First, familiarize yourself with your new SpotBot. On the front of the device you will see 3
LED indicators, 2 buttons and a USB port.
Remove the battery cover at the bottom of the SpotBot. Place the batteries in the correct
position. Once the batteries are inserted properly, close the battery compartment and
make sure the screws are tight without applying excessive force.
Left LED (ON) Indicates if a trip is started/stopped. A trip is started when the LED flashes once per
minute. This LED will be yellow when battery power is low.
Middle LED (ALARM) Red LED indicates that an alarm impact has been detected.
Right LED (SENDING) Green LED flashes when the unit is sending data to the SpotSee Cloud.
Button A Enables start and stop of a Trip.
Button B This recessed button will delete all data in the SpotBot (insert a pin in the hole to access
the button).
USB Port To connect the SpotBot to a computer for configuration and download, via micro USB cable.
Included with your SpotBot are 5 no tamper stickers for your use.
We recommend you use the stickers over the rubber cover as an added guarantee that no one will
tamper with the SpotBot during a trip.
