MOUNTING SPOT TRACE SPOT TRACE mounted under the fiberglass fairing of a motorcycle using the included Velcro strip and mounting bracket. INITIAL SYSTEM TEST NOTE: Before permanently affixing SPOT TRACE to your asset, verify that the track point/location was received in your account at FindMeSPOT.com to ensure there are no physical barriers that may interfere with the GPS location acquisition or message transmission. 1 Turn SPOT TRACE on - press and hold the Power button; lights will illuminate.
TRACKING SUSPENDED TRACK MODE SPOT TRACE is designed to only send track messages when it detects movement. When it is stationary for more than five minutes, Trace will enter Suspended Track mode. It will automatically send one more track message from the resting location as part of the suspension process. While at rest, Trace will not send track messages. Tracking will automatically resume after the vibration sensor detects movement again.
STATUS Receive a daily alert so you know your asset is secure. The daily alert with GPS coordinates will be sent every 24 hours (based on time of day when the unit was most recently powered on). The Status feature is DISABLED by default unless otherwise changed during account setup.
