- Page 50 Will the display automatically turn off after a period of inactivity? Yes, after five minutes when MOD Live isn’t being used. Why is my display frozen? This may be due to the remote controller. Try using another remote if you have one. Steps to take: 1. Perform a factory reset. 2. Turn the power on. 3. If the display continues to look washed out, contact Recon Support at www.reconinstruments.com/support Page 50 MOD Live User Manual | Version 1.1 | © 2012 Recon Instruments Inc | All rights reserved | www.reconinstruments.com...
- Page 51 This happens when you leave your goggles stored in a very cold location (outdoors overnight, in the trunk of a vehicle). Steps to take: 1. Warm up MOD LIVE (with the power turned off) for at least ten minutes. Move indoors, or wear it. 2. If the display doesn’t appear when you turn the power on, charge up the MOD LIVE battery for an hour using the Recon AC adapter. 3.

- Page 52 Why is the display hard to read? The default brightness setting isn’t meant for a dark day or using MOD LIVE for night skiing. Change the brightness setting or turn off the display.

- Page 53 Why can’t I see the edge of the display? Steps to take: 1. Tilt or rotate the head of the micro-optic display. 2. Tighten the strap of your goggles. 3. Check that the MOD LIVE is snapped into your goggles. MOD LIVE DATA IMPORTANT NOTE: MOD LIVE can lose data or lose its connection to the remote controller due to electromagnetic interference. Sources of interference include transmission towers, two-way radios, wireless devices, industrial devices operating on RF frequency as well as motion sensors, remote controls, and microwave ovens. GPS technology works best in open spaces with access to at least three satellites. As long as the line of sight is clear, you won’t have any problems getting a satellite signal. Using MOD LIVE inside buildings and gondolas or near solid obstructions such as trees and rock faces can interrupt GPS coverage and cause incorrect data to appear. Page 53 MOD Live User Manual | Version 1.1 | © 2012 Recon Instruments Inc | All rights reserved | www.reconinstruments.com...
- Page 54 Why does the dashboard show a solid white bar but no speed? While MOD Live is waiting for a GPS signal, the dashboard speedometer displays “--”until it can calculate a valid speed from GPS data. Steps to take: 1. Wait for a few minutes after the GPS indicator turns green. 2. Restart MOD LIVE: turn the power off, wait a few seconds, and then turn the power on. 3. If the problem persists, contact www.reconinstruments.com/support for support Page 54 MOD Live User Manual | Version 1.1 | © 2012 Recon Instruments Inc | All rights reserved | www.reconinstruments.com...
- Page 55 Why is the altitude wrong? MOD Live is designed for use between 0m and 8850m altitude (measured from sea level), and should be used only MOD Live calculates altitude using a combination of air pressure and GPS data. When MOD LIVE is not moving, data from the air pressure sensor is changed to match the GPS reading. Storms affect air pressure, causing the altitude to decrease. In clear weather, altitude data will increase. Steps to take: 1. If you have been sitting or standing in an open area for more than a half hour, turn MOD LIVE off and on. 2. Wait ten minutes. 3. Turn MOD Live back on. Page 55 MOD Live User Manual | Version 1.1 | © 2012 Recon Instruments Inc | All rights reserved | www.reconinstruments.com...
- Page 56 Why is my temperature data higher than it should be? The temperature sensor is contained in the remote controller, not in MOD Live. If you are wearing the remote controller inside a pocket, jacket, cuff or backpack, the temperature will be a few degrees higher. If the remote controller is worn close to your body, the temperature will be affected by your body heat. Steps to take: 1. Wear the remote on your wrist, goggle outside your jacket instead of keeping in an inside pocket. 2. Wait a few minutes for MOD Live’s temperature sensor to adjust. Page 56 MOD Live User Manual | Version 1.1 | © 2012 Recon Instruments Inc | All rights reserved | www.reconinstruments.com...
- Page 57 Why does my temperature show –C°? This means that MOD Live is waiting for a temperature reading. Why does MOD Live show a value of – 0? MOD Live truncates a value to the nearest digit. A value of .1 to .9 will appear as 0. Why doesn’t STATS show any averages? Unless you are on a sloped surface, no average will be calculated. MOD Live does not record averages when you use it on level terrain.
