SPOT GEN3
SPOT RENTAL PROGRAM
QUICK START GUIDE
SPOT 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.
Sunshine is more fun anyway!
Orienting SPOT so that the SPOT logo is facing up toward the sky
will improve performance, as the antenna is located under the logo.
The coolest adventurers place SPOT on their backpacks.
Keep SPOT at least 12 inches away from other GPS devices, as SPOT
can interfere with signal reception of other GPS devices.
Your SPOT rental device is preset to track at 2½ minute intervals in
order to maximize your experience.
Before you head out, send a test Check In message to evaluate the
operational conditions and ensure successful receipt of your message.
