not working out of box

[scottee]

Hey just wondering if anyone else has ever recieved a detector that did not work right out of the box?

I am presuming this just happened to you? If so which detector? I am just wondering. Now when you say not working, how? I guess I am wanting to know if it even turns on or what? Thanks in advance.

If it will not even turn on, and you are using new batts, call the dealer, Beale.

I suppose buying something, only to find out it don't work when you got it home, has happened to most of us. I had it happen on a desktop PC I bought a few years ago. And, the oven didn't work on an electric range we bought earlier this year. I've also had it happen on three detectors over the years. (and I've bought a lot of detectors) Two of the detectors were "drop shipped" from the manufacturer, so the dealer didn't have an opportunity to test it prior to shipping. The other one was tested by the dealer prior to shipping. But didn't work properly when I got it. (none were Minelabs, by the way) If you bought a new detector, and it didn't work when you bought it, call your dealer. The dealers I do business with sent me replacements immediately. And they also provided a call tag to have the units returned to the manufacturer. Most dealers recognize that A-1 service = repeat business. JMHO HH Randy
