From the Home page, press SOS, then select Emergency, and then select Compose to view the SOS page. Type
the details of your emergency or select an SOS Preset Message and press Send.
Tip: Unlock the SOS slider and hold the SOS button on the inReach Explorer to contact Emergency
Response.
Your message is sent to Emergency Response along with details of your location. When they receive your
message, they respond with an acknowledgement, which appears in the SOS page. Reply to this message to let
Emergency Response know that you are capable of interacting with them during the rescue.
Your inReach sends an updated location report to Emergency Response every minute for the first 10 minutes
of your SOS. To conserve battery power, location updates are subsequently sent every 10 minutes when
moving and every 30 minutes when stationary.
If you decide that you no longer need assistance, cancel your SOS message by selecting Cancel from the SOS
page or by holding down the SOS button. Your inReach needs to successfully transmit this cancel request and
receive a confirmation from Emergency Response before it returns to normal operation.
Note: It is not possible to turn o! your inReach Explorer when in SOS mode or when cancelling SOS
mode.
While your device is in SOS mode, the Status Bar will be highlighted in red until you cancel the SOS.
Use the Earthmate App
If you chose to pair your inReach Explorer to a mobile device during the setup process, you can use the
Earthmate app for increased functionality. The mobile device and the inReach must stay within Bluetooth range
of each other to use the Earthmate app during your trip.
Tip: Make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your mobile device’s settings to ensure it is successfully paired
with the inReach.
Download detailed topographic maps and NOAA nautical charts to use on your trip. Once downloaded, your
maps are available through the Earthmate app throughout your trip.
Tip: Download maps prior to leaving for your trip. The Earthmate app requires either a wi-fi connection
or cellular coverage for map downloads.
Use the Earthmate app on your mobile device to send and receive Messages or to start and stop Tracking via
the inReach Explorer. All of your Messages and Tracking Points appear on your Earthmate app map showing
your travel.
Tip: Send a message from your vehicle or select Start Tracking to mark your starting point on your
Earthmate app map.
Messages sent using the Earthmate app or the inReach Explorer appear on both devices.
Share a coordinate with someone else via a Message. Tap on the Earthmate app map to send a Reference Point
with a coordinate for a location even if you aren’t currently at that location. (For example: “Meet me here in
four hours.”)
NOTE: An Earthmate app update is currently in development to bring the same Waypoint, Tracking, and
Routes features found in the inReach Explorer to your mobile device.
