your phone on the counter when leaving for work or forgot your keys in a restaurant? Once out
of range, your devices will emit an audio alert as a reminder to go back and get your forgotten
item. Additionally, Tether Mode can provide a security alarm. If someone were to take your
phone or Spot out of range without you noticing, your devices would emit audio alerts. This
notifies you as well as causes the stolen item to emit an alarm.
Tether Mode Alerts
A. How it Works
Tether Mode creates an invisible link between your mobile device and your Spot. Both items are
“in range” when within approximately 120 feet of each other. If either item becomes “out of
range”, the invisible link is broken, which causes both your mobile device and Spot to emit an
audio alert.
A. How it Works
Once you hear the audio alert, the mobile device and Spot must be brought back in range of
each other for the alert to stop.
B. Alarm Toggles
Tether Mode lets you control whether your Spot, your mobile device, or both will emit an audio
alarm when they are out of range.
C. Proximity Meter
This meter shows you how close you are to your Spot when you are in range. If all five dots are
green, you are right beside your Spot. If your Spot is out of range, the proximity meter will
disappear.
D. Camera
Your Spot also allows you to remotely control the shutter of your phone’s camera. Set up a
great shot from a distance or a creative angle and don’t worry about reaching for the shutter
button on your phone.

5. Find Mode
Uses for Find Mode
Find Mode is for you if you often find yourself wondering where you left your phone or rushing
around the house to find your keys before you leave. Find Mode makes sure you’re never
without your most important items.
A. Finding Your Spot
If you have misplaced your Spot, and the item it is attached to, simply open the Spot app on
your mobile device and tap FIND. The Spot will emit an audio alert allowing you to easily find it.
As you search, the proximity meter will help you know if you are getting closer to or further from
the Spot.
