Caution:
Refer to the information and instructions provided before using the Modius
™
headset.
Only place electrode gel pads on the mastoids, behind the ears, as directed in the
instructions provided. Do not place on your chest or elsewhere on the head or neck.
Do not use if you are pregnant, have reflex epilepsy triggered by vestibular stimulation
or wear a pacemaker.
Use of Modius
™

Do’s
• Only apply the pads to the mastoids, the hard bony area behind your ear, as
directed in the instructions above. Do not place on your chest or elsewhere on the
head or neck. See “How to wear your Headset”.
• Use only while seated or lying down.
• Keep this product away from children. No-one under the age of 18 should use this
product.
Do Not’s
• Do not use if you are pregnant, have reflex epilepsy triggered by vestibular
stimulation, or have an implanted pacemaker, cardiac defibrillator, or
neurostimulation device. Note: Modius
™
stimulates the brain’s vestibular
(balance) system. So while this should not affect most people with epilepsy, it
could trigger a seizure in someone with reflex vestibular epilepsy. If in doubt,
potential users with epilepsy should first chat things over with their family doctor.
• Do not use while mobile (moving) as it can affect your sense of balance.
• Do not use while consuming alcohol, driving, or operating machinery of any kind.
• Do not use in wet environments or immerse the headset in water.
• Do not share your gel pads with anyone else. They are for single person use only.
• Do not use a pad for longer than the recommended 1 hour per session.
• It is recommended to dispose of the pad after each use. Prolonged or repeated
use of any one pad may reduce its effectiveness or lead to irritation of the skin.
• Do not apply the pads to broken or irritated skin.
• Remove pads carefully from the skin after use. Dispose of pads in a suitable
container or bin.
• Do not try to remove the batteries. They are non-user replaceable.
