Activating the Device
Before you can use the inReach
®
features of your GPSMAP
86i/sci device, you must activate it.
1
Create an account, and select a satellite subscription at
explore.garmin.com.
2
Turn on the device.
NOTE: You must enter the device IMEI number and AUTH
code to complete the online portion of activation before
heading outdoors.
3
Follow the on-screen instructions.
4
From the main menu, select Activate, and go outdoors to an
open area with a clear view of the sky.
5
Wait while the device communicates with the Iridium satellite
network.
NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes to activate your device.
The device must send and receive several messages, which
takes longer than sending a single message during regular
use.
Iridium Satellite Network
Your device requires a clear view of the sky to transmit
messages and track points over the Iridium satellite network.
Without a clear view of the sky, your device attempts to send the
information until it acquires satellite signals.
TIP: For the best connection with satellites, hold the device with
the antenna pointed toward the sky.
inReach Features
WARNING
Messaging, tracking, and SOS functions require an active
satellite subscription. Always test your device before you use it
outdoors.
Ensure you have a clear view of the sky when using the
messaging, tracking, and SOS functions, because these
features require satellite access to operate properly.
To get the most out of your GPSMAP 86i/sci device, you should
activate it. Activating the device allows you to use inReach
features, including messaging, SOS, tracking, and inReach
Weather.
Messages
Your GPSMAP 86i/sci device sends and receives text messages
using the Iridium satellite network. You can send messages to
an SMS phone number, an email address, or another device
that uses inReach technology. Each message you send includes
your location details where allowed.

NOTE: Your device must be in view of a satellite at the time of
