Annoying Beep

[Bobbo]

Hi

I've just received my Proteus and am really impressed so far ( the visuals are incredible and I've only just begun experimenting! )

However, when I play a preset the left and right decimal points flash on and off which is ok BUT there is an accompanying noise that sounds like a distant car alarm ,in time with the flashing , which makes it impossible to relax.The only way around it is to raise the volume to drown it out but then it's too loud to be comfortable!

Have I missed something obvious here? (remember I'm a newbie :-) )

Thanks, Rob.

Hi,

what you hear is the electrical noise from the digits of the display "blinking".

Once the session is running do press the lower button - several times - until the display is off. That should kill most of the noise.

Thanks for the info Mindman

It worked

I was beginning to obsess on that tiny background noise but your advice has cleared it completely!!

Thanks again,
Rob.

Mindman, not sure if you're still around but thank you for that tip! You just saved me a lot of time and aggravation. My Proteus now works flawlessly with rechargeable batteries.
