11. Tips and Troubleshooting
Display is temporarily washed out and hard to read
1. Avoid exposing the display to direct sunlight, this reacts with the liquid crystals momentarily causing that
'washed out' appearance
2. Display should become clear again when protected from sunlight, allow it to sit until bright colours return
Display fails to reactivate after selecting "DISPLAY OFF"
1. Hold the Power/Select button to power MOD off, then power back on
GPS Fix takes longer than 10 minutes
GPS technology works best in open spaces with a clear view of the sky. Obstructions such as buildings and
trees can degrade the signal. Additionally MOD will take longer to acquire a GPS fix when it is first powered on
after being off for a long time.
1. If you are having difficulty acquiring a GPS fix try moving to a more open location.
2. If MOD still does not acquire a location fix, hold the Power/Select button to power MOD off, then power back
on
3. Contact Recon Support at
MOD fails to charge fully in 4 hours
1. Ensure red light around micro USB port is activated to indicate charging
2. When charging with PC/Mac, use a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a USB port intended for keyboard)
3. MOD may not charge when connected to a PC/Mac that is powered off or in standby mode
4. MOD was designed for use with the provided USB cable and AC adapter. MOD may not charge properly using

party cables or adapters
5. For the fastest and most reliable charging, use the AC adapter instead of PC/Mac and power off MOD before
charging
MOD displays solid RED or GREEN screen when not connected to PC/Mac
1. Hold the Power/Select button to power MOD off, then power back on
Data is not logged properly or MEMORY FULL popup appears
1. MOD can store Up to 50 hours of data in onboard memory. If data is missing when you connect to Recon HQ
and/or you see the MEMORY FULL popup appear on the screen of the goggle, then it is time to empty MOD's
memory.
2. You can use Recon HQ to clear space on your MOD. Simply check the box "DELETE AFTER DOWNLOAD" when
you download data to your PC/Mac
3. Recon Instruments recommends frequently transferring data to your PC/Mac to maintain the health and
performance of MOD
MOD's speedometer displays inaccurate speeds
1. MOD uses GPS to determine speed. GPS technology works best in open spaces with a clear view of the sky.
Obstructions such as buildings and trees can degrade the signal. If you observe unusual speeds, try moving to
a more open location.
2. GPS performance is poorest when it is first powered on. GPS reliability should improve as more GPS satellite
are located by MOD
