MOD Live FAQ
MOD LIVE BATTERY
How can I get a full charge?
Steps to take:
• Check that you are using the Recon AC adapter and USB cable included in the MOD Live box.
• Check that the AC cable says Recon Instruments.
• Check that the MOD LIVE power is turned off.
• Check that the red light above the USB port appears.
This shows that MOD LIVE is still charging.
• Check that your PC or Mac is turned on and not in standby mode.
• Check that the port on your PC or Mac is a USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard port).
Why does my battery drain so quickly?
There are reasons why a battery can drain quickly. Extremely low temperatures can cause a quick
drain. At -10°C (14°F), a fully charged battery lasts between 6 to 8 hours. If the temperature dips
below -20°C (-4°F), the charge won't last as long. Using Bluetooth features can also lead to a
quick drain.
Tips to prolong battery life:
• Choose DISPLAY OFF mode.
• Lower the brightness setting.
• Limit using Bluetooth connectivity features such as MUSIC, PHONE, and BUDDY TRACKING.
• Avoid using MOD Live at temperatures below -20°C (-4°F).
