wireless headphones shutting down

[thedoc]

I was out hunting today and it seemed like every time i pinpointed and let off the toggle my headphones would shut down ..i would turn them on again and every thing would be good until i pinpointed again ..shut down 5 times so i went back to the wired headphones to finish my hunt...any information on why this is happening ..........thedoc

That is a new problem to me. I would try changing the settings in the Audio menu as per the Troubleshooting guide. I'm sure you have already tried replacing the batteries.

TROUBLESHOOTING -
Substandard wireless sound, or built-in Speaker beeps when
Wireless are used.

These would be my guess.

Select a different wireless channel.
Increase Wireless Power

Might also try putting a piece of foam or something between batteries and the cap that holds them in. They may be a bit loose. Yazoo

Were you hunting with another V3i user? I have seen the shutdown problem when more than one V3i is in close proximity. Changing to a different wireless channel will solve it.

Only V3i's are affected. We noticed it at club hunts when several detectors came back from upgrading to V3i. The V3 was never affected. I saw this happen with 4 different V3i's, one of them being mine.

Let us know what solves your problem

Well it was a big "DUH" on my part ..Went back out this morning and checked the voltage of the batteries in the headphone and it showed 1.69 volts put in a new set and went hunting for about two hours with no problems.....I hope i am not the only one who forgets to check the obvious......thedoc.....thanks for the replies even if it was my error
