SECTION 4: SYSTEM FUNCTION AND INDICATORS
SPOT MESSAGE SCHEDULE
SPOT is designed to provide outstanding quality and reliability. With a perfect view of the entire sky,
the SPOT is designed to transmit virtually every message. In everyday conditions, the view of the
sky is often blocked due to hills, buildings, or other obstructions so it is normal for some messages
to be blocked. That is why the SPOT automatically sends multiple messages in every mode, giving
you excellent overall reliability. In some modes this means multiple attempts to send the same
message, while in other modes it means regularly updating GPS coordinates and sending a new
message. Placement of your SPOT unit can make a difference. Experiment with placement until you
are familiar with the reliability of your operating environment.
