Introducing SPOT � The World�s First Satellite Messenger

Whether you�re just checking in, allowing others to track your progress, or calling for help � SPOT Satellite Messengergives you a vital line of communication with friends and family when you want it, and emergency assistance when and where you need it. And since it utilizes 100% satellite technology, the SPOT Satellite Messenger works around the world � even where cell phones don�t.

How SPOT Satellite Messenger works

Once activated, the SPOT Satellite Messenger will acquire its exact coordinates from the GPS network, and send that location along with a distress message to a GEOS International Emergency Response Center every five minutes until canceled. 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, our country�s embassy or consulate, or other emergency response or search and rescue teams � as well as notifying your emergency contact person(s) about the receipt of a distress signal.

The SPOT Satellite Messenger 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/Check message each time before use. This allows you to evaluate your entire messaging system, from the operational condition of the messenger to the readiness of those you�ve chosen to notify of your messages.

Even if the SPOT Satellite Messenger 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, which will still notify your contacts of the signal and continue to monitor the network for further messages.

How SPOT Satellite Messenger is powered

The SPOT Satellite Messenger 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.
