Help with new detector

I recently purchased a BH Platinum, I have not taken it out yet just getting familiar with it indoors. I bought a new alkaline battery and played around for a few minutes, battery indicator shows fully charged. After I turn it off it will not turn back on. I switched batteries, it turned on, if I turn it off and back on within a few seconds it comes on without problems, if I wait thirty seconds it will not turn back on, sometimes taking the battery out and putting it back in or changing batteries work sometimes not. Sometimes I can unplug the cord coming from the coil and plug it back in and it works, sometimes not. Anything I am missing or did I get a lemon.
 
The problem sounds like it is in the electronics. It could be a switch or button. It could also be a loose wire. You should take or send it back where you bought it for and exchange.
 
The store where I purchased it has a new one on the way, very nice to deal with, they did ask me to call First Texas, and talk to a tech. first but that was no problem. Both places were super nice.
