Signal Strength 
 

The signal strength  -- 

defined  as  the  difference,  or  delta  (Δ),  between  the  magnetic  field 

detected at the top and bottom sensors -- is indicated by the frequency of the audio signal.  A 
higher audio frequency tone  indicates a stronger  signal;  a lower audio frequency tone 
indicates a weaker signal.  
 
 

Battery Level

   

 
When the battery level gets to be too low (6.8 V), the unit starts to beep for approximately ½ 
second, every 13 seconds, to remind the user that the battery needs to be replaced.  When 
you hear this tone, replace the battery as soon as possible.  Battery life varies with usage and 
ambient temperature.  Cold temperatures reduce battery life.  When the battery level reaches 
6.0 V, the unit turns off to protect the electronic circuits inside.

 

 

Replacing the Battery 

 

 

SPOT is powered by one 9-volt disposable battery.  The battery compartment is located near 
the top of the locator, as shown in Figure 3.  To remove the battery, simply unscrew the two 
flat head screws holding the battery door. The screws are captive and will not come off the 
battery door.  Once you have removed the battery door,  gently pull the  battery from its 
compartment and unplug the connector. 
 
Connect a new battery,  place it back in the compartment, and  replace and screw in the 
battery door. As a safety measure,  the unit will not turn on if the battery connector  is not 
inserted correctly. You should never have to force the battery door closed.  If the battery does 
not sit easily and flat in place, check the battery and the connector for proper seating in the 
battery compartment.
