SECTION 2: GETTING STARTED
Before you start, here are a few important things to remember
to get maximum reliability from SPOT CONNECT:
1. SPOT CONNECT needs a clear view of the sky to obtain
a GPS signal and provide the most accurate location information.
It is not reliable indoors, in a cave, or in very dense woods.
2. Orienting SPOT so that the SPOT logo is facing up
toward the sky will improve performance as the
antenna is located under the logo.
3. Be sure the SPOT CONNECT device is within several feet
of your mobile device. This is necessary to maintain a
consistent Bluetooth connection.
