Handing off SOS
When your Android device and inReach are connected, you can start the SOS using the Earthmate app and then power
off the Android device to save battery life—the inReach will send the SOS in standalone mode. No SOS tracking points
or messages will be recorded in the Earthmate app when it is powered off, but both will be visible on explore.delorme.
com. If you connect the devices again, queued messages are downloaded to the Earthmate app. Up to 30 stored
tracking points are also downloaded (1.5 and later rmware).
Alternatively, if you start SOS on the inReach and then open the Earthmate app, you can monitor SOS tracking and
send and receive messages from search and rescue.
To send an SOS message
1. Make sure your inReach is powered on and connected to the Earthmate app.
2. Tap SOS and then tap This is an emergency.
3. If possible, type a message providing details about your emergency. If you cannot type a message, the default
message will be sent. You can also send a predened Quick Text message that you synced from explore.delorme.
com.
4. Tap Send. The countdown timer displays for 10 seconds. To cancel the SOS before it’s sent, tap Cancel.
5. The SOS conversation thread will appear. To enter a new message, tap the Type Message box.
To cancel an SOS message
Tap Cancel SOS in the header of any page. This sends a message to search and rescue to let them know that
the emergency has been resolved and assistance is no longer needed. You will receive a reply acknowledging the
cancellation.
On the inReach, the Signal and Message LEDs ash until the SOS messages have nished sending. The SOS
message thread will close once the cancellation has been processed.
You can also cancel the SOS on the inReach; see page 7 for more information.
IMPORTANT! You must cancel SOS to stop search and rescue from sending help. Turning off the inReach device (or
a connected device) or taking out the batteries will NOT tell search and rescue to stop the rescue. If you replace the
batteries when an SOS is in progress, press and hold the SOS button again to update your location.
