• How long do I need to charge my Modius?

  We advise plugging your Modius into a power supply and leaving it to charge until the solid amber light goes out. A standard charge will take approximately 2-3 hours depending on the power source. Check your Modius app to get an indication of how much charge your headset has. A battery symbol will be visible when the headset is connected to the app. If you have a flashing amber light when trying to charge your headset, this indicates it is not charging properly.

• How much weight can I expect to lose?

  This is a question without an exact answer. Every individual responds to Modius differently, and it depends on how much you weigh when you begin using the headset.
