SPOT Trace vessel tracking device issues
Following a small number of faults, Pivotel urges customers to review the condition of their SPOT Trace device cables. If you are concerned at all, you can disconnect the unit from the cable and use internal batteries instead. The
SPOT Trace device itself is not impacted and you can still go to sea using internal batteries.
