It is critical that once this message has been received and noted, the SOS alert must
be turned OFF by the T-SPOT device. If this is not completed correctly, other SOS
messages sent from the same GPS device will not be received.
4. Check onTrack that status has changed to “Vehicle Alarm” and you have received
alerts via email/SMS (if set up)
5. To clear the SOS alert from the T-SPOT, hold down the SOS button again until it
blinks red. The device will blink red for a minimum of 15 seconds until the message
can be sent/received by the satellites. Once again please ensure you have clear sky
and if your T-SPOT GPS icon is flashing red, the device is unable to get a GPS fix. It
will still attempt to send a message without a GPS location, however the message will
be delayed for up to an hour.
Alternatively you can turn the alert off by switching the T-SPOT off, then repower it
back on. Hold down the OK or TRACKING button until it blinks green.
6. Check onTrack that the status has changed to “Sat Tracker Position”

UNCTION AND INDICATORS
The T-SPOT is designed to provide outstanding quality and reliability. With a perfect view of
the entire sky, the T-SPOT is designed to transmit virtually every message. In everyday
conditions, the view of the sky is often blocked due to hills, buildings, or other obstructions so
it is normal for some messages to be blocked. That is why the T-SPOT automatically sends
multiple messages in every mode, giving you excellent overall reliability.
In some modes this means multiple attempts to send the same message, while in other
modes it means regularly updating GPS coordinates and sending a new message. Placement
of your T-SPOT unit can make a difference. Experiment with placement until you are familiar
with the reliability of your operating environment.
