IMPORTANT NOTES
The blinking light in each function button lets you know that you have successfully engaged that function.
After you engage the function, T-‐SPOT looks for a GPS signal and location as indicated by the blinking green light.
Once the GPS location is obtained, T-‐SPOT sends your message and the GPS and Message Sending lights blink green together
for 15 seconds, indicating a successful GPS fix and starting the message sending cycle.

IMPORTANT NOTES
CHECK-‐IN/OK: T-‐SPOT must get a GPS signal before sending your Check-‐In. If no GPS signal is found, the GPS light blinks red
and T-‐SPOT deactivates the function without sending any messages.
Track Progress: T-‐SPOT must get a GPS signal before sending your waypoint. However, T-‐SPOT will stay in the Track Progress
function, and again look for a GPS signal at the next scheduled message interval.
HELP: T-‐SPOT sends HELP messages even without a GPS location. T-‐SPOT will again look for a GPS signal prior to sending the
next scheduled message (4-‐5 minutes), and repeat the entire message cycle.
SOS EMERGENCY: T-‐SPOT sends SOS messages even without a GPS location. T-‐SPOT will again look for a GPS signal prior to
sending the next scheduled message (4-‐5 minutes), and repeat the entire message cycle.
