I tested mine last night as well and got the same result you did.

Did you leave it sitting without touching it? I have not bothered to test this yet but if you move it, I do believe you reset the lost timer..

Interesting, I will have to try mine tomorrow.. will let you know what i findI did. After sitting on the ground away from metal, it was not touched. Tried different sensitivity settings, tried with a ground grab, even tried a Master Reset, but still silent for 10 minutes until daDA sound, it shut itself off.
I have two Garrett PPs and they are awesome, but the TRX is even more awesomerest! (That is a word and proper grammar here in Utah for all you English majors and spell check police)
Honestly I really do like the whites more. It is faster, deeper, and the ratcheting thing rocks! I don't have to super charge it like my PPs but still can if I want to. Now that I've used it for almost three weeks I can't go back because of how slow to turn on and off the PP is especially when I'm trying to detune the Garrett in the hole. I know I'm significantly faster overall with the bullseye II. I also love that it takes AAs and I got a ton of hours on my first set. I just had to put new ones in last night for the first time. This will save me $$$$!
The on flip side the TRX is more unstable and does get EFI sometimes but one click down stops it. I also thought I could somehow select beep, vibrate or both but have not been able to figure out how. I did not know of the lost alarm until reading this thread but I think mine has beeped once due to this when I left it on in my house but I really don't know. It also does not feel as durable as the Garrett so I'll have to see if it holds up as well. I have hunted with the TRX in the rain and had it get soaked without any visible leaks, which has not been the cases with my PPs, one of which has water damage inside and has lost the vibration even though I've calked them with a ton of silicon.
I'm not hating on the Garrett, but I am buying another whites soon for backup, they are worth it to me.

As silly as it may sound, read the manual that came with the TRX, it will explain how to set the vib/beep settings.
There's a Manual? I never read those things! I like the adventure of using stuff wrong! Actually I have tried to, but I can't find it, I have the box but I think I threw away the info in the plastic bag.
The biggest advantage and why the TRX is in my opinion is far better is the depth. 4 inches on a coin is absolutely the real. I don't want to dig a big plug if I don't have to and with the TRX. I can pinpoint exactly where the target is so accuretly including its depth I can dig the optimal plug or just do a coin pop. I was trying to do the same with my GPP and it was not even close.
During the half hour or so I was exclusively using the GPP I found myself trying to use It like the TRX and I was getting frustrated. The ranching alone is well worth the price it cost to upgrade.
LOL Can we say 6" +?? Might have to try it. LOL.
Yup. Gets you directly over a deeper object than the GPP. Makes my life easier with less digging.Don't think it will work because the detection fields are different.
On a side note, the TRX does a good job of educating on real actual depths of targets recovered.
the Shepherd Hardware Products leg tips (used for chair legs) in the 3/4 size is what you need. Home Depot and Lowes should have them.
