1 SPOT TRACE USER GUIDE THEFT-ALERT TRACKING DEVICE 100% SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY 32 To begin using SPOT TRACE, we recommend you spend a few minutes reading through this User Guide, then visit FindMeSPOT.com to select a service plan and activate your SPOT device. Mount the unit with logo pointed toward the sky. It can be mounted beneath fiberglass, fabric, or glass, but metal obstructions should be avoided. Keep SPOT TRACE at least 12 inches away from GPS devices, as it can interfere with the signal reception of your GPS device. Activate your SPOT TRACE before mounting or placing on an asset by visiting FindMeSPOT.com/Activate. HERE ARE A FEW IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT YOUR SPOT TRACE SECTION 1: WELCOME Welcome to the SPOT Family! SPOT TRACE provides satellite-based messaging capabilities so you can track anything, anytime, anywhere. WHAT YOU NEED • Personal contact information, including a valid email address for yourself and other people you would like to receive notifications • SPOT TRACE electronic serial number (ESN) and authorization code located at the bottom of the Quick Start Guide and inside the SPOT Trace battery compartment (keep in a safe place as a reference tool) • Credit card information ACCOUNT SETUP AND ACTIVATION 1. Go to FindMeSPOT.com/Activate. 2. Existing SPOT customers should login to their current SPOT account to add their new device. 3. New customers will need to select: Begin Activation, then Set Up New Account. 4. Follow the instructions provided within the activation portal. Do not skip forms or pages. 5. Choose the services you wish to add to your SPOT TRACE device and confirm your order. 6. Edit your device features, message alerts, and contact information for the necessary message alerts. For more details on SPOT TRACE features, view page 7. IMPORTANT NOTE: An update of SPOT TRACE is required after certain features are edited. SPOT TRACE must be plugged into your computer with the included USB cable to successfully complete an update. Your SPOT TRACE requires an active SPOT subscription to communicate. To do this, simply activate your device using the instructions outlined below. SECTION 2: GETTING STARTED These codes are located on the Quick Start Guide included in your SPOT TRACE box as well as inside the battery compartment of your SPOT TRACE. You will need these codes when setting up your account on FindMeSPOT.com/Activate. ELECTRONIC SERIAL NUMBER (ESN) AND AUTHORIZATION CODE 45 POWER One of these power sources: • (4) AAA Energizer ® Ultimate Lithium 8x batteries (L92) – installed • (4) AAA Energizer ® NiMH rechargeable batteries (NH12) – sold separately • Waterproof – DC Power Cable sold separately REPLACING BATTERIES 1. Loosen the screws to open the back cover. 2. Install 4 AAA Energizer ® Ultimate Lithium 8x batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries. 3. Replace cover ensuring that the gasket is lined up and free of debris. Tighten screws with a small screwdriver. It is important that you fully tighten the back cover to maintain SPOT TRACE's waterproof seal. 4. Keep your batteries installed, even when using an external DC source to ensure proper system performance in the event that the external DC source is cut or should fail PLEASE NOTE: NiMH batteries cannot be charged within the SPOT TRACE unit. If using an External DC source, SPOT Trace will NOT be waterproof unless using the Waterproof – DC Power Cable (sold separately). REPLACEABLE BATTERIES - CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. TO TURN SPOT TRACE ON: Simply locate the Power button on the top of the device, press and hold the button; lights will illuminate. SPOT TRACE will perform a self-test and then enter Track mode automatically. Warning – Blasting Area: To avoid interference with blasting operations, turn your SPOT Trace off when in a “Blasting Area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions. Warning – Potential Explosive Atmosphere: Turn off the SPOT Trace when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. SECTION 3: USING SPOT TRACE SPOT TRACE SELF-TEST: SPOT TRACE performs a self-test when you initially turn on your device. During self-test, all lights will blink green in an alternating manner to indicate self-test is in progress. If all visible lights flash red, the SPOT TRACE self-test has found a failure, please call SPOT Customer Relations. TO TURN SPOT TRACE OFF: Press the power button for 3 seconds. When the device leaves Track Mode and enters Off Mode from the Power button being pressed, SPOT TRACE will send out a message indicating the power has been turned off. This is to let you know someone has powered off the device. Your SPOT TRACE is always in track mode when powered on. The lights will stop blinking after 20 minutes in order to be unnoticeable. A quick press of the power button will resume blinking for another 20 minutes. SPOT TRACE mounted inside a fiberglass compartment of a boat using the included Velcro strip and mounting bracket. Notice the unit is angled toward the sky for optimal performance. 67 MOUNTING SPOT TRACE • Use the reversible mounting bracket, double sided industrial strength tape, adhesive grip pad or adhesive velcro strips (all included) to affix the SPOT TRACE to your asset • Ensure the SPOT logo is pointed toward the sky • The unit can be mounted beneath fiberglass, fabric or glass, but metal obstructions should be avoided (see examples on page 5 & 6) • If using an External DC source, ensure that the unit will be mounted close enough to the power source • If using an External DC source, SPOT TRACE will NOT be waterproof unless using the Waterproof – DC Power Cable (sold separately) • Experiment with mounting options to determine what works best for your asset and your needs NOTE: Before permanently affixing SPOT TRACE to your asset, verify that the track point/location was received…
