On the SPOT G3 the Check In button is used for Ok Alone as both the ‘Start Shift‘ feature and as the ‘Check In‘ button during a shift.
The Track button will activate tracking and can be adjusted for the timing intervals that the G3 will send to Ok Alone.
The Custom Message button will need to be edited and changed so that it becomes the ‘End Shift‘ message.
