9. If temperature alarms are desired, enable the ascending
and/or descending temperature alarms by checking the
box next to them. Select the temperature thresholds for
which the SpotBot will send alerts.
Notifications for temperature will be sent when the
device records temperatures above/below the user
defined thresholds.
Note: A notification will be sent when the device records that
the temperature has returned to within the acceptable
temperature range. For this second notification to be sent, the
temperature must be two degrees below the high temperature
threshold or two degrees above the low temperature threshold.
10. Click Save
There is a tradeoff between the battery life and the summary time. If you need longer
battery life, the summary time should be set to higher values. Please refer to the SpotBot
main specifications for an indication of expected battery life. (Page 3)
After you press Save, the SpotBot will send a summary message with the new settings to
the SpotSee Cloud via the cellular network.
Before you start a trip, verify you can see your SpotBot in the SpotSee Platform.
Login to your account at cloud.spotsee.io and you will be able to identify your SpotBot
within the dashboard.
Finally, unplug the Micro-USB cable and replace the rubber cover. Your SpotBot is ready

PRODUCT MANUAL
Begin Monitoring – Press On/Off button in the access
port. The “On” and “Sending” lights will both flash green.
In Use (No Alarm) – When the SpotBot is in use and not in
process of sending an alarm to the SpotSee Cloud, the
“On” light will flash green every minute if no alarm has
occurred. This light will flash yellow if the unit has low
battery life.
Alarm Triggered – When SpotBot experiences an impact above the “Alarm Threshold,” the
“Alarm” (red) as well as the “On” and “Sending” (green) lights will flash at different intervals.
The lights continue to flash as the SpotBot unit sends the alarm data to the SpotSee Cloud.
Stop Monitoring - Press and hold the On/Off button (for
approximately five (5) seconds) until all three (3) lights
stop flashing and remain on.
4. HOW TO USE YOUR SPOTBOT
A. BEGIN MONITORING
B. STOP MONITORING
A good way to verify if the trip is active is to produce an alarm. Place a notepad on
your desk and drop the SpotBot from 3 inches (8cm) onto the notepad. You will see
all three (3) LEDs flash if the trip is started and no LEDs if the trip is not started.
TIP
The reason you need to hold the button to stop the trip is to
prevent people from stopping the trip while in transit with a
simple push of the button. This way stopping the trip is a deliberate action. As long
as there is cellular coverage, a notice will be sent to the SpotSee user if the trip has been
stopped or the device has been reset, so you know immediately if someone has tampered
with the device.
Unit Status Check – To check the status of the SpotBot unit, press the On/Off button for
one (1) second. If the “On” light flashes green and the “Alarm” light flashes red, an alarm has
occurred. If the “Alarm” light does not flash, then no alarm has occurred.

PRODUCT MANUAL
When you drill down into an individual SpotBot page, you will be able to access more
detailed information about the specific SpotBot.
The map will show the location pin (alarms and summaries) clustered by proximity. By
clicking the numbers on the map, the map will zoom in until you can see individual pins.
The red heat map around the numbers indicates there is at least one alarm within that
cluster. The heat map grows with the number of alarms in that location or area.
B. ASSET PAGE
THE MAP
On the map you will see all the locations your SpotBot reported to the SpotSee Platform.

16
This document is written and published by ShockWatch, Inc. All rights reserved.
PRODUCT MANUAL
A blue pin represents a summary (with location and
count of all alarms registered by the unit since the
last data reset).
A red pin represents an alarm issued by the SpotBot.
The SpotBot will issue an alarm if the impact is higher
than the alarm threshold as defined in Section 3 -
Configure your SpotBot.
On the right side of the map is a list of alarms and
summaries for the unit. The alarm shows the main
axis and the x, y, and z values recorded.
If you prefer to see only the alarms, click on the
Summary label.
The summaries will be removed from the map and
the list and only the alarms will show.
When summaries are turned off the icon at the
bottom changes from blue to gray.
You can do the same with the alarm label if you wish to only see summaries.

17
This document is written and published by ShockWatch, Inc. All rights reserved.
PRODUCT MANUAL
The SpotSee platform will trace the trip path by default when you open the unit page. If you
do not wish to see the path, you can remove it by clicking the lines icon.
The map will then show all the location points
without the path.
INFORMATION TAB
Below the map is a table with relevant current information about the unit.
Unit Start Time – indicates last time a trip was started in a unit (as described in 4.A.).
Unit Stop Time – indicates the last time a unit was stopped (as described in 4.B.)
Unit Reset Time – indicates last time the unit’s data was reset (see more in Step 6.B.)
Largest Event Modulus – largest impact received by the SpotSee platform since the unit
was reset.* NOTE: Modulus takes the x, y, and z directional impacts into consideration and
summarizes the combined result of all three axes. It is is calculated as
Alarm Count – number of alarms recorded by the unit since it was reset.
Summary Frequency – the frequency in which the unit will send a summary

18
This document is written and published by ShockWatch, Inc. All rights reserved.
PRODUCT MANUAL
Time Since Last Message – this field indicates the last time a message was received from the
SpotBot. In case this value is larger than the summary frequency, this field works as warning
of lack of cellular coverage or mishandling of the SpotBot.
Battery Level – indicates the battery level of your unit. When this level reaches lower
percentages, it is advised to change batteries before sending the unit on a trip.
To guarantee data integrity, the SpotBot has a battery preservation feature. The SpotBot
will turn off the radio when the unit reaches 25% battery life but will still record the events
in the unit. At 15% battery, the unit will stop recording, but the data will remain stored in the
unit until the battery is completely depleted.
Below the information tab you can find a graph of impacts over time
with X,Y,Z and Modulus, representing the impact levels of all the
alarms detected by the SpotBot. X,Y and Z axes directions can be
found in the front label of the unit:
Hovering the cursor over the bars in the
chart will allow you to see the individual
values for each impact.
This is true for all the graphs represented
on the SpotSee platform.
IMPACTS OVER TIME

19
This document is written and published by ShockWatch, Inc. All rights reserved.
PRODUCT MANUAL
Below the “Impacts Over Time” graph, you will find the “Impact Histogram.” This chart tells
you how many impacts you had over a certain impact level. This graph divides the impact
values into intervals called bins. Each bar on the histogram represents the number of
measurements falling within a bin.
In this example, most impacts fall within the <10 G bin. We can also see the unit had one
impact in each of the higher G ranges.
TEMPERATURE
Temperature is also recorded by the SpotBot.
