Battery Life and Usage
•
Use only AA lithium batteries in your SPOT messenger. Alkaline or other battery
technologies are not compatible and may damage or cause malfunction of the device.
•
Lithium batteries properly installed in the SPOT messenger should last for several years
stored. The ON/OFF light will flash red when lithium batteries have approximately 30% of
their life or less left. If the ON/OFF light flashes red, or if you are unsure as to the battery
life remaining, replace the batteries. Always test and verify your SPOT device before
any trip.
•
Under normal usage a full battery charge should meet or exceed the following:
– Power ON, unused: Approx. 1 year
– SPOTcasting tracking mode: Approx. 14 days
– 9-1-1 mode: Up to 7 consecutive days
– SPOTcheck OK/
√
: 1900 messages
Belt Clip Usage
For maximum GPS performance in SPOTcasting mode, hold the SPOT messenger away from
the body with a clear view of the sky until the lights turn solid for 5 seconds (after
approximately 4 minutes) before attaching the device to your belt.
Operating Conditions and Climate
Your SPOT Satellite Messenger is designed to go anywhere. However, like all electronic
devices, it has its limits. SPOT relies upon GPS and low earth orbit satellites to fix your
location and send your messages. To work, the SPOT logo (which is directly above the
transmitter) needs to have an unobstructed view of the sky, either outdoors or in a glass-
enclosed area such as in a vehicle. For safety, keep the following in mind regarding the care
and usage of SPOT:
