IMPORTANT SPOT INFORMATION
Before you start, here are a few important things to remember to get maximum reliability from SPOT:
IMPORTANT: YOUR SPOT REQUIRES AN ACTIVE SPOT SERVICE SUBSCRIPTION TO
COMMUNICATE. SPOT GEN3 FEATURES, INCLUDING S.O.S., WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT
FIRST ACTIVATING YOUR DEVICE. VISIT FINDMESPOT.COM/ACTIVATE TO GET STARTED.
SPOT needs a clear view of the sky to obtain a GPS signal and provide the most accurate
location information. It is not reliable indoors, in a cave, or in very dense woods. Sunshine is
more fun anyway!
Orienting SPOT so that the SPOT logo is facing up toward the sky will improve performance, as
the antenna is located under the logo. The coolest adventurers place SPOT on their backpacks.
Keep SPOT at least 12 inches away from other GPS devices. SPOT can interfere with the
signal reception of aircraft navigation systems and other GPS devices.
Take advantage of our 2½, 5, 10, 30, and 60 minute tracking options to track your progress
at varying rates; learn more during activation.
Before you head out, send a test Check In message to evaluate the operational conditions
and ensure successful receipt of your message.
