QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
How far should other GPS devices be from SPOT to prevent signal interference?
Other devices should be at least 12 inches from SPOT to prevent distortion of GPS coordinates and interference with message transmission.
Can I use other batteries in an emergency with my SPOT device?
SPOT recommends that you use either Energizer™ Ultimate 8x AAA Lithium or Energizer™ NiMH Rechargeable Batteries to achieve reliable performance. Other AAA batteries will work with SPOT but are not recommended for optimal performance. Using non-recommended battery types may degrade the performance of your SPOT’s message transmission. Always carry extra batteries with you.
Can the unit be plugged in to an external power source?
Yes. SPOT Gen3 can be line powered through a 5v USB connection. Using USB line power will NOT charge batteries inside the unit and SPOT Gen3 is not waterproof when connected to line power.
Where can I find my auth code?
Log into your SPOT account and visiting the My Devices tab. If you are activating your services and do not have an account, you may locate the auth code on a sticker in the device by opening the battery compartment of your SPOT device and removing the batteries.
How much does the SPOT Gen3 device weigh?
The SPOT device weighs 4.0oz (114 grams) with Lithium batteries
