IMPORTANT SPOT X TIPS

SPOT X needs a clear view of the sky with no obstructions (buildings, roof overhangs, trees, etc.) to obtain a

GPS signal to provide the most accurate location information and send messages. 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.

Since SPOT X has the ability to receive messages, messages sent from the device can be acknowledged

shortening the transmission time.

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

NOTE: If no GPS signal is found the will display on the screen. If possible, you should move to a

location with a clearer view of the sky. You can check the status of your messages in the message thread.

SPOT X OPERATING TEMPERATURES

Prolonged use or storage of your SPOT X in direct sunlight or in a vehicle may cause the device to overheat and/or

damage its battery. SPOT X can withstand operating in temperatures of -4F to +140F (-20C to +60C).
