What satellite network does SPOT use?
• A: SPOT uses a Commercial LEO (Low Earth Orbit) Satellite constellation • Q: How should SPOT be positioned for best accuracy and results? A: The SPOT patch antenna lays directly under the SPOT logo. For best results, position the unit so SPOT is facing up towards the sky in a horizontal position with a full view of the sky. For tracking, try securing your SPOT on top of the shoulder strap or outside top pocket of you backpack. • Q: Is there a quick reference guide for using SPOT in the field? A: This is a quick reference guide that we like to keep handy during an adventure: First use: turn SPOT on, press the OK button and let cycle for 20 min • Tracking: Turn unit on, hold OK button for longer than 5 seconds • Tracking turns off after 24 hours. Engage Tracking every morning • If On/Off light and OK light blink in unison for longer than 20 min., then you are in Track Mode • If lights blink in unison for only 20 min., you were in OK mode *Once in Track mode, holding down the OK button
