Using the SPOT Communicator
The SPOT Satellite Communicator has two buttons and
ve light indicators that provide access to power, the SOS
message, and device status information. It can operate
alone to send emergency messages when the PN-60w
is not available.
For information about setting up the SPOT Communicator
for rst time use and how to set up your account at
ndmespot.com, see the Quick Start Guide.
What You Need to Know
The SPOT Communicator needs a clear view of
the sky to obtain a GPS signal and provide the most
accurate location information. It is not reliable indoors,
in a cave, or in very dense woods.
Orient the SPOT Communicator so that the SPOT
logo faces toward the sky—this provides optimal
performance as the antenna is located under the logo.
Keep the SPOT Communicator at least 12 inches
away from other GPS devices as it can interfere
with signal reception of other GPS devices.

works and its coverage area, go to ndmespot.com.
