CONTACTS

SPOT X can hold up to 70 contacts and/or contact groups. Contacts can be manually 

added through the SPOT X or through SPOT MY ACCOUNT. If added through SPOT MY 

ACCOUNT, syncing is required using the SPOT X Firmware Updater.

MANUALLY ADDING A CONTACT

1.  On the 

Main Menu

 screen, select   

  to display the 

Messages

 screen, then 

 select 

Contacts

.

2.  On the 

Contacts

 screen, select   to    

  display the 

New Contact

 screen 

  (Figure 2).

3.  Enter the required information and  

 

 select  to save the contact to your 

  SPOT X device. 

  If both

 Email 

and 

SMS/TEXT

 fields are   

  filled in, the SPOT X will create two  

  separate contacts, one for each field.

4.  Additionally, the sync required icon    

  (Figure 3) will appear next to the new    

  contact’s name and in the 

Status Bar.

  

  This indicates that the SPOT X will need  

  to sync with SPOT MY ACCOUNT, if you  

  would like the contact to be uploaded to  

  your contact list in SPOT MY ACCOUNT.

NOTE: See the User Guide for instructions on how 

to add contacts through SPOT MY ACCOUNT
