Message Indicators
For all functions, SPOT lets you know what it’s doing. While preparing to send a message, the
function indicator and ON/OFF lights will blink green every 3 seconds, in unison. Once SPOT
has determined your GPS coordinates and sent your message, the indicator lights will turn
solid green for 5 seconds and then continue flashing in unison. If the lights blink out of unison,
this indicates that the messenger was not able to determine GPS coordinates, usually due to a
blocked view of the sky. To correct, move the SPOT messenger to an area with a clearer view of
the sky, where SPOT will automatically continue searching for a GPS signal. The lights will blink
in unison once it is successful.
Coverage
SPOT works around the world, including virtually all of North America, Europe and Australia,
portions of South America, Northern Africa and Northeastern Asia, and hundreds or
thousands of miles off-shore of these areas. It is important that you check coverage for your
destination before traveling. For latest coverage information, visit www.findmespot.com.
Belt Clip Usage
For maximum GPS performance in SPOTcasting mode, hold the SPOT messenger away from
your body with a clear view of the sky until the lights turn solid for 5 seconds (after
approximately 4 minutes) before attaching the device to your belt.

Battery Life and Usage
• Use only AA lithium batteries in your SPOT messenger. Alkaline or other battery
technologies are not compatible and may damage or cause malfunction of the device.

stored. The ON/OFF light will flash red when lithium batteries have approximately 30%
