	Sending back to the factory « on: October 07, 2009, 04:38:37 pm »

My cibola needs to be sent back to the factory. It sounding off a continual tone. I called and they said it have to be sent back to be checked out.
Any one else every sent theirs back ? Any problems with the warrenity?

Tim, I am going to make a huge leap here and ask if you have checked your battery. Tesoro detectors have a constant tone when the battery gets too weak to work any longer.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

You know what I did check it, with a battery I had at the house, not pran spanking new tho. Oh crap I will get a new one and check it before I send it. I thought it would just stop working when the batt. was low.
Thanks
Tim

Make sure it's a fresh alkaline battery. When the battery gets weak, the signal stays constant. When it gets REALLY weak, it makes a very short, fading beep. It might save your detector one round trip to the factory.

I was wishing you were correct.
Thanks again.

Bummer. Did you check all connectors? A loose coil connector might do that.

Make sure the battery you checked it with was a good quality battery too (Something like a DURACEL), cheap ones sometimes just don?t cut it !! Cool

how many time's does it beep when you turn it on ,,10 beeps is full strength and 5 is about time to think about a new battery and 3 beep's you hope you have a spare while hunting ,,,If it is just a buzz when you power up it up ,,good idea to send it in that's what a lifetime warranty is for goodluck

When I turned it on I got six beeps, did buy a energizer dated for 2012 when I tried that one got 8 or more. Checked all of the conections. Just seems wierd, I was doing really good then all the sudden it started going like the pinpiont was stuck but a lower pitch. And I did push the pin piont butt just to check if it was stuck thats when I realized the different pitch. Never been dropped never hit water. Undecided

But thanks for all the feed back.
