be better off leaving them out and saving a few more ounces in weight.
