HELP / SPOT ASSIST
For non-life threatening situations, ask for help from friends and family or professional assistance
providers using SPOT Assist. Your contacts will receive SMS/text or email messages with your GPS
coordinates. Email messages also include a link to view your location using Google Maps
. SPOT
Assist service partners will receive your SPOT Assist message and current GPS location.
MESSAGE CYCLE
SPOT will send your message and current GPS location every 5 minutes for an hour for redundancy
and overall reliability. If SPOT cannot get a GPS signal, it will still attempt to send your message–
without a GPS location.
USING THE HELP FUNCTION
Press and hold the Help button until the function button blinks green. The GPS light will blink
green when SPOT sees the GPS satellites and continue for up to 4 minutes while obtaining
your GPS location.
Once your GPS location is obtained, SPOT will send your message with GPS location. The GPS
light and Message Sending light will both blink green for approximately 15 seconds. The Message
Sending light continues to blink green until the next scheduled message or until one (1) hour after
the end of the message cycle to notify you that your most recent message was transmitted.
If no GPS signal is found, the GPS light will blink red. You should move to a location with a clearer
view of the sky. SPOT will keep looking for your GPS location for up to 4 minutes.
If no GPS location is found in 4 minutes, SPOT sends your message without GPS location. The GPS
light blinks red and the Message Sending light blinks green together for approximately 15 seconds.
The Message Sending light will continue blinking until the next scheduled message or until one (1)
hour after the end of the message cycle.
The Message Sending light continues to blink for one (1) hour after the end of the Help/SPOT Assist
message cycle to give you additional time to verify the status of your most recent message. In a
hurry? You can dismiss the Message Sending light by activating any other function or by turning
SPOT off and then on.
TO CANCEL
Press and hold the Help button until it blinks red. Let SPOT work until the Help button stops blinking
red. The Message Sending light will blink green indicating it has sent the Cancel message.
HOW SPOT PRIORITIZES HELP
Help/SPOT Assist messages are a priority for SPOT. When you select Help/SPOT Assist or SOS,
you will disable Check-In/OK, Custom Message and Track Progress functions. You will be able to
activate Combined Help and SOS mode. If you have signed up for SPOT Assist, SPOT Assist will
not be available, but Help messages will still be transmitted to designated friends & family. SPOT
strongly recommends that you do not utilize Combined Help and SOS mode, as your friends and
family could interfere with rescue efforts; see additional warnings in the FAQ section of
www.findmeSPOT.com.
