Product Description

The SPOT Satellite Messenger, the world's first satellite messenger, uses both the GPS satellite network to determine a customer's location and the SPOT network to transmit that information to friends, family or an emergency service center. SPOT is a revolutionary product that is designed to raise the safety factor for hundreds of millions of people around the world.

Give your loved ones full peace of mind when you're on the mountain with the Spot Satellite Messenger. Whether you're just checking in, allowing others to track your progress, or calling for help, Spot gives you a vital line of communication with friends and family when you want it, and emergency assistance when and where you need it. Spot employs a GPS satellite network to acquire its coordinates, then sends its location to the recipient of your choice, complete with a link to Google Maps and a pre-programmed message. Unlike personal locator beacons, however, Spot does more than just call for help. The SpotChecking feature, for example, lets you notify your SpotTeam--the friends and family you've chosen as your contacts--and tell them all is well, notify them of your location, or save waypoints so you can review your route at a later date. You can also activate the SpotCasting feature to let friends and family follow your progress in real time (every 10 minutes). Anyone with access to your account information can log on and view your route, complete with virtual views provided by Google Maps. SpotCasting is a terrific feature for mountain climbers looking to celebrate their accomplishments with their loved ones.

The most important feature, however, is Spot's ability to call 911 in the event of a life-threatening or other critical emergency. Once activated, Spot will acquire your exact coordinates from the GPS network, and then send that location along with a distress message to a GEOS International Emergency Response Center every five minutes until cancelled. The Emergency Response Center will then notify the appropriate emergency responders based on your location and personal information. Responders may include local police, the highway patrol, the Coast Guard, an embassy or consulate, or other emergency response and search-and-rescue teams. Even if Spot can't acquire its location from the GPS network, it will still attempt to send a distress signal--without your exact location--to the Emergency Response Center, which will still notify your emergency contacts of the signal and continue to monitor the network for further messages.

Spot works around the world, including in virtually all of the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Australia, and portions of South America, Northern Africa, and Northeastern Asia. And provided you're in a good coverage area, Spot offers a 99 percent probability of sending a successful message within 20 minutes. As a result, Spot is ideal for anyone with a taste for outdoor adventures, including boaters, kayakers, sailboarders, archaeologists, skiers, climbers, pilots, business travelers, snowshoers, and just about anyone else.

Spot requires two AA lithium batteries, with a battery life of up to one year in standby mode, 14 days in SpotCasting mode, or 7 days in 911 mode. And thanks to the water-resistant housing (safe in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes), you needn't worry about using Spot in adverse conditions. Spot measures a compact 2.75 by 4.38 by 1.5 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 7.37 ounces

Should you have any problems with the item(s) you purchase from me, please contact me before leaving feedback so that I may make things good between us.

INFORMATION FOR SERIOUS BIDDERS:

* Payment is expected within 72 hours after purchased / won (at the very latest). Immediate payment is VERY MUCH appreciated ...but I will certainly understand if you need a few more days for whatever reason(s). Please just email me a message with a few details along with when you will be able to make the payment. If I do not hear from you within 72 hours, I reserve the right to cancel the transaction and re-list the item, at which point you will lose out and NOT be permitted to bid/buy again.  After 96 hours (4 days) I will submit a non-payment claim with eBay and you will have earned a black mark with them.

*Restocking fee is 25% of Bid Value plus $0.50.

* Please bid / buy with confidence. I stand behind my items and your satisfaction determines my success. I have a very very low return rate because of the great care I take in cleaning/ sorting/ organizing/ testing, researching, photographing, describing, expertly packing and shipping EVERYTHING I sell. When I decided to start selling on eBay I said to myself that I will be fair and honest with the people I will be dealing with as customers.  I believe that I am still doing just that, it is still very true.  I am also a very reasonable & genuine person. If you are as well, we will certainly not have any problems.

* All of my auction items are pre-owned unless otherwise stated in auction title and/or description. I get my items from auctions, thrift stores, yard sales and many other places.  They are then checked and cleaned as best as I can before put up for bid.  I aim to provide more than an adequate amount of photographs and to describe the item(s) as accurately as possible.

* Please check my other listings, if you are interested in buying multiple items from my store, I will combine shipping to the best of my abilities. Don’t pay for any of the items until I send you an invoice with the combined shipping/handling cost included.

* I make EVERY effort to ship within one business day and would say I do about 95% of the time …If not same day, then absolutely 2nd business day.

* INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Check with me before you bid to see if I would be willing to ship internationally or not.  I will only ship internationally using a system that tracks the item.  This is more expensive but I have better luck with it arriving at the destination.  All taxes, tariffs and/or any additional cross border(s) postal fees (if applicable) shall be THE BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY to pay upon pickup/receipt of item(s). This remains the case even if free shipping is offered and/or if we were to come to an agreed "door-to-door" price. In other words, I will NEVER pay these fees. For more information on these fees (if you'll be required to pay, fee amount(s), etc.), please refer to your local governing customs authority. I WILL NOT lower the value of the purchased item(s) on the customs form. This is against the law ...so please don't ask. The answer will be no (sorry).

* Pictures are of the actual item being auctioned, unless otherwise noted in description above.

* Questions regarding condition and like inquires are welcomed and answered promptly. Please refer to manufacturer's websites for product specifications. Sadly, I am not an expert on everything I sell ...so doing a quick Google search on your own is a quicker way to find out technical specs, product compatibility, etc.

* Additional photos can always be provided upon request.

* Your feedback rating is important to me. Please contact me first if you are unhappy with your purchase to discuss the issue and work towards an amicable solution.

* For payments I accept PayPal only.

* I strive to use recycled shipping materials whenever possible. I collect boxes from local stores that I frequent and am always on the lookout for miscellaneous packing materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Not only does this save me money, but that savings trickles down to you, all the while doing our environment a service!

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? NEED CLARIFICATION? PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME USING EBAY’S EMAIL.
