HELP/SPOT ASSIST
A Help message notifies your contacts that you need assistance in a
non-emergency situation. A SPOT Assist message notifies
SPOT Assist dispatch centers of your location and that you need
assistance. Professional service providers will be notified that you need
help (SPOT Assist service subscription required).

signal cannot be obtained SPOT will attempt to send the message with
no location information.
USING THE FUNCTION
Help and SPOT Assist can only be activated from the SPOT Connect
smartphone app. Select the appropriate button from the home screen
and follow the on screen instructions for selecting a Predefined message
or creating a unique Type & Send custom message.
TO CANCEL
Help messages can be cancelled from the SPOT Connect app,
simply go to the Help message status page and select the Cancel option.
