Wednesday, 15 October 2008 15:14

Hey SPOT users, many of you have had SPOT for almost a year now. During that time, maybe some of your account information has changed. Maybe you moved or switched phones for example. No problem! Make sure you log in to your account often to keep your information current.

Here are some important areas in the Account tab:

  • Customer Information: The information that you provide in Customer Information will be relayed to emergency services in case of a life-threatening or critical emergency. So it is important to keep this information up to date
  • Credit Card Information: To ensure there are no interruptions to your messenger service, it is important to keep your credit card information up to date
  • Login Information: Update your account password
  • Billing Information: This page displays all charges applied to the credit card assigned to this account. This includes initial and all recurring charges
  • Preferences: Set your time zone and language preferences

Here are some important areas on your Messengers tab:

  • Edit current profile to set all of your messages that get sent out as well as who they get sent to. Here, it is very important to have the proper primary and secondary emergency contacts in place with current info
  • You can set a totally different profile, say for a certain adventure, and then assign it to your messenger. Your other profiles always remain available to use again

I would like to add a comment regarding comments by Les Stroud on how to start a
fire in the Wilderness. Using gasoline is extremely dangerous! Here is a
simpler, less dangerous means of starting a fire. Before leaving home get a bag
of cotton balls, drug store petroleum jelly (vasaline), saturate the cotton
balls with the jelly, put into small container to keep dry on your trip. These
will burn when wet, will start with a match, lighter, or metal match. I learned
this from Peter Kumerfeldt, retired Air Force Survival Specialist
instructor.
Keep Safe!
