The great outdoors can be a big, uncertain place. But you’ve just
purchased the most peace of mind available for the active outdoor
adventurer or smartly-prepared individual. SPOT is the world’s first
satellite messenger, using the GPS satellite system to determine your
location and communications satellites to transmit that information to
the chosen recipient. SPOT gives you and your loved ones peace of mind
by allowing you to notify them or a GEOS International 9-1-1 Emergency
Response Center of your exact location via Google Maps™, and to send for
assistance in time of need around the world, completely independent of
cellular phone or other land-based radio coverage. To begin using SPOT,
visit findmespot.com to select a service plan and activate.

GPS satellites provide coordinates.
SPOT messenger’s onboard GPS chip determines your exact coordinates and sends your
location and message to the SPOT satellite system.
SPOT commercial satellites relay your message to specific satellite antennas around the
world.
Satellite antennas and supporting equipment route your message and location to the
appropriate network.
Your message is delivered according to your instructions via text message, email or
emergency notification via the response center.
Powered by Google Maps™
When SPOT sends a text or email message to one of your contacts or to a GEOS International
9-1-1 Emergency Response Center, it includes your exact coordinates and a web link to view
your location using Google Maps™.

SPOT has a separate power button to ensure long battery life and to help avoid sending
messages accidentally. To turn SPOT on, press the ON/OFF button. You must then wait an
additional 2 seconds before activating any SPOT function. When power is on, the indicator
light will blink once every 3 seconds. This is also helpful for making SPOT more visible in
the dark. To turn SPOT off, press and hold the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds.
SPOT is designed for maximum reliability. SPOT performs a self-diagnostic test each time it
is powered on. Additionally, SPOT strongly recommends that you send and verify an
OK√message each time before use. This allows you to evaluate the entire messaging
system, from the operational condition of the messenger to the readiness of those you’ve
chosen to receive your messages.
Use this option in the event of a life threatening or other critical emergency.
The Emergency Response Center notifies the appropriate emergency responders
based on your location and personal information – which may include local
police, highway patrol, the Coast Guard, your country’s embassy or consulate, or
other emergency response or search & rescue teams – as well as contacting the primary and
secondary emergency contact numbers you have entered in the SPOT web service. Even if SPOT
cannot acquire its location from the GPS network, it will still attempt to send a distress signal
– without exact location – to the Emergency Response Center. There is no test mode. If you
activate the 9-1-1 function, the Emergency Response Center will treat it as a real emergency.
In an emergency, press and hold the 9-1-1 button for at least 2 seconds. A distress signal
and your exact location will be sent to an Emergency Response Center every 5 minutes until
cancelled. Once activated, the indicator light will blink green every 3 seconds, and turn solid
green for 5 seconds when a message is being sent.
Press and hold the 9-1-1 button for at least 3 seconds. The blinking green light will blink red
to indicate that it is preparing to send a “Cancel” message, and will then turn solid red for 5
seconds to indicate that the message has been sent.
Use this option in the event of a non-life-threatening situation to notify your
SPOTteam – the friends and family you have chosen to notify – that you need
assistance. Or, in the event of a life-threatening emergency, 9-1-1 and HELP
can be activated simultaneously to notify both the Emergency Response Center
and your SPOTteam that you are in distress. Even if SPOT cannot acquire its
location from the GPS network, it will still attempt to send a distress signal – without exact
location – to your selected contacts.
Press and hold the HELP button for 2 seconds. The SPOTteam members you have specified in
your online account will receive your pre-programmed HELP message via text message and/or
email with a link to Google Maps™ with your exact location. Once activated, the indicator light
will blink green every 3 seconds, and turn solid green for 5 seconds when a message is being
sent. SPOT will automatically determine your coordinates and send your message every 5
minutes for 1 hour in this mode.
Press and hold the HELP button for 3 seconds. The indicator light will change from green to red
to indicate that it is preparing to send a “Cancel” message, and will then turn solid red for 5
seconds to indicate that the message has been sent.
