Press the OK button. The SPOTteam members you have specified in your
online account will receive a pre-programmed SPOTcheck message via text and/or email with
a link to Google Maps™ with your exact location. Once activated, the indicator light will blink
green every 3 seconds, and turn solid green for 5 seconds when a SPOTchecking message
is being sent. In the SPOTchecking mode, your SPOT messenger sends your message three
times for maximum reliability. The SPOT network will deliver the first message received
to your SPOTteam and discard the remaining identical messages. To make sure SPOT has
enough time to repeat your messages, leave the SPOT messenger on and with a clear view
of the sky for 20 minutes.

You cannot cancel a SPOTcheck message, but you can stop any unsent SPOTcheck messages
by turning off the messenger at any time. Unsent SPOTcheck messages are automatically
disabled when you activate either 9-1-1 or HELP.
