I went out for a hunt at the beach today, and towards the end of my hunt my CTX suddenly stopped making sounds (I'm not using headphones nor WM module). I can still see the numbers and it responds to targets, there's just no audio. Not sure why it did this, but I was pretty frustrated and a little worried too.
Got home, audio is still not working so I think maybe water got into it (I don't know how this is possible because I wasn't in the water, although it did rain, but isn't this machine waterproof to 10ft anyway??). I try my headphones on my detector and they seem to work fine. Haven't tried the WM.
So I have a look inside the battery compartment and it's dry. I then open up the compartment above the battery and that's dry too.
I turn the detector on again, and voila, I hear the start up tone! I then try a coin, nothing. I see the reading on the screen, 12:07, but there's no audio. I turn the detector off, and then on again, I hear the tone, but just before I can test the coin, the detector turns itself off. Then I turn the detector on again, I hear the start up tone, I test the coin, everything seems to be working fine. I leave the detector running for a few more minutes testing the coin every now and then and it seems to work fine.
My question, what do you think has caused this? Is there a problem with the detector, and if so, what can I do about it?
