Getting Started - SPOT X Manuel D'utilisation

GETTING STARTED

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 in order to provide the most accurate
location information and send messages (Figure 1). SPOT X may not function
properly at the bottom of a deep canyon, in a cave, or in very dense woods.

MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY
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.
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.
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).
