Thanks Rick.

Oh dear, it looks like owners of second-hand [previously owned] machines won't be eligible,unless they are lucky enough to have all the original purchasers paperwork.
I was contemplating getting this upgrade, but have no such paperwork.

I purchased mine second hand too and this sucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From my read, if you purchased the detector from an authorized dealer, you can get the upgrade. If you don't have the paperwork for the purchase, then you can't buy the extended warranty. So I have to remember who I bought it from a couple years ago--I did send it back to Fisher once and told them I bought it from the dealer and they fixed it and shipped it back for free. Great Service!

Indeed , unit has to have been purchased from an authorized dealer as well.
Why would they not offer the upgrade to any unit , especially if you're willing to pay the shipping?
In addition , if you bought either the regular or ltd version before July 1st , you now can pay them $99 to lose nearly 2 years of the factory warranty to get a warranty that is transferrable--what's up with that? Are they going to do something during the upgrade that makes the machines warranty better? Why isn't the original transferrable?
Who's running this company , the IRS?

You can also buy Optional Extended Warranty:

2 Year - $69.00

With 3 year option warranty becomes transferable

Thats really good for them to do this for their customers.. Myself am impressed

Well just paid for the upgrade...for a black F75...it says shipping is free(at first told me to mail machine and I called back and said shipping is free!.....if you are getting upgrade...well they have to send me a label(though the mail).....you have to pay one way if you have a new machine and are getting the upgrade free. Mine was bought used and it went though?

The poor guy on the phone at fisher... is going to be stir crazy when this is done!

I hope they won't be wanting to read off the serial number in order to re-program it into the new firmware. Mine wore off the label a long time ago.

I see a test garden run in Toms future.

Well it is a little bit confusing – but anybody can get the upgrade you just order it online they send you a receipt and you ship in your detector anybody can purchase the extended warranty also. If you have an existing warranty and one that warranty extended by one year or two years or three years and if you want the free upgrade you have to furnish proof of purchase.

Oh yeah by the way somehow or another you manage to get hold of the fake F-75 you're out of luck.

I asked about how the warranty extension works, and if I understood the answer correctly, it is like this:

If you buy the 3 year transferable warranty;

1. With no existing warranty you now have a 3 years transferable.
2. With 1 year left, you now have 4 years and all are transferable
3. With 2 years left, you now have 5 years and all are transferable
4. With 4 years left, you now have 7 years and all are transferrable
5. With 4 years and 4 months, you now have 7 years and 4 months and all are transferable

yup!..me too! he is DEFINITELY" going to want
to check it out! should make for some very interesting reading!

(h.h.!)
j.t.

I have 1 question ... Are the new fishers going to have a transferrable warranty? Fisher would take a lot of business from other companies if they offered a transferrable warranty..

Maybe, one could also argue it would hurt their business as they sell new units and the used market would be boosted. Expect a price adjustment if they do. Both for small sales decrease and extra warranty support needed.

I imagine people wont buy a fisher based on lower resale value ?? I held off for that very reason..

They list these as part of the upgrade, are these new features?

4 levels of FE Tone
Adjustable Audio Pitch
