PAIRING

1. Make sure your smartphone has a cellular or Wi-Fi connection during 
the initial device pairing process.

2. Navigate to the Bluetooth Menu on your smartphone and turn on the 
Bluetooth if it is not already.

3. From Off Mode, place the SPOT Connect device in Pairing Mode by 
holding down on the ON/OFF button until the Power LED comes on and the 
blue Wireless Connection LED begins blinking. Your SPOT Connect is now 
discoverable by your smartphone.

4. With your SPOT Connect now in Pairing Mode, scan for Bluetooth 
devices if needed by your smartphone’s Operating System (OS). One of 
the Bluetooth devices listed should be ‘SPOTConnect’ with the last three 
digits of your unit’s ESN at the end. Pair with this device by pressing its 
name.

5. Depending on your smartphone’s OS, if the pairing process was 
successful you will see your SPOT Connect device listed as ‘Paired but 
not connected’ or ‘Connected’. Either of these statuses next to your SPOT 
Connect device in the Bluetooth Menu indicates that you have paired 
successfully. If your smartphone still lists your device as ‘Not Paired’, 
please repeat Steps 3 -5. If you continue to have trouble, please call 
Customer Care for assistance.

6. Open the SPOT Connect app on your smartphone. When prompted by 
the app, please enter your SPOT Account’s username and password you 
created during the device activation process (NOTE: You must first have 
activated your device at findmeSPOT.com with the SPOT Basic Service 
Plan).

7. If in Step 5 you saw ‘Paired but not connected’, you still need 
to establish a Bluetooth connection and the app will prompt you 
accordingly. 

8. The SPOT Connect app will take a few moments to sync with your SPOT 
Connect device for the first time while it checks your device registration 
and profile information.

9. Once the sync is complete, you’re ready to begin using your SPOT 
Connect app and device.

SPOT CONNECT USER MANUAL

CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING

Once you have paired your SPOT Connect and smartphone, you should not 
need to go through the pairing process again for these devices. 

1. If you turn off either device, turn off your smartphone’s Bluetooth, or 
simply take one of the devices out of range of the other, all you need to 
do is reconnect. Once you initiate a SPOT Connect function, the device 
will stay in that mode regardless of Bluetooth connectivity. 
If you lose Bluetooth connectivity and wish to re-establish the link, make 
sure both your smartphone and the SPOT Connect device are turned on 
and next to each other. You can establish a Bluetooth connection between 
your smartphone and SPOT Connect regardless of what mode your SPOT 
Connect is in (Standby, Track Progress, SOS, etc.) as long as it is On.

2. Navigate to the Bluetooth Menu on your smartphone and turn on the 
Bluetooth if it is not already.

3. Depending on your smartphone’s OS, you may need to establish a 
Bluetooth connection via the SPOT Connect app. If this is the case, open 
the app and select your SPOT Connect device from the list of Paired 
Devices. If you can establish a Bluetooth connection via the Bluetooth 
Menu, select your SPOT Connect device from the list of available 
Bluetooth devices and then open the app.

4. If you cannot reestablish a Bluetooth connection between your devices, 
make sure you have the two devices paired. In the Bluetooth Menu, 
if your SPOT Connect device is listed as ‘Not Paired’, repeat the pairing 
process above.

INITIAL SYSTEM TEST

After completing the previous steps it’s time to test the SPOT Connect 
device and the app before completing the system setup at your online 
SPOT Account.   

1. Go outside where SPOT Connect has an unobstructed view of the sky. 

2. With the SPOT Connect device turned on and paired to the smartphone, 
select Check-in/OK.
