Initial System Setup/Test 12
TRACKER SYSTEM SETUP
Before installing the Tracker and mounting the Keypad in their permanent
locations, it is necessary to ensure all components are working properly.
You must have activated your SPOT HUG account to perform the system
setup/test. The Tracker comes from the factory paired with the Keypad
and 2 Key FOBs.
1. Set up all three units (Tracker, Keypad, and FOB) together in a
clear line of sight to the sky. Ensure the Tracker unit is facing up.
2. For the system test, the Tracker, Keypad and FOBs should be close
together in order to view the blinking lights and synchronization of
the devices.
3. Install batteries in each unit. When the batteries have been installed,
the Tracker will perform a self-test of the GPS receiver and satellite
transmitter and will check battery power. The On/Off LED will blink
green if the Tracker passes the self-test.
4. Next, the Keypad LEDs will blink red in a pattern to indicate that a
PIN (Personal Identification Number) must be setup. See page 6 for full
instructions. Note the PIN for future reference.
5. Press Check-in/OK on the Keypad for 3 seconds until you hear an
audio beep. The Tracker will blink its GPS LED for up to 4 minutes while
it acquires a GPS fix.
6. If a GPS signal cannot be acquired, the GPS LED on the Tracker
will blink red. Move to a better location where the view to the sky
is unobstructed.
7. If the GPS LED stops blinking before a good location is found, remove
and re-install batteries and repeat the test.
8. Check that a Check-in/OK message is received at the end of the setup.
9. If all three LEDs blink red, the self-test failed. Please call Customer
Care at 1-866-OK1-SPOT (1-866-651-7768).
