new to equinox600 how can you tell what update you have on a new detector

 

[Quake]

Download the update, hook up the usb wire from the charging cord to your pc
and the other end to the charging port on the equinox turn your detector on and hit the update file.
It should ask if you want to update it or not, or will say that it's up to date with the version you have.
Could you let me know if your's was updated or not when you bought it, I just got another 600 and it was updated
seemed strange as the other ones i had where not.

You can also look on the box it came in....
That will state what version it has.
Look at the label that is on the end of the box.

I believe so... mine had version 1.75 and the new update was already out, so I had to update it... I think the newest version is 2.0.
Sounds like you are all set... now get out there and start swinging!!

I knew that I had read this somewhere! I could not find it till now, after asking others on Youtube. Now, what are the advantages of the newest software? An advantage in notching out the pull tabs? When the old software is installed the screen has a different reading?
Thanks!

You can look at Minelabs website to read about the new update, but in short it gives you an additional iron bias (F2), which has more aggressive disc. for bottle caps.
There are some other advantages of the update also, but I believe this is the main reason for developing it.
