Read this before operating your BMX-SPT

Your BMX-SPT contains a WiMAX modem to allow wireless Internet access through the supplied USB cable

connected between your BMX-SPT and PC. It also contains a SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker. When connecting the

USB cable to a laptop or PC, the SPOT will be disabled and cannot be used for sending help or 911 messages. When

sending a help, 911, or text message, be sure to disconnect the laptop or PC from the supplied USB cable.

The first part of this User Guide explains the SPOT operation, the second part explains the WiMAX Internet access

operation.

How It Works

The BMX-SPT (ORC 2008)unit is a wireless Internet access modem that you connect to your laptop or desktop

computer for high-speed Internet access through the Open Range Communication WiMAX Network. In this mode it is

used for high-speed data connections. It can also track your locationand notify friends and family when you are on the

move, in the Satellite Tracker mode.

When connected to a personal computer with the supplied USB cable, the device can provide a high-speed wireless

connection for Internet access. Authentication is performed via a simple connection manager and setup routine.

When the SPOT unit detects that the USB has been disconnected from a Personal Computer, the SPOT unit turns on

and is powered by the internal rechargeable battery. When in SPOT mode, the BMX-SPT operates as a SPOT

Satellite Personal Tracking device and the WiMax module is turned off. In WiMAX mode, the BMX-SPT runs on

electricity drawn from the USB ports of a personal computer, and can also charge the battery depending on power

needs of the WiMax module. The battery will be charged from the USB power of a laptop or desktop computer and will

not need to be changed.
