ARMING AND DISARMING HUG FOR UNAUTHORIZED MOVEMENT
THE SPOT HUG will be automatically armed once the Key FOB has left
the Tracker range (60 ft/18m). HUG will be automatically disarmed and
remain disarmed when a paired FOB comes into and stays within Tracker
range. The Tracker frequently checks for the presence of the paired FOB
to ensure security.
Without the FOB present, to arm the Tracker, press the number “01” on
the keypad and then press Check-in/OK. Enter the PIN number and press
Check-in/OK. If successful, there will be one solid beep and 1 solid green
blink on the Check-in/OK LED. If unsuccessful, there will be 3 beeps, with
3 green blinks on the Check-in/OK LED.
Without the FOB present, to disarm the Tracker, press the number “00” on

Check-in/OK. If successful, there will be one solid beep and 1 solid green
blink on the Check-in/OK LED. If unsuccessful, there will be 3 beeps, with
3 green blinks on the Check-in/OK LED.
UNAUTHORIZED MOVEMENT ALERT NOTIFICATION (SENDS MESSAGE)
When there is Unauthorized Movement of the boat, beyond 1640 feet/500
meters of the original location with no FOB in range of the Tracker or
no PIN entry on the keypad to disarm the alarms, the process to send
a satellite message noting Unauthorized Movement begins. The GPS
receiver acquires the GPS position then transmits an Unauthorized
Movement alert message via satellite to the Asset Monitoring Center.
The alert messages will be sent in 5-minute intervals until the asset
stops moving. Once the asset has stopped moving the transmission
intervals will decrease to every 30 minutes to conserve batteries and
once per day if no GPS fix can be found after 4 consecutive attempts.
If a correctly paired FOB becomes present or the user deactivates the
alarm on the Keypad, the Tracker will send a cancel Unauthorized
Movement message. The Tracker will then continue to look for the
presence of a FOB and monitor accordingly.
SENSOR ALERT NOTIFICATIONS
If a Sensor Alert is activated by the external device (i.e. high water alarm,
cabin door alarm, low battery voltage, etc.), a message containing the
GPS position and Sensor Alert name is transmitted via satellite.
• If the FOB is present the Sensor Alerts will automatically be turned off.
• Sensor Alert notications are sent every 5 minutes for 1 hour.
Messages are then included with the Daily status message. Configure
your designated recipients at findmeSPOT.com to receive Sensor Alert
messages via e-mail or SOS.
• Disarming the Sensor Alerts can also be completed via the Keypad.
• The rst Sensor Alert message will be sent within 1 minute regardless
of GPS acquisition.
• If the Alarm condition transition back to Normal state, the Sensor Alert
message will be sent for a total of 5 times before a Senor Alert Cancel
message is sent.
When the Tracker is in the process of sending the Sensor Alert messages
the Tracker over rides the Check-in/OK or Track Progress button press.
The Tracker only responds to the pressing of the SOS or Help buttons. In
addition, the Sensor Alert message overrides the Daily Status message
transmission.
