SOS alerts will not be sent to emergency services. For more information on emergency
contacts please refer to User Guide and Videos for the spidertracks website within the support
website.
2.5. Watch
Press the Watch button for the website to actively monitor your flight. Position reporting will
immediately go to 2 minutes. The website will monitor the position reports coming in and if
none are received for a 10 minute period, while Watch is active, the website will automatically
send out an email and text SOS to your support people.
You can have Watch on for part or all of the flight and are able to turn it on and off by pressing
the Watch button. The normal transmission rate will occur when Watch is turned off. You must
turn Watch off at the end of your flight by a single press (do not hold), and wait for the Watch
LED to stop flashing – this should take less than one minute – to prevent an SOS from being
sent. If the Spider is shut down with Watch on (the Watch LED on or flashing) you are likely to
send a false alert.
2.6. Mark
Press the Mark button to force a position point to be sent right now. A description will be
added to the point when viewed on the website. A notification message can be sent to email
and the mobile phones that have been set up to receive these in the Notification settings page
on the website. When the button is pressed once a Mark 1 is sent, Mark 2 -> press twice, Mark
3 -> press three times, Mark 4 -> press four times. Presses must be within one second of
each other. The LED will flash back the amount of times the button was pressed.
The Mark button can be used at any time and a point will be sent, as long as the unit has a
GPS signal.
2.7. Adjusting the Keypad LED Brightness
You can adjust the Keypad LED brightness by pressing and holding the Mark button down. The
LED will scroll through the levels of brightness. Release the Mark button when your desired
brightness is reached.
