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 for approximately 15 seconds. The
Message Sending light will continue blinking green until the next scheduled message.
TO CANCEL:
Press and hold the SOS button until it blinks red. Let SPOT work until the SOS button stops blinking
red. The Message Sending light will blink green indicating it has sent the Cancel message.
HOW SPOT PRIORITIZES SOS
SOS messages are the top priority for SPOT. When you select Help/SPOT Assist or SOS, you will
disable Check-In/OK, Custom Message and Track Progress functions. Help messages will still be
transmitted to designated friends and family in Combined Help and SOS mode, but if you have signed
up for SPOT Assist, SPOT Assist will not be available. Please note that 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.
SOS
For life-threatening or other critical situations, alert the GEOS International Emergency Rescue
Coordination Center (IERCC). GEOS 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, other emergency response centers, or search &
rescue teams.
MESSAGE CYCLE
SPOT sends your emergency profile information and current GPS location to GEOS every 5 minutes
until cancelled or the batteries run out. If SPOT cannot get a GPS signal, it will still attempt to send
your message – without a GPS location. There is no test mode. If you activate the SOS function,
the GEOS Rescue Coordination Center will treat it as a real emergency.
USING THE SOS FUNCTION
Press and hold the SOS button until it blinks green. The GPS light will blink green when SPOT sees
the GPS satellites and while obtaining your GPS location.
Once your GPS location is obtained, SPOT sends your message and 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 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.
The first message will be sent within (1) minute after activation with or without your GPS location.
For all subsequent messages, SPOT will keep looking for your GPS location for up to 4 minutes.
