The Message Sending light notifies you whether or not your most recent message was
successfully transmitted.
• Green – The Message Sending light blinks green after SPOT successfully sends the most
recent message until the next scheduled message or until the message cycle is complete.
• Red – The Message Sending light blinks red if SPOT didn't send the most recent message.
Self teSt
If all visible lights flash red, the SPOT self-test has found a failure, and SPOT will not
send a message.
If the On/Off light, GPS light and Message Sending light all blink red, SPOT has a GPS failure,
but SPOT may still be able to transmit an SOS or HELP message without your GPS location.

GPS Performance

SPOT uses an advanced GPS chipset with extremely high sensitivity to give you maximum
performance. While the SPOT message transmitter is also very high quality, there may be
times when SPOT will have a GPS signal, but not be able to send a message. Make sure that
you have a clear view of the sky at all times.
KeePinG YOUR cOnTacTS in TOUcH
Up to 10 contacts can be added for receipt of your Check/OK, Custom Message and Help messages,
and you can update these at any time on the website by logging in to your account. You can specify
any combination of text/SMS messages or email for the contacts.
SOS messages will go to the GEOS Rescue Coordination Center. In the event of an SOS message,
GEOS will attempt to contact your primary and secondary SOS contacts. These contacts are
required to activate the account. You can change these at any time under the SOS section at
findmespot.com. Changing your other contacts will not change your contacts for SOS.
In some regions, you may choose to send your Help messages to SPOT Assist service providers
instead of friends and family. With this option, you will also need to identify a primary and
secondary Assist contact, this may be the same or different as your SOS contacts.
The recommendation is to use your mobile phone as your SPOT Assist primary contact,
and someone not traveling with you, with knowledge of your itinerary, as your SPOT Assist
secondary contact.
