Track Progress:
This feature allows you to send and save your location and allow
contacts to track your progress in near real time using Google Maps.
With your SPOT account you have the ability to set up a SPOT Shared
Page which allows you to show your SPOT GPS locations to others on a
Google Map.
Power:
To turn SPOT on simply press and hold the ON/OFF button until the
button blinks green. SPOT performs a self-diagnostic test. When power
is ON, the button will blink green every 3 seconds. This is helpful for
making SPOT more visible in the dark. To turn SPOT off, press and hold
the ON/OFF button until the light stops blinking.
Self Test:
SPOT performs a self-test when you initially turn on your SPOT. If all
visible lights flash red, the SPOT self-test has found a failure, and
SPOT will not send a message. If the On/Off light, GPS light and
Message Sending light all blink red, SPOT has a GPS failure, but SPOT
may still be able to transmit an SOS or HELP message without your GPS
location.

SPOT Message
Schedule: SPOT is designed to provide outstanding quality and
reliability. With a perfect view of the entire sky, the SPOT Messenger
is designed to transmit virtually every message. In everyday
conditions, the view of the sky is often blocked due to hills,
buildings, or other obstructions so it is normal for some messages to
be blocked. That is why the SPOT Messenger automatically sends multiple
messages in every mode, giving you excellent overall reliability. In
some modes this means multiple attempts to send the same message, while
in other modes it means regularly updating GPS coordinates and sending
a new message. Placement of your SPOT unit can make a difference.
Experiment with placement until you are familiar with the reliability
of your operating environment.
