Use this option in the event of a non-life-threatening situation to notify your
SPOTteam – the friends and family you have chosen to notify – that you need
assistance. Or, in the event of a life-threatening emergency, 9-1-1 and HELP
can be activated simultaneously to notify both the Emergency Response Center
and your SPOTteam that you are in distress. Even if SPOT cannot acquire its
location from the GPS network, it will still attempt to send a distress signal – without exact
location – to your selected contacts.

sent. SPOT will automatically determine your coordinates and send your message every 5
