Anyone running an 800 or 600 ever experience the headphone icon is showing connected but still no sound in the earpiece ?
I always check my equipment before leaving the house including pairing up the headphones I will be using. Sunday was no different but when I put my earbuds on to hunt, no sound. Look down, headphone icon confirms connection but nothing. I turn off the bluetooth, try connecting my Avantrees, same thing no good. Again I try the Ml 80s and nothing. 3 factory resets and I tried all 3 units again. Shutting off bluetooth and restarting each time. I did notice the red&blue lights flashing on the ear pieces indicating still searching. I did give plenty of time for each unit too connect. Now I'm standing out in the hot sun while all this going on, starting to sweat and getting aggravated. I finally said to heck with it and hunted in Factory Park 1 w/ speaker.
Funny thing is when I got home I did another factory reset and all 3 units paired up. Anyone ever experience a failure like this ?
So now its a trust issue if or when it will fail again. This 800 is out of warranty and I happen like this particular machine and don't want to send it off to Minelab for a replacement. If it happens again I'm afraid I will have to. If it was a one time glitch thats one thing but if leaves me driving the convertible again I'll have no choice. Mark
