MOD DATA
IMPORTANT NOTE: MOD 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. steps and
advice in this section.
Why is the speed
value wrong?
MOD uses GPS technology to determine speed. When you turn on
MOD, you need to wait ten minutes for it to acquire satellite data.
GPS technology works best in open spaces with a 360 degree view of
the sky which gives access to at least three satellites. Being in a valley,
beside a tree, building or rock face can block MOD from getting GPS
coverage. Avoid using MOD inside buildings and gondolas or near
solid obstructions such as trees and rock faces can interrupt GPS
coverage and cause incorrect data to appear.
Steps to take:
1. Change location. Move to an open location with a clear view of
the sky. If you are in a valley or gulley, move to higher ground.
2. Wait for the GPS indicator icon to show two or three green
signals.
3. If changing location does not help, restart MOD by turning the
power off and on again.
4. If you can’t get a GPS signal, contact Recon Support.
