GETTING STARTED
SPOT X needs a clear view of the sky with no obstructions (buildings, roof
overhangs, trees, etc.) to obtain a GPS signal in order to provide the most accurate
location information and send messages (Figure 1). SPOT X may not function
properly at the bottom of a deep canyon, in a cave, or in very dense woods.
Orienting SPOT X vertically with the antenna facing towards the sky, will improve
performance as the antenna is located on the top portion of the device.
Before heading off the grid, we strongly recommend that you send a test
message to ensure your device was activated properly. You can view your sent
messages in your account at FindMeSPOT.com/MyAccount.
