Spike Quick Start Guide 7
Calibrating Your Compass
Calibrating your compass is only required if you intend to capture the
location of your target (latitude, longitude, altitude), and export KMZ files.
You need to ensure that your Smartphone or Tablet’s compass is calibrated
so your target’s location can be accurately captured.
1 In the Spike app, tap on , then tap Calibrate Compass .
2 Follow the calibration steps as they appear on your screen. You
will be prompted to rotate your Smartphone or Tablet as indicated.
Make sure to face north, that your movements are smooth and
steady, and that each separate rotation is approximately 10
seconds.
We recommend calibrating your compass before capturing target location(s) in a
new area.
Charging Your Spike
Your Spike has an internal battery that requires charging. After setting up your Spike,
we recommend charging your Spike for approximately 3 hours.
1 Connect the USB cable provided to the micro USB charging port on the bottom
of your Spike.
2 Connect the other end of the USB cable to any device that can charge USB
devices (e.g. computer, wall charger, etc). The LED indicator will flash while
charging.
3 The LED indicator will turn green when Spike is fully charged. Disconnect the
USB cable and store in a safe place.
Turning Your Spike Off
Your Spike will automatically turn off after 1 minute of inactivity. Alternatively, you can
turn it off manually by holding down the Power button for 5 seconds until the blue
LED indicator turns off.
