Default SPOT Question

Someone asked me a question about my SPOT that I couldn't answer, and

If your SPOT tracker is turned on in stand-by (ie. not tracking mode),
can the device be actively pinged for its location? *The scenario
would be that you are MIA but didn't activate the Help or Emergency
buttons. *Can you be found it the device is simply turned on? *This
assumes of course that you have a clear shot to the satellite.

Thanks for any input.
